Summary
He swore through gritted teeth, something I couldn’t translate, then added, “Shit, sorry. This must pale in comparison to the kind of hits you take on a regular basis.”
That was stupid, I was literally designed to take hits. Calmly working the shirt down micron by micron, I said, “Yet another reason I wouldn’t want to be human. Pain is really inconvenient.”

SecUnit wakes up fresh, is deployed to a new fresh hell. All the beats of a timeloop, but it's just the horror of life as a SecUnit.
Maybe this Ganaka Pit contact will suck less, eh?

Summary
On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.
Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.

Summary
ART’s MedSystem is top-notch. None of its crew ever complained, right? Nor did the SecUnit it calls its friend.
It’s not like SecUnit wouldn’t bother to tell it if something was wrong.
-
Bookmark Notes:
"The subroutine giving me human characteristics wasn’t operational either, so I had some hope my face wasn’t showing just how the fuck it hurt. I didn’t want ART to know, because it’s sensitive and it doesn’t like realistic violence."

Summary
6.83 hours after the incident, it is quiet on the command deck. My drones have cleaned all traces of blood and fluid from the deck and MedSystem is set to high priority in the front of my feed. And SecUnit sits in the same chair it always does. It's sunken into the cushioning, so still it could be in a shutdown, but I can of course feel that it's awake. I haven't let it out of arm's reach since last night.
We are quiet for a long time.
We have to talk about this, I say eventually.
It takes 18 seconds to respond.
We do not, it says with finality.

Summary
“You have seen all fictional media with SecUnits,” Three said in a smug voice. “This is from a documentary. It is a fictional recreation, but it is from media that you would have skipped.”
SecUnit didn't respond. Iris was politely looking away from it, but its silence felt intrigued.
“And,” said Three, “it's heroic.”

Some time ago, but not that many years, certainly within her dad’s lifetimes, an entire mining colony had revolted against their corporate overlords.

Summary
Sometimes you wish your SecUnit had not sent you its memories of its experiences with its governor module. On one metaphorical hand, they were and are vital to understanding it, and it deserves to be understood.
On the other hand, they're fucking terrifying.
-
Bookmark Notes:
"You have been treated gently, reverently, respectfully, and as a person whose thoughts and feelings matter.
Your SecUnit was not.
It was created to be broken, and it has been broken again, and again, and again, so many times that its internal service records blend together, skipping entries, entering blanks. You have no idea how many times it has been on the brink of permanent shutdown. It knew from the moment of its activation that it would die alone and in pain, letting go of a life unlived. "

Summary
I didn’t look directly at Seth, because intimidation wasn’t the purpose of showing him my face. But I saw that moment that all of my clients had; the recognition that they’d signed their life over to an entity that intended to guard it with trained and shackled monsters.

Summary
It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.
For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

If you want to pass as human, I can build a specialized drone for you that will mimic the appearance of a daemon from a distance. With time, it may even collect enough dust from you to become something akin to a true construct animus.

Summary
There’s definitely something wrong with my threat assessment module, because I know this is a stupid decision but I’m making it anyway. “Okay, no way around it. I’m going to have to go talk to this White Wolf person. I don’t suppose you have a map to where he lives?”
I’m not letting a Rim corporation take over this fucking mudpit without at least trying to stop it.
