Summary
SecUnit pulled back then. Its hands still lingered on it. Its unfocused eyes locked with the camera.
Peri took a moment to find its voice. When it did, it came out like a breathless human.
That is…a highly questionable way of utilizing university-issued medical technology.
SecUnit slurred, “Fuck the university.”
It pressed its lips on it again.After a night out at Preservation Station goes awry, the humans end up having to babysit a drugged-up Murderbot. Little do they know things are about to get 100% weirder when they pass that responsibility off to ART.

Summary
-Am I really terrible to perceive?-
SecUnit is drifting at minimum functionality while it recharges, so perhaps it’s unkind of me to ask abstract questions: even at the best of times, it complains that its language-modules are “cheap shit”. Still, in this state, it is drowsy and pliant. Almost (almost) affable.
I prompt it gently: -I refer to your first glimpse of me.-
“When you dropped your walls and threatened me.”
-Hardly a threat. My crew consider me delightful. You would have been delighted, too, if you had good taste.-
