Summary
SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.
The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

Summary
The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.
Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.

Bookmarker's Notes
“It has sensory input but no context for it,” I said, then used a drone to look at all their faces and realized that they still didn’t understand. I didn’t want to explain. I had to explain. “It’s never been alive before. It doesn’t know what it means. It’s not in pain. It’s scared.”

Summary
SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…
