Summary
I have a total of forty-two drones aboard ART. (Okay, the Asshole Research Transport that I’m on is actually called Perihelion, but seeing as it threatened to melt my neural tissue when we first met and later kidnapped me, I’d say it’s more than earned the nickname.) Thirty one of them are small intel drones no more than a centimeter across, ten are bigger, standard-sized scout drones, and one is a large, newly-constructed ops drone, with extendable arms used for manipulating the environment that unfold out from its central, oval-shaped body. It’s a lot like the drone that ART piloted on that stupid fucking alien-remnant-contaminated planet, although it probably won’t be as much of a sarcastic asshole.
Kidding. I’ll still be the one operating it.
Whatever. The point is, I have all of these drones, and I still didn’t see her coming.
"Excuse me. Can I draw you?"

We know the next book will feature Dr. Mensah's children, which made me think about how Murderbot might get along with a child like my daughter. This story is the result of me giggling too much about it.

Summary
“I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
“Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
“Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me. -
