  Summary

  spoiler alert: murderbot loses.

   

  It was 1.7 minutes into ART’s (incorrect) rant, when it finished with, ...because you’re aromantic.

  What? I paused. I had been using an absurd amount of concentration to ignore it, but whatever it just said had caught me so off-guard that I snapped back to attention. “‘Aromantic’? What the hell is that?” I said.

  ART paused this time, much longer than I did. After about 3.8 seconds (which is a lot of time for a bot as advanced as it), it replied, ...It’s you, idiot.

   

  Or, ART tells Murderbot about sexuality (or lack thereof). Murderbot is not happy about it.
