    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    You did try to tell them.

    Of course you did. You couldn’t help it. The very first time you’d come back, you’d looked into their faces and burst into tears. They’d crowded around you, cooing and worried, as you curled into a ball and sobbed so hard you could barely breathe. Of course they wanted to know what was wrong; of course the truth slipped out; of course they thought they could try and fix it.

    Summary

    It’s not that I wasn’t curious, and it’s not like there wasn’t a more logical part of me that knew that this was terrible security procedure, even if I didn’t hear a peep from risk assessment (what else is new?). But on a deeper level, I knew there wasn’t any risk.

    I wanted ART to prove it to me.

    I wanted to go in blind and know that it wouldn’t hurt me, and that it would stop if I asked it to. I wanted to let ART in and not have to think about it.

    ART takes Murderbot up on an offer to plug into each other's systems.
