Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

Humans are kind of like us, in a way, it said, and I registered distaste and also fondness in its tone, Sometimes they’re really fucking stupid about feelings.
And always determined they’re right, I added. (I had only sort of intended my words as a jab at SecUnit, but it was also a little about me.)
Yeah. They need hard facts, sometimes.
You understand how completely ironic this is coming from you, right?
