Day 6: Experimentation

Summary:

The knowledge that changes to its configuration while fully conscious might fuck Murderbot up isn’t merely theoretical knowledge.

Notes:

Alt prompt for today bc I could not get the other one to cooperate... (and yes, I’ve started the series over. How could I not?)

(See the end of the work for more notes and other works inspired by this one.)

Work Text:

Here’s the thing: the company wasn’t supposed to tamper with us. At least not after we’d been deployed and had had a personality emerge (of course, they tried to make sure that didn’t happen, but it had never stuck, at least not for me).

They’d wiped my memory afterwards, but the purge never affected the organics, and it revisited me – lying on that bench, immobilised by a governor module as they fucked with me, the pain, disorientation–

If you wondered how I’d known rewriting my configuration at full consciousness might fuck me up?

That was how. Been there, done that.
