(I don’t have any gender or sex-related parts (if a construct has those you’re a sexbot in a brothel, not a murderbot) so maybe that’s why I find sex scenes boring. Though I think that even if I did have sex-related parts I would find them boring.)

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

“Before your second mother, I had never been an actual member of a team before. Just an…”
Amena finished, “An appliance for a team.”
That was it. “Yes.”

But then I started exploring the company servers and discovered hundreds of hours of downloadable entertainment media, and I figured, what’s the hurry? I can always kill the humans after the next series ends.

Amena looked frantic. I was a little frantic, too.

I was freezing because my temperature controls had given out at some point on the way here, and the protective skin that went under my armor was in pieces.

Back in the safety of the ready room, I leaned my head against the plastic-coated wall. Now they knew their murderbot didn’t want to be around them any more than they wanted to be around it.

I didn’t want to answer any reasonable questions.

What did Miki have that I wanted? I had no idea. I didn’t know what I wanted. And yes, I know that was probably a big part of the problem right there.

Undetermined, ART said, like it honestly didn’t give a crap. And honestly, it probably didn’t. The Targets had attacked ART’s crew. It wasn’t interested in the mystery, it just wanted its crew back.

“An abandoned colony.” Amena stirred the goop on her plate, glaring. “A bunch of people left to die, like our great-grandparents.”

You’re talking too much, ART told her on the feed, right as I was about to say it.

Lack of attention to detail is one of the reasons humans shouldn’t do their own security.

Also, you may have noticed, I don’t care.

(This was not the first time I’d been shot in the head by a human I was trying to protect, let’s put it that way.)

I was going to break into targetControlSystem and do terrible things to it.

If I didn’t find anything, this was going to be a huge waste of my time.

But Dr. Mensah had told the Preservation Council the truth (no, I don’t know why, either) and then she had to brief Station Security.

She was short for a Preservation human, a little lighter brown than Mensah and maybe a little older, but with a solid square build that looked like she could punch someone pretty effectively.

I guess you can’t tell a story from the point of view of something that you don’t think has a point of view.

ART’s freedom to weigh in on everything I did was punishment enough.

MurderBotBot @murderbotbot.bsky.social · 2d

Okay, okay, I admit that it was a little upsetting that Thiago didn’t trust me.

The drones had also tracked the five younger kids on a completely illicit expedition to a nearby creek where they had performed some kind of ritual that involved jumping out at each other from behind bushes and rocks.

So they made us smarter. The anxiety and depression were side effects.

Senior Indah stopped looking at me to glare at Pin-Lee. “All we’re asking for is a name.” I have a name, but it’s private.
