    Summary

    It was only now that I’ve started to look back at some of my logs from… let’s call it when the Shit Hit The Fan. It’s pretty painful to look back on the logs of that clusterfuck, because 1. I'd been a gigantic asshole and 2. I'd had a very public physical and emotional meltdown.

    I said, trying to sound lighthearted and not really succeeding, “I’d like medical clearance to go join the ground team?”

    *

    Agenda:
    1. Rogue machine intelligence coalition building
    2. Avoid alien remnant (re)infection
    3. Endure some excruciating conversations

    *

    Silly tags to spare the wrangler:

    Summary

    “Is there something wrong with them?” asks Perihelion. It does not sound as threatening as it did earlier, but I am a SecUnit. We do not know how to trust. It is not in our nature.

    Well...

    Summary

    I asked, What are you feeling so good about?

    I was expecting it to suddenly be aware that it wasn’t being snarky, and start being snarky. Instead, it just said, That feels nice.

    Summary

    "Mirabelle looks like she’s about to pick up another human and I’m not even going to pretend to be okay with that.

    'How old are you three?' Annoyance #2 asks, arms crossed and foot tapping.

    'Twenty-two!' Mirabelle chirps,

    'Twenty-three!' Annoyance #1 grins,

    'None of your business.' I say, crossing my arms right back at her.

    She gives me an appraising look, before sighing, 'There’s absolutely no way I’m leaving the fate of an entire country to a group of children,' Hey! A hand comes up to pinch the bridge of her nose, 'Right. I’m coming with you.'"

    In which Murderbot has a hell of a time getting used to the new party member. It'll be fine. Maybe. Probably. Possibly. Or it won't. But that's a problem for later.

    Summary

    "I was outvoted. And by outvoted I mean, Mirabelle said that she really wanted this random Defender to come along with us, and I couldn’t say no to her big sad sparkly savior eyes. I mean, I *could* say no (I *did* say no) but that made my organics feel weird and I ended up caving."

    In which Murderbot helps defend Mirabelle and this random Defender guy from some Sadnesses, gets asked some mildly uncomfortable questions, and does it's job.
