Summary
This is one of those moments where I think it was a mistake letting ART watch all those serials with me (I have lots of those moments). Someone saying ‘we should talk’ is never a good sign. It always means an emotional conversation is going to happen, and I hate having those.

ART and Murderbot hash out some of the dumb stuff they did during Network Effect. Love language=arguing. Blanket=given. Media=watched.

Summary
When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.
Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

Summary
It was as if, until now, SecUnit had just been a background figure in the stage-setting of Amena’s life, playing the shadowy role of some uncanny corporate surveillance machine-person. But now the light had fallen upon it, shown it in full color, full dimensionality, and that made SecUnit real to Amena in a way that it hadn’t been before.

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.
