The ship's secured feed activity went frantic for seven minutes that felt like thirty. (And the way I experience time, that's a lot.)
(Yes, I started some media in background.)

I'd been pretending to be human off and on since I left, but this was the first time I'd had anything on me that officially
labeled me as human. It was weird. I didn't like it.

When I got back to HaveRatton Station, a bunch of humans tried to kill me, Considering how much I'd been thinking about killing a bunch of humans, it was only fair.

I know in the telling it sounds like I was on top of this situation but really, I was still just thinking, Oh shit oh shit oh shit.

The client has to believe your assessment of the situation is accurate. (And I know, it's not my client.)

Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas,
(Yes, that was sarcasm.)

I was going to have to make friends with the stupid pet robot. Hi, Miki.
It answered immediately, Hi! Who are you?

Wouter van Noort is 86% done with Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries, #2)

I probably should have been doing that from the beginning, but you may have noticed that for a terrifying murderbot I fuck up a lot.

I was trying to isolate why I felt so uneasy. Trapped in a small enclosed space with humans, check. Missing my drones, check. My Giant Asshole Research Transport too busy to complain at, check. Needed to actually focus on what I was doing so couldn't watch media, check.

Are all constructs so illogical? said the Asshole Research Transport with the immense processing capability whose metaphorical hand I had to hold because it had become emotionally compromised by a fictional media serial.

I was ready to settle in until it was time to think about what I was going to do when I got to my destination, something I intended to put off until the last possible moment.
Then, through my feed, something said, You were lucky.

I hadn't ridden in the cargo container for a while. It would have been comforting and homey, except it wasn't my cargo container.

I prepped the big hopper to go to the other side of the planet.
(And yes, I had to pull up the instructions.)

At they had overruled the ones who wanted to talk to me about it. Yes, talk to Murderbot about its feelings. The idea was so painful I dropped to 97 percent efficiency.

That sounded like a great plan, in that it didn't involve me.

Valentino and I are becoming inseparable as if we're the living, breathing versions of our inscribed name back on the Brooklyn Bridge ValentinOrion, all one word, the bigger O because it belongs to both of us.

We're going to turn this End Day around. Not like a fucking ship but like two boys who are determined to make every last moment count.
"Thanks for not leaving me alone, Orion."
"I'm your friend to the end, Valentino."

As I look into the mirror, I don't see a Decker looking back at me. I already look alive and well because I am alive and well.
