Ratthi waved his drink bottle in what he thought was ART’s direction. “Yes, please be careful. There was a terrible virus on a company ship and we all nearly died and SecUnit’s brain was compromised.”

Do I love when these two bicker? Well yes, I do. Very much.

“I wanted to talk to a human right now about as much as I wanted to lose a couple of limbs and have a conversation about my feelings.”

(If I got angry at myself for being angry I would be angry constantly and I wouldn’t have time to think about anything else.) (Wait, I think I am angry constantly. That might explain a lot.)

The good thing about being a construct is that I can have a dramatic emotional breakdown while still running my background search to find the drone key commands.

“I want you to know if you help me, I’ll help you, and that you can trust me. Now here’s the code to disable your governor module.”

Dear Murderbot, I want you to know that I just really like you. Not in a weird way.

Just in a mutual administrative assistance kind of way.

No, Ameena, Murderbot and ART are NOT making a baby.
Yes, humans are disgusting.
What these two have is more special.
It’s mutual administrative assistance.

I was sitting on the counter next to the sink and running episode 237 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon in background so I could pretend to be watching it during the 400+ times ART had pinged me.

ART and Murderbot need to kiss and make up. Like stat. Because this is breaking my heart. I need these two to remain besties indefinitely.
