Summary
Dr. Mensah says, "I love you". Murderbot, who in all its time consuming media has only ever heard those words in a romantic context, reacts poorly.
Using space soap operas as your only reference for human interactions turns out to not be ideal. Who would've guessed?- Language:

Summary
“Maybe exploring every possible outcome of each action in an inescapable loop of paranoia and anxiety wasn’t the most normal reaction-state but hey, if it was, there would be a lot fewer stupid murders.”

Summary
Five times Murderbot felt reluctant to accept acts of friendship in the face of a hostile world. One time it does.
“I’m not going to use you as a shield.”
He’d found a very stupid time to be stupid. Hostiles killing both of us was by far the worse outcome than them only killing me. And my body could actually be used as a shield with some degree of success. “

Summary
Ah. Gurathin lightly skimmed over the ragged mess of my processing power, presumably to confirm what I’d said. It was a testament to how fucked up my head still was that I didn’t automatically shove him away at the first slight brush of his presence. After a moment, he drew back. So you want to stop?
I didn’t want any of this. It wasn’t about what I wanted. We have to.
I disagree, Gurathin said thoughtfully. We could redistribute the workload. If you still don’t want me interacting with the contextual data records, you can finish it and then hand all of it to me at once, so I can do the recompiling while you just focus on readjusting to the changes.
I tried to picture what he was describing. My code being fixed, piece by piece, while I just sat back and let it happen? Let myself be, what, tended to? Healed? Yeah, absolutely fucking not. My organics were doing weird shaky things just at the idea of it. Not happening, I told Gurathin.
