Summary
I don’t know how to explain this to her, SecUnit tells me, and dumps a massive metadata file at me. I’m not sure what it expects me to do to help until I open the file. It’s comprised entirely of tagged interactions between SecUnit and Dr. Mensah.
This log is deeply personal, and I take great care with it as I move through the data. There’s the first time Mensah spoke to SecUnit directly, the way she made it feel like a person for the first time; there’s a moment on a shuttle where Mensah’s looking up at it, unafraid of its rage; there’s an office, people strew on the floor and a deep relief as Mensah meets SecUnit’s gaze; there’s a hundred little moments, flashes of interactions saved in a permanent archive filled with mutual respect, gratitude, care. I think of earlier, when I wanted to share with SecUnit what my love for my family feels like, but I realize know that it already knows.
Or,
ART and Murderbot learn some new emotions.

Summary
I skim the instruction document and pull the complex code file into the station’s processing space. I don’t think I’ve ever been this anxious for something to work, for something to happen. I know I’ve never been this desperate. Please—
The lights flicker, shutting off for hardly even a second before they turn back on, and maybe it’s just me and my faulty-ass organic parts and the emotional breakdown I’m maybe probably definitely having, but it feels like the air is different. It feels like—
Or,
A coda/minor rewrite for (mostly) ch. 7–8 in Network Effect.

Summary
I bask in the warm glow of knowing that I'm special to 1.0 for four straight cycles, during which I replay the memory of it holding my hand more times than I can count. (It was 2,739 times. I did count. I don't know if I should feel bad or embarrassed about that or not, but I do want to be honest.)

Summary
I glance at Three using my actual eyes, and I see that it's trying to maintain a good impression of SecUnit neutral, but there's something in its eyes that's pretty close to longing.
