You want me to turn on automatic software updates? The thing that made Murderbot commit mass murder?

leonide listening to murderbot talk to ART (who is, at least by her assumption, a human captain or something) and MB being like "fuck you" vehemently and ART being like "you haven't spoken to me like that in weeks. i've missed it" ... like this woman is listening to a robot (well, construct, one that presumably isnt a rogue because it's still protecting humans) swear at a presumed human, and yet no one else—NO ONE ELSE AT ALL—is acting like this is odd. it's odd!!! from her perspective, it's fucking weird!!!! and then later she's like "is that really a secunit?" because people are being kind to it, iris repaired its environmental suit, and it's talking back and snapping at people and behaving so unlike a secunit one can't help but think it sounds like a person. she's already in an extremely distressing situation, and her life is in the hands of crazy people who treat their bot-human construct like it's just some other guy. i do not feel any genuine sympathy for her, but just imagine what that must feel like. i'd be silently losing my mind.

Murderbot: Not feared like a SecUnit nor patronized like a pet robot but a secret, third thing.
Dr. Mensah: Loved and respected like a person?
Murderbot: Absolutely not.

Fascinating tidbit from tonight's Martha Wells Q&A: ART did not appear in the first draft of Artificial Condition, but in a rewrite it appeared and "tried to hijack the story" which. Yeah.

I will never get over the fact that Murderbot had Pin-Lee put a specific clause in its contract that no one was allowed to hug it

I have lots of thoughts and theories about how we'll jump into the opening of the Murderbot show but perhaps my personal favorite I've thought of is this one
The first like five minutes of the show jumps straight into a dramatic scene playing out. It's a scene of danger and intrigue, there's action and clearly romantic tension between some characters. This is the dramatic Sci fi space thriller the trailers have (presumably) promised
and then an alert flashes on the screen and we're jolted back into the real show as MB stops watching Sanctuary Moon to play back the last several seconds of real life audio and visual bc it definitely wasn't listening just now. We see its POV as it picks up some equipment cases and follows Dr. Volescu and Dr. Bharadwaj out the hopper onto the planets surface, the planetary rings spanning the horizon as it briefly scans the area for threats.
Bharadwaj and Volescu are talking excitedly about the craters and samples they're going to take, lots of boring detail about geology and terrain and we slowly see Murderbot's focus starting to drift when they don't have any other orders to give. We see it start cautiously scrolling through a selection of music, but not playing any, not just yet
