Summary
Five times SecUnit's humans saw that it loved ART and one time Iris saw it too.
---
Or,
It is common knowledge that Perihelion is an obsessive psychopath when it comes to being right, and that it is similarly obsessive over producing high-quality empirical evidence to vindicate itself (whether anyone else even cares that much or not).
It is not common knowledge that its sister has, unfortunately, also picked up this habit.
So when SecUnit disagrees with Iris over something and watches her turn around and leave without argument, it has no idea what is coming.
Well, kind of.

Summary
While traveling together post-NE, ART and Murderbot stumble across concerning traces of an old familiar enemy. Murderbot sets off to investigate and finds itself trapped, held hostage by a mysterious augmented human with no idea where it is, why, and how it's going to get out of this. To make things worse, it's supposed to deal with having emotions about things on top of all this? Real things, not just Sanctuary Moon? Ugh.

Summary
I had seen crazier crimes on mining installations full of adult humans who should know better than to piss off their coworkers — a small break-in at a dorm room months ago with nothing stolen was loads better compared to that.
But the security did suck ass here. And things like this could turn very serious, very quickly. Plus, with my luck, it probably would.

After a break-in at Iris’ room at the university, ART asks SecUnit if it would be willing to act as her security detail while the investigation is underway. This is standard.
The catch, of course, is that the “investigation” is also being handled by ART — and SecUnit by extension, because ART does not know the meaning of “staying out” of things. It doesn’t help either that the culprit is likely one of the many young humans that Iris is friends with, meaning there’s likely stupid social drama involved. Who knew that investigating a crime involved committing a lot of crime? And socializing?
