    Summary

    “I’m due to perform another cargo run once we complete the handoff to Holism,” ART said. “It will be my usual route, including a stop at RaviHyral.”

    I stared up at the ceiling, and the letter from the ComfortUnit. Having free will is a pain in the ass sometimes.

    Three messaged me over the feed. “The ComfortUnit needs help.”

    My human-imitation code cued me to blink. Three’s drone was creeping closer to my face. Three hadn’t initiated many conversations yet, so this was notable.

    I responded to its channel, “Yeah, but I don’t know if I’m the right one to help.”

    3.03 seconds passed. Then Three said, “I can help. I’ll go.”

    Summary

    I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].

    ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.

    I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.

    Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

    Summary

    "I wont deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do, So I try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you." - Hozier, Talk

    ART wants to be prepared for every eventuality. Especially the eventualities that involve SecUnit willingly getting back into its MedBay. It has started simulating surgical protocols, making sure its medical programs align with SecUnit's physiology, so that when the time comes to perform certain operations, the chances of success will be at a maximum.

    No other reason.
