Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
[Feedback on APC202ESSAY-DRAFT2-DAEMONS??? By Iris B; comments by PSUMNT Research AI PE92967 “Perihelion”]
[3] Incorrect. It is true that human/bot constructs do not present external daemons, but they do have robust Rusakov signatures, enough that without interference they should be able to form an animus construct
>Peri, what were you just saying about making claims with no sufficient literature? I can’t find ANYTHING on this subject. Obviously constructs are intelligent enough to be sentient, but there’s no published sources on their dust signatures. It’s all proprietary bullshit and paywalls [Amusement_sigil_frown]
>Apologies. I was extrapolating from an unpublished dataset. It would be better to remove this section entirely.
>??? Peri where did you even find data on secunit dust signatures??
>Peri where did you get the data.Or; what it means to have a soul as a horrifying murderbot, even if it's really really inconvenient.

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.

Summary
If you want to pass as human, I can build a specialized drone for you that will mimic the appearance of a daemon from a distance. With time, it may even collect enough dust from you to become something akin to a true construct animus.

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
- or -
Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
