    Summary

    I don’t normally pay that much attention to the credits. In general, I tend to care more about the fictional characters than the real humans playing them, but this had caught my attention.
    I mean, it wasn't the first serial that ever put in a SecUnit as a villain instead of a prop. RihaniLane Street had actually made their SecUnit villain sympathetic before it tried to kill everyone. And obviously this fictional SecUnit was going to be a villain, too, because they always were, but that scene was —
    The credits said ‘Made and Produced in GoodNightLander Independent.’
    Oh.

    -
    Or, Murderbot has feelings about finding positive representation.
    Mostly positive.
    Even when humans try, they get SecUnits wrong in media.
    (Not the murder, the murders were justified, but the writers made the fictional SecUnit like cubicles)
    (It’s still pretty positive.)

    Summary

    ART?

    SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.

    It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.

    ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.

    SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.

    This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.

    They installed a governor module on it.

    ---------------------------------

    On a routine cargo run, Barish-Estranza captures and installs a governor module on ART. Can Murderbot find a way to save ART and itself?
