    Summary

    It’s genuinely very handy being the only endotherm on a planet populated entirely by ectotherms. Except for when it causes misunderstandings. Misunderstandings that could have been easily avoided if someone had simply explained things before they got to this point, Garak.

    Summary

    “Perihelion!” she whispered urgently, “What’s happening to SecUnit?”

    “There is no need to worry, Dr Mensah,” Perihelion replied, “SecUnit has gone into an involuntary stasis sequence.” Its voice was calm and reassuring, though there was some other emotion underneath that Mensah couldn’t quite identify.

    --

    Murderbot is more comfortable around its favourite human than it realizes. Mensah and ART have a lot of emotions about this.

    Summary


    Mensah finished glaring at me and turned around. The crew who had just watched her face down a rogue SecUnit, in person and via the powered armor’s helmet cam, stared wide-eyed.
    —Exit Strategy, Chapter 7

    "Maybe SecUnits always looked that cold and raging when they were about to kill you, and Employee 3422 just hadn't known it because their faces were always hidden by armor when they did. How could the freehold woman stand to look into the eyes of her weapon like that, and know how close to death she must be?"

    The "You need to be calm, to take over a company gunship" scene in Exit Strategy, aka the "Mensah faces down a rogue SecUnit" scene, from the company gunship's crewmember's point of view.

    Dear all,

    I am teaching a first-year geology class and apparently it is a “meme” that geologists lick rocks...
