Chapter Text
When I arrive on Preservation, I can't decide what is more surprising: that Murderbot has been staying on the planet instead of its station apartment, or that it hasn't left yet.
“I thought you'd be looking for it,” I say when I track it down.
It gives me a sullen look. “Why should I? I've seen it dead once already.”
Oh. I shouldn't be surprised by this, either. “You didn't read the investigation report?”
“Uh, no?”
Of course not. Well, maybe it isn't too late. I highlight the relevant section and shove a copy of the report into Murderbot’s feed.
