MURDERBOT IS BACK! (And it does not appreciate your enthusiasm.) Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good. After volunteering to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realizes that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it does not know. Including human children. Ugh. This may well call for... eye contact! (Emotion check: Oh, for f-) |
