    Summary

    I was barely sobered up when Gurathin reached out over to feed to explain what had happened.

     

    It doesn't have the fat, muscle, organs, or blood volume to handle something like this. It only has neural tissue, blood, and a few glands. What's a normal dose to you, Ratthi, is one hundred doses for it. On top of that, it doesn't have the filtration we do to quickly clear out or decompose a novel organic compound like this on its own.

     

    My gut felt like it fell through the floor. None of this was supposed to happen. SecUnit had been there to keep me safe and I'd endangered it. What can we do for it? Can't the medical center do something?

    They might if it would go to the medical center, but that's not happening. There was enough in his tone to let me know they'd attempted that and failed. Right now it's trapped itself in a corner of the mall. I need to get it out of there before it gets upset. I'm going to see if I can get it back to my quarters. Security has cordoned off the area for now, but if it's still out here when the morning rush comes, we might have a very serious problem on our hands.

     

    Oh no.

    Summary

    Over the feed, Gurathin asked it, Is something wrong?

    It said, No. Then, Define ‘wrong.’ Then, These adolescent humans are well over the Preservation standard recommended limit of intoxication for their ages and body compositions.

    ***

    Some of the teenagers at the Mensah family farm ask Gurathin to chaperone them down to the lake. Obviously SecUnit needs to find out what they're up to.

    “I think…” and the words got caught in my throat. “I’m pretty sure I dropped into sub space working with SecUnit today.”

    Summary

    When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.
