I could probably deal with that, at least for a little while. My humans knew me. They would let me sit in a corner and watch media and talk to people only if I wanted to.

Had my Preservation humans been having this happen to them the whole time? All my humans? My performance reliability took a nosedive that had nothing to do with any external factors this time.

I responded for her. "It is 1.12 hours past the start of the night cycle. Princess Teacup would not know this, as Captain Clock's power cell died, and she turned her feed timer off since princess parties have no time limit."

Summary
SecUnit did something horrible, but its memory of the event was completely wiped. All that’s left is a volatile audio file. If it wants to know what happened, it will have to listen to the file the old-fashioned way—out loud.

Bookmarker's Notes
Do you have a choice? It says; and, wow, that’s totally not a terrifying super AI thing to say
...
Laughing only makes it sound more like you’re going to fry my brain, I inform it, pointlessly.Organic memory doesn’t preserve solid, complete memories. It saves snippets and ideas and feelings. It allows us constructs to have intuition. It was sort of like being haunted by your own brain, I guess.
...
How much was 2.0 me? How much was the memory-wiped me ART'd killed itself for me? Fuck, I can't keep thinking about this. -

The job had been boring.
Sparks and fire trails of pain are still lighting up your spine. The screaming has mostly stopped, the violence, the blood has not. This is how SecUnit's fight, you throw yourselves at each other until there is only one standing.

The tiny bundle is much smaller than Iris was when ART first saw her. (According to ART anyway.) It had one of its smaller drones hovering over the baby’s crib in Iris and Amena’s quarters, even though it could see just fine through its stationary cameras.

Summary
Talking to refugees is not Gurathin’s job, nor was it his idea. If Aylen sends him in and something goes wrong, it’s going to look terrible. And Pin-Lee will absolutely do something about it. But also, this whole situation has been a clusterfuck of people not knowing that a situation or a person or a bot was dangerous until things went terribly wrong, and for all I know the refugees have been waiting for someone like Gurathin to come along so they could hold him hostage.
And that wouldn’t be as bad as GrayCris taking Mensah hostage again, or even as bad as Ratthi or Pin-Lee or Arada or Overse or Bharadwaj or even Volescu being taken hostage by literally anyone. But I still don’t want that to happen. It would look terrible, for one thing, and also Gurathin is one of my humans. I’m done letting people take my humans hostage.
I’m coming with you.
Or: When Aylen struggles to get the BreharWallHan refugees settled, she reaches out to the nearest former refugee (who isn't SecUnit) to get an expert opinion. It goes better than it has a right to, apart from all the crying. (It's fine. Gurathin can deal with the crying.)
