Murderbot actually facepalms and groans. Why are humans like this? It's lost much of its willingness to oppose their stupidity, but Murderbot has limits like humans wandering into deep water when they don't know how to swim. "No, no, no," Murderbot repeats.
It moves at optimum human speed (slow for it, it knows), readies itself for physical contact (uuuuuuuuuuugh), and firmly grasps her arm. Standing in the glowing water isn't great, but it's not going to lose this human. They didn't go into the water until it said okay. That makes it its fault if the human then goes and drowns horribly or gets eaten or something.
Its other hand opens flat, palm up, and acts as a landing pad for a small (waterproof) drone. "We can send this," it offers.
