Murderbot has been here long enough to encounter magic—to encounter it enough times that the mention of ghosts outside a serial doesn't throw an operating error. The mention still requires a moment (about 0.15 seconds) of looking out across the water before it can handle that yes this is a regular conversation. This is its life. This is like Ratthi talking about microbes or Thiago about language structure.
"How safe is that?" Murderbot asks. A quick and dirty query of its media suggests 'not.' That said, if it were fine, it wouldn't make as entertaining of a story. It doesn't expect serials to be accurate about anyone else's stuff when SecUnits aren't, and its universe has SecUnits.
