Murderbot stares at the image of PreservationAux. "You're welcome," it says because it likes being treated like a person. It has an algorithm controlling its breathing, so there are no extra sighs or cues. It misses them all the same. "Just me."

In its whole universe it seems.

It drops the image and pulls back up the scan of the ship, the interior now complete. "This doesn't tell me much, but I can send it to you," it offers. It no longer wants to be wet standing on the beach. It wants to be safe in The Entertainment Feed watching Sanctuary Moon.

"Are you on DeerNet?" it asks, finishing out this social obligation first, one lonely being to another.
