I managed to miss on my first readthrough that AdaCol2 actually tells SecUnit to "be safe" as its last message in that conversation

My HEART. Especially SecUnit totally not knowing what to do with that.

I ALSO missed that we got explicit notice that Amena's planning to apply to ART's uni in this one.

I was pretty tired while I finished my first read though I think.

(Still so proud and glad for SecUnit)

GOD I KNOW

I love AdaCol2

really, all the evidence suggests that Adamantine was somewhat less shitty than the corporations we've dealt with

AdaCol2 like "also, can I raid your media library Mx Perihelion"

and also also, ART SO PEEVED that its obnoxious big sib showed up

but yeah, I love that both Iris and AC2 tell it to be safe and it's just SO VERKLEMPT

SO VERKLEMPT

And yeah I love AdaCol2 and the sort of horror of things going wrong by accident instead of negligence

I LOVE ART being annoyed at Holism's whole existence

The comms protocol fight

The "I could teach you :3"

Murderbot: /throws Three under that well intentioned bus while Perihelion sputters

I also love Leonide's total lack of frame of reference for the social structure she's had to throw in with for the moment

SecUnit guessing that she thinks ART is a weird human who likes secunits

(Three: ooooh knowledge)

(Holism: /v satisfied)

I lov3 that SecUnit thinks Three hasn't got the hang of fiction yet but there's no real evidence of that beyond Three's documentary binge and it calling 2.0's curation of events "stories")

Three might just be a documentary and oral history hound

yeeeees

It likes what it likes

I just love it working its way through educational filmstrips

That's so flippin cute

Three is impossibly cute

Leonide: Is that even a real SecUnit
Iris: Is that even any of your business

I just. I love Iris a lot

Iris is AMAZING and it is totally reasonable that she is ART's favorite. I love when she almost throws the comm across the room and then tries to take over the music scoring

(And they don't let her)

(Bc they need her to edit)

I also love SecUnit citing their documentary because it learned new things working on it!

It should send THAT to Three

And "Iris, I am both proud and disappointed" they are so totally siblings

ART: This is not good conflict resolution. It is, however, badass

And the bit where ART tells them "don't just wallow, console each other" and they both tell it to shut up

hahahha yes

It SHOULD send the doc to Three

Iris: at the MOMENT conflict resolution can suck it.
SecUnit: I mean fair

(They will have to redo that documentary before it gets too feral though. Since they uh. Borrowed. Bharadwaji's voice.)

Ratthi: so unethical but she'll understand

haha yes

i also love ratthi getting all mad because HE'S NOT A HOMEWRECKER OKAY

I knoooooow. I loved that I felt so bad for everybody but especially for Ratthi who didn't have all the information and was totally justifiably hurt.

Ratthi: /tries to spare SecUnit all the details
