Summary
I believe you and I could interface as you did with the afflicted gunship. Without overwhelming either of our processing capacity, it added. If you were interested.
I might be, I said. // Murderbot and ART integrate their systems. It's definitely not sex. They'd both definitely know if it was sex, and it's not.

Summary
Murderbot hasn't endured weapons maintenance since before it met its crew. (It hadn't really planned on re-living the pain of weapons maintenance ever again, if it was being honest.)
But when ART notices an issue with one of Murderbot's energy weapons, it offers its services. You know, mutual administrative assistant things.
ART's approach is a little different than the company's.

Summary
Let’s start with the good part.
I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.
