"The humans shared sleeping quarters--the bunks folded down from the walls. Arada and Overse stayed together. Bharadwaj and Volescu. Gurathin and Ratthi. Pin-Lee and Mensah. I had a cubicle. Tight quarters, but I was mostly there for repair and recharge, and when I wasn't in use. They didn't need me every minute of every day, of course, and it would have been...uncomfortable for me to just spend time in their space. The kitchen, their entertainment room, their hydroponics lab. No space for a SecUnit in their daily life."

This is a little bit of a lie, it was eventually invited to those spaces.

"I used to use the SecSystem and watch them, though. Listen to their conversations. Not the most emotional ones, of course. Never Arada and Overse's private moments. But how the survey was going, what discoveries they made. I was...in my own way, I was proud of them. This was a good team, better than any other I'd been leased out by."
