Is that so?

You believe that do you?

[You're not getting away with that SecUnit.]

[serialskiller]

The last time my body was controlled, I killed fifty-seven human miners. And four ComfortUnits.

That's almost better numbers in one night than the ghosts of the ship managed in what, three weeks?

[makesomedeals]

And how many have you killed when your body wasn't controlled by someone other than you?

The idea behind trust, is that it's in you specifically, not the body itself.

I'd commiserate but I generally get forced into doing paperwork, serving drinks, being a poor excuse for a butler, and a valet. My body count is relatively low when I'm not sentient.

[serialskiller]

I was built to be a murderbot, as much as everyone here wants to pretend I'm a nice tame pet bot.

Also, you WOULD make a really shitty butler.

[makesomedeals]

Extremely doubtful anyone thinks of you as a pet. You said yourself how hard people resisted the idea of you being an appliance, they're not going to subject a different sort of servitude on you.

[ Max may not understand pets. But the sentiment is there anyway. ]

I was an absolutely abysmal butler. I'm surprised I wasn't crushed into a cube at some point.

[serialskiller]

It's not an explicit thing, it's an expectation. But I might be projecting. I was bought by the last survey crew I worked for, with the intent of bringing me home with them to care for.

[makesomedeals]

Did they say that or did they say they wanted to save you? Those are two different scenarios.

[serialskiller]

Within their polity I would be a provisional citizen with a mandated human guardian. That's just an owner with extra steps.

[makesomedeals]

Knowing next to nothing about your world I can already think of dozens of exploitable loopholes you could use to your advantage.

That's what I did. Technically I'm not permitted to own property, being that I am property. But I do own several businesses and shell companies and don't belong to anyone.

It starts somewhere.

[serialskiller]

I did not trust that they'd let me start.

It's irrelevant, now. I'll never see any of them again.

[makesomedeals]

You'll never see those versions again. But anything is possible.

A battle Omnic from my world showed up a few months ago. The only one so far from my reality.

In any case, do let me know should anything start appearing suspicious again. I'd like to stave off any future apologies to people who have lost control of their functionality.

[serialskiller]

Bastion. I let them ride my feed at the diner while I ate a hamburger. New sensory inputs.

And I will make you aware of if I encounter issues of that kind, in the future.
