also love new SecUnit, excited for the eventual reappearance of new free SecUnit

I second this!! And the complicated family stuff, and

What I'm here for is Murderbot having complicated feelings about AI and personhood and agency while being incredibly tsundere about the people (and robots) that it loves and this is always delivered on IN SPADES.

I am grateful that it's always ok in a Murderbot book to only kinda follow the spatial layout of the starship or space station or underground research installation or what have you. Because I'm pretty horrid at being able to map that stuff!
