Why is it I lean our protagonist towards female even though we know it's not? Is it the soap opera detail reminding me of a bored housewife who does a job but doesn't care to? I find it interesting that I try and make it an it, but I keep hearing a slightly feminine voice in my head when it/she speaks.

Reeegardless, another fun little trope with our SecUnit. It doesn't know what it wants, but it does want to know why it did an atrocity in the past. Of course, we're going to run into some needy humans who require assistance and what's a Murderbot supposed to do but keep other humans from murdering its humans. I felt a little cyclical here with the trope since we just left one with a similar one but the arc is what we are following and it's conclusion while not what I would call satisfying was illuminating a bit.

Also, the introduction of a transport, Asshole Research Transport (ART), was a pretty good sidekick for a time.

Easy sci-fi reading ahead.
