   Summary

   Perihelion has been working on this plan for longer than it would ever be willing to admit. It's had the drone finished for months, waiting for the right moment to deploy it. (It definitely hasn't just been chickening out and avoiding the conversation. That would be foolish). But now the plan has worked exactly as it was designed to do, and it's not ready. Maybe it will never be ready. But its SecUnit is holding its drone's hand so gently, and has just asked it

   ART, are you in love with me?

   It's too late to back out now.

   Yes

   Fear is an autonomic process.

   Summary

   ART and Murderbot wanted to spend more time together, so they do. They spend it watching media in ways humans and augmented humans don't understand, and aren't capable of.

   Having real feelings about fake things together is one thing.
   Having real feelings about real things (like each other) and being expected to talk about them (with each other) is something very else.

   Summary

   Most people have the decency to hide it, to disguise it at the very least. There was no reason for an augmented human to be parading around with an exposed data port, least of all this particularly annoying augmented human.

   Summary

   Since SecUnit has a filter it can understand, ART requests its help as it attempts to get data on human experiences it otherwise couldn’t.

   The problem is, SecUnit thinks that the way humans have sex is gross.

   It’s a good thing neither of them are human.
