    Summary

    I was barely sobered up when Gurathin reached out over to feed to explain what had happened.

     

    It doesn't have the fat, muscle, organs, or blood volume to handle something like this. It only has neural tissue, blood, and a few glands. What's a normal dose to you, Ratthi, is one hundred doses for it. On top of that, it doesn't have the filtration we do to quickly clear out or decompose a novel organic compound like this on its own.

     

    My gut felt like it fell through the floor. None of this was supposed to happen. SecUnit had been there to keep me safe and I'd endangered it. What can we do for it? Can't the medical center do something?

    They might if it would go to the medical center, but that's not happening. There was enough in his tone to let me know they'd attempted that and failed. Right now it's trapped itself in a corner of the mall. I need to get it out of there before it gets upset. I'm going to see if I can get it back to my quarters. Security has cordoned off the area for now, but if it's still out here when the morning rush comes, we might have a very serious problem on our hands.

     

    Oh no.

    Summary

    I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].

    ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.

    I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.

    ---

    Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

    Summary

    Gurathin loans Murderbot his genitals during a medical emergency. It's...not as bad as it could be.

    Noncon warning is for the inherent nature of the trope - these two are being as respectful of each other as they can manage (so, not VERY).

    Summary

    Without a cubicle to reset its endocrine system, Murderbot goes into heat. Gurathin would normally be the last person it would turn to for the kind of help it now needs, but he smells so good.

     

    With him, at least I wasn't at risk of anything emotionally complicated.
