Summary
Neil’s thoughts short-circuited completely.
“Jason has mentioned before that he’d be open to exploring that sort of dynamic with someone else,” Clive added. “Someone he trusts. Such as yourself.”
Is he asking me to—
“Oh,” Clive said, as if remembering something minor, “you would need to be comfortable with a very bratty submissive.”
Neil swallowed.
“And pain,” Clive continued. “Is that an ethical concern for you, given that you’re a healer? Though, of course, the subject would be requesting it. Actually, now that I think about it, your being a healer makes you particularly well suited.”
Neil felt like he’d just been hit by conversational whiplash.
“Neil?” Clive paused. “Are you all right? I apologize if that was too personal.”
Neil blinked a few times, dragging his thoughts back from places they very much wanted to linger. “Yes. I mean—no. I mean—I just wasn’t expecting that.”
“That’s understandable,” Clive said. “It isn’t a particularly common arrangement. But it works well for us.”
They stood in silence for a moment.
“Would you be interested?” Clive asked again.

In a moment of boldness that comes with competition, Murderbot and Gurathin do things Murderbot never thought it would.

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.
OR
The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.

Aside from my main processing space this is the safest location on my self.
