What if ART was not actually crewless when Murderbot first boarded? What if it just spoofed its crew manifest for funziez when it noticed MB, a rogue SecUnit, walking through the station all alone and obviously in trouble? What if that’s just what it’s like?

Summary
Talking to refugees is not Gurathin’s job, nor was it his idea. If Aylen sends him in and something goes wrong, it’s going to look terrible. And Pin-Lee will absolutely do something about it. But also, this whole situation has been a clusterfuck of people not knowing that a situation or a person or a bot was dangerous until things went terribly wrong, and for all I know the refugees have been waiting for someone like Gurathin to come along so they could hold him hostage.
And that wouldn’t be as bad as GrayCris taking Mensah hostage again, or even as bad as Ratthi or Pin-Lee or Arada or Overse or Bharadwaj or even Volescu being taken hostage by literally anyone. But I still don’t want that to happen. It would look terrible, for one thing, and also Gurathin is one of my humans. I’m done letting people take my humans hostage.
I’m coming with you.
Or: When Aylen struggles to get the BreharWallHan refugees settled, she reaches out to the nearest former refugee (who isn't SecUnit) to get an expert opinion. It goes better than it has a right to, apart from all the crying. (It's fine. Gurathin can deal with the crying.)

Summary
As Planetary Admin, Dr. Mensah occasionally has to take part in maintaining inter-local political relationships - one of those being with Preservation’s educational establishments. Also, she wouldn't exactly wish her youngest on an unwitting chaperone.
Or: Dr. Mensah, a few assorted adult humans, 28 juvenile humans, and a Murderbot go on a field trip.
(It's like no one even CARES that Murderbot hates planets!)
