the whole "it would be kinder to kill them" exchange re-contextualizes murderbot's initial willingness-- even eagerness-- to kill other SecUnits in an interesting way, doesn't it.
#murderbot diaries#system collapse#the murderbot diaries#system collapse spoilers#murderbot spoilers#i still think a big component is that it's internalized the idea that secunits are dangerous#and that their lives are of less value than human life#but it's also like... even after it hacked its governor module it spent what. three years still working for the company?#because the idea that it could be anything but a slave who would eventually die in violence was so inconceivable#even as boundary-breaking as it is murderbot is still coming to grips with the idea that it can change the way things are#even for individuals#that killing other secunits probably feels like the only feasible way to end their suffering#even if its better judgement has always been vaguely aware there are other options#its instincts are still coming along
