Alternatively, you can try using "[redacted]" to stand in for any mention of the things you don't want to explain (but if you do that for long enough, it'll probably become inconvenient enough that you give in and explain them anyway)

they should invent venting but without having to explain all the bad things that are happening

I really like how System Collapse does bot language. Like the use of code/variables for bots to ask each other about things, and Murderbot explaining what it would mean in plain language. I find it very neat from a world-building perspective and as someone who likes programming.

System Collapse is great so far.

I know they’re the same, it’s all just Peri. That the drone will be repaired and the next time we need it, it’ll be the same. But still, when something happens like this, it scares me. I just don’t want to lose any piece of Peri, you know?

I know, I said. And I did know, and now I was having an emotion.

From System Collapse, Chapter 11.

murderbot is peak queer rep because it’s about living as an inherently transgressive form of being, it’s about the complexity of passing, or the complexity of hiding, or the nuance of never fitting binaries and not wanting to even when fitting those binaries is seen as “better”, and it’s about making people uncomfortable just by existing, it’s about measuring forms of freedom and having to decide which you’ll save and which you’ll sacrifice. but most importantly it’s peak queer rep because murderbot is free for like five minutes and it immediately attracts the nearest supposedly-rare transgressive-illegal-superbot (ART) in a hundred light year radius to be its best friend, and what’s that if not your classic Queer On Queer Magnetism

SYSTEM COLLAPSE!!!!!!!

I finished System Collapse and this is all I can offer at this time

I'm sorry ART-drone and Murderbot, I'm sure your movie was great, but all I could think of during that scene was a shitty last minute power point presentation.
