[ It sees the moment Penny Polendina backtracks, and Murderbot experiences another horrible sensation of something in its chest dropping out. There aren't even enough organic bits in there for that to make sense.
Android is an imprecise word; some systems use it for human-form bots, not just bot-human constructs. With an attitude like this, Penny Polendina can't be from anywhere touched by the Corporation Rim. It... must be from somewhere like Preservation, where "free bots" are a thing. They must be somewhere like that now, which explains why there's no planetary feed; worlds with decent tech and worlds that let their bots roam around unsupervised don't tend to overlap.
Emotions are still happening to it, and it kind of wants to go find a quiet corner to watch media in. But— okay, it's stupid, but maybe it owes something to Miki. Maybe it should at least half-ass an attempt to not be an asshole, here. Maybe.
Still, it needs to know. ]
You don't have a human 'guardian'?
[ The quotation marks are audible, because what it means is owner. ]
