Yes. That. The large mammal in the room and impossible to ignore. Honestly, it's strange being the one less likely to get stared at.
Murderbot did not think there is a fun way. It has questions. More question. "Heard that term before. Who or what are the Pthumerians? How did you get on their shit list?" It doesn't bother asking how to avoid the shit list. This person clearly doesn't have that answer.
It listens to the continued horrific descriptions of humanity/society/this fucking planet it is stuck on. There isn't even a dock (a real one, for spaceships, not the thing for boats on the ocean). There isn't even a consistent surveillance system it can detect. That one part of the city is weird, but Murderbot didn't get any response to its ping.
"Humanity where I'm from is a little less stupid than I gave it credit for," Murderbot admits. "It isn't doing that nonsense. People with power use other means. That encourages a larger work force to exploit." No, Preservation Aux isn't like that, but it split off only a couple generations ago from the Corporation Rim. Plus, they're their own kind of stupid.
