I wonder about whether CombatSecUnits are really all that dangerous as MB believes them to be. Not in terms of ability but in terms of being more āevilā and willfully dangerous than regular SecUnits.
A lot of the stuff that MB believes is just not accurate. It also thinks that all rogues are a huge threat. And it repeatedly claims that even non-rogue units are so so dangerous that they canāt even be allowed to be transported in gunships (only maybe in cargo). And while any person with weapons build into their arms will be dangerous to a certain degree, SecUnits do not appear to be this dangerous at all. Not the rogue ones that show up in the stories but likely also not SecUnits in general. It wouldnāt make sense for the companies to continue using them if they regularly killed all the people.
Sure, that one CombatSecUnit in Exit Strategy told MB that all it wants is to kill MB, but Iām not convinced that this actually shows how dangerous CombatSecUnits are. Letās be honest, if in one of the earlier stories, MB encountered a rogue unit, it would have tried to kill it, shoot-first-ask-questions-later-style. It talks like that in All Systems Red, when it initially believes that DeltFall might have been murdered by rogue units. It intends to kill those rogue units and even stresses that this is something that it wants to do.
So this CombatSecUnit on TranRollinHyfa might be in a similar position and it just wants to kill this evil, dangerous, no-good, rogue SecUnit that is making the port unsafe. (Of course, maybe itās just an asshole, that is also possible)
