Amena, a second-year student at PSUMNT trying to get into the highly competitive Perihelion workstudy program: Sooooooo, any chance family of crewmembers get preferential placement? Yeah, the Perihelion's security consultant is my. Uh.

Amena, realising she doesn't want to try to explain Secunit to the Dean of Students: The security consultant is my Third Mom.

In theory this will turn into a full comic but I got...distracted lmao

Beats doing a full character design lineup tho. Farai, Nana, Secunit, and Sofi left to right.

i feel like MB mentioning how weird and inhuman its feet are makes up like. 60% of the extremely few times it describes itself. and thus: Really Weird SecUnit Feet Propaganda

previous murderbot books spent a lot of time in the corporation rim, but i think this is the first one that concentrated on showing the regular civilians living there. the corporations are greedy, malevolent beasts looking only for profit, but platform decay is filled with the examples of people in the corporation rim helping others with no benefit to themselves. humans fleeing from a rogue secunit shuffling together into transport and warning everyone inside not to get out. multiple occurrences of people offering nanna a seat in the middle of an active emergency or letting her pass with her mobility device. they organized a local militia to keep transit zones safe from corporate infighting. when BE attacked the ship, adults hiding in the tunnels and stairways ferried all the children over their heads to move them further into the shelter. workers at the boat stopped checking tickets and ushered passengers onto the safety of the boat without making sure they paid for transport (think of the lost profit!).

yes, it's terrible there and lives are difficult, but humans are being human, and helping each other when they can.
