I got upright and carried Tapan out and up the access into the main section. ComfortUnit followed me.

I'm a little obsessed with Artificial Condition and the ComfortUnit. Murderbot not only immediately stops calling it a "sexbot" after Murderbot kills Tlacey, but literally names it too, using "ComfortUnit" as a proper noun. It's interesting that this ComfortUnit changes categories from "sexbot/a comfortunit" to "ComfortUnit/earning a name" in Murderbot's mind the moment it's free of Tlacey, but before Murderbot even disables ComfortUnit's govmod. It's partially the fact that there have been no further ComfortUnit characters and only two mentions of this specific AC ComfortUnit, but the term "sexbot" in place of ComfortUnit doesn't make a return in any of the books after artificial condition. Murderbot very much talks around its feelings regarding ComfortUnit, only mentioning its anger, but you can read between the lines.

It was still struggling to get up and it was just going to hurt itself further. Especially if it made me mad again.

and

[ART] said, I thought you might destroy it. […] I signaled a negative through the feed. It hadn’t had a choice. And I hadn’t broken its governor module for its sake. I did it for the four ComfortUnits at Ganaka Pit who had no orders and no directive to act and had voluntarily walked into the meat grinder to try to save me and everyone else left alive in the installation.

I interpreted its anger as it defaulting to a natural, safe response to a situation its familiar with (a construct under control of humans through its govmod) and a construct in the position it had only recently escaped (scheming to preserve itself, using every resource it can). But to go further, I think you can read Murderbot's anger as an unprocessed response to the fact that ComfortUnit tried to ask for help to escape (Murderbot never did that - it was outed first). Miki served as a contrast to both Murderbot and ComfortUnit; Miki was "pet bot" who was valued as a person, by humans, and not at risk of torture. Miki made an impact because Murderbot saw it's connection to Mensah in Don Abene, and was able to acknowledge the personhood in Miki (eventually). Murderbot struggled with ComfortUnit's personhood because of how similar they were. Edit: Coming back real quick because just like Three, one of the first things we could assume could be asked by ComfortUnit's own volition, even with an active govmod, is if it can help.

ComfortUnit knelt beside me. “Can I help?”

living in iowa is so hilarious because i’m under both a flood watch and a tornado watch. i have to get to higher ground for the flood watch but at the same time i have to get to lower ground for the tornado watch… make it make sense

#guess i have to decide which one i’d rather be killed by #weather #flood watch #tornado #tornado watch #iowa #funny

hnnnnnnng got another storm yesterday 😣 this is the creek just up the street from my house

it's roughly the same depth as the other creek, normally you could stand in it and just be eye level with the banks

it's still draining pretty well when the rain lets up but the water has been rising more and draining slower with each storm that's hit so far and we're due for another one soon

so not quite out of the woods yet 🙁

Flood update: We got about 4-5 feet of water in the lower level but thankfully nothing more than that. It’ll have to be cleaned out and redone but we were able to get everything out. The neighbors all parked their cars in the street so looters couldn’t get through without being seen. We had a barbecue picnic on Sunday with everyone who has been sitting around with us.

Pa canoed Granny to the house yesterday because the water isn’t completely down yet, might take another 2-3 days or so.

Some idiot kids tried to kayak to the end of the street but the current was strong so one of them got swept under and had to be pulled back by the other. That water was freezing, y’all, but I guess that’s how lessons are learned 😂
