Strip — art by Three

[youremysunshine8]

Secunit, talking to Three: ok, now if you want to pass as an augmented human you're gonna need to get surgery. Personally ART removed some length from my limbs, but it had some more extreme options available as well-

Iris: Wait rewind. ART did surgery on you?

Secunit: yes

ART: Yes

Three: it was obvious someone did surgery on it, look how off model it is

(to humans, Three and Secunit look identical in body shape)

Ratthi: I kind of assumed you'd just grown out your hair

Seth: ART doesn't have the permits to do that kind of surgery

ART: it was consensual

Secunit: don't say it like that

Iris: what were the more extreme options????

Secunit: I'm not having this conversation. ART, you handle this. Don't be a freak.

I love that for all Murderbot's complaints about the company not investing in SecUnit education, it thinks Three is the weird one for immediately trying to absorb as much educational content as it can instead of watching soap operas

I’m just so struck by SecUnit range. you have them moving so fast it’s imperceptible, you have them accidentally breaking wrists in a fight, you have them so heavy they might break the mobility aid a person is using to pull at them (unless one chooses to go with the people who are pulling it)

and then MB will talk about the fine sensations of its fingers and palms. you have it marveling at how delicate child bones are and scooping humans up (whether they’re old or young) and holding their hands and just being so gentle and precise…

like what a range! no wonder you have to hold a construct together with neural tissue!

like MB processes some things so fast but emotions so slowly…

and then there’s the plasticity! like MB having to ride along with Three because Three’s processing speeds are slower… like i do keep coming back to development wrt constructs
