Murderbot is a pro at making last-minute saves when a situation is bleak. A good quality when it finds itself in need of a plan, when it has to scratch that plan, and when a Combat SecUnit shows up to ruin whatever scrape of hope poor Murderbot still held locked in it's weaponed arms.

Murderbot is not a weapon. Murderbot is not a pet. Murderbot is not a person. So what, exactly, is Murderbot? What does it want, besides more Sanctuary Moon?

Existential crisises are my favorite, especially when Murderbot is the one wondering why.
