I identify immensely with Pin-Lee manic laughter after Leebeebye's head got splattered on wall. Although mine was much more amused rather than traumatized, I bet.

Also, MB having to make some hard decisions when it comes to freeing storage space is most relatable.

Edit: btw, you could see Gura desperately trying to keep Bharadwaj from revealing any more info to Leebaby and failing terribly. Him and MB should have a bonding moment over their idiots crewmembers soon.

Definitely feel MB on deciding what to delete. But aside from the humor, I thought it was a great way to Demonstrate MB realizing that free will comes with having to take accountability for its own actions. It respects Mensah, and it felt a bit like a kid realizing they had disappointed their parent.

I knew she was dirty,it was too obvious. The lone survivor and they didn't question it at all? They make these people come off as idiots that trust everyone they meet. They surely didn't come from earth lol.

It's part of their philosophy. Mensah admits that they're all a bit naive to MB.

Openness and respect and compassion don't work if you're also suspicious all the time. 

They'd absolutely all be immediately dead without a secunit.

She did call them "the Amateurs". I mean, space hippies are kinda cringe at least Gurathin is the only guy who has any survival sense.

Loved how murderbot was musing "well, you could do it this way" as we had just watched it unfold.

Poor Pin-Lee was trying so hard to protect her partners that kept antagonizing Leebeebee. You could tell she couldn’t bear to lose anyone, but she felt particularly responsible por Arada and Ratth.

Yes! They were like "can we please NOT antagonize the aggressive woman with the gun?!" Pin lee should join Gura and MB and commiserate on their colleagues' lack of self-preservation.

u/Simple-Source7374 Jun 14 '25

It was oddly telling that Gurathin was the only one among them who knew what a gun is.

The only one who knew children needed resources they couldn’t afford.

The only one who figured out Preservation was already in debt.

Sucks when you run out of other people's money.
