[The anger is both surprising and not, as Murderbot is starting to realize it shouldn't apply its own assumptions to Victor. He might look like an augmented human, but he's clearly something different. It's possible that where he's from, he could be treated like constructs are.

[Another packet is sent, this one after it met the PresAux team. Mensah and Ratthi, helping carry a very injured Murderbot through the doors of a small shuttle, the same young woman from before attempting to wrestle a weapon away from a human that just shot Murderbot, new contracts with clauses like 'no hugging', Arada and Murderbot in a friendly argument about the plot point of a TV show. Even ART's humans, the way they'd immediately trusted Murderbot once it told them their ship sent it.
Technically speaking, Murderbot is still owned by Mensah, but she's done everything in her power to give it what freedom she can give.]
