    Summary

    “The snow melts in Jamrock,” Harry says solemnly. The snow melts over the motorway that loops above the ghetto, and below its concrete columns, there is a sea of four-story buildings as far as the rain can fall.

     

    “How do you do that, detective?” Kim asks.

     

    “You mean the whole, feeling the city thing? I have voices in my head that tell me stuff."

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.

    Summary

    Barin was nearly entirely sure this hostel wasn't supposed to be here.

    It won't be the last unexpected appearance of the night.
