I have a few questions about SecUnit biology in The Murderbot Diaries. So we all know that Murderbot doesn't need to eat or drink and that it recharges or goes into stasis instead of actually sleeping, and that it has some organic human tissue. But what kind of organs does it have? In the beginning of All Systems Red when Dr. Mensah visited Murderbot in its cubicle, it thought about how one of its organs might "fall off and plop on the floor." I assumed it was talking about a kidney or something in the digestive tract, but I'm not sure if Murderbot needs or has those organs.
A second question: does Murderbot have saliva? I don't know if saliva is necessary for speech or not. If Murderbot does have saliva, does it have to brush its teeth? Does it ever get bad breath?
Third question: Does Murderbot sweat? It's mentioned showering in Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy. After ART did surgery on it in Artificial Condition, it took a shower and said that it smelled like a clean human and how that was odd. If Murderbot does sweat, how does it get the water and electrolytes back without eating or drinking? Are they replenished during its recharge cycle?
So those are my questions about Murderbot's (and by extent other SecUnits') biology. My apologies if these questions have already been discussed a lot though!
