Good evening everyone, specifically my murderbot peeps.
As we know, sometimes MB uses the entirety of its logs as a message for someone (the Mensah letter, helpme.file etc)
Well I was listening to fugitive telemetry again today, (I'm not gonna think about how many times I've listened to this book, but anyways) and this line at the end jumped out at me:
Indah said, “Good to see you in one piece.”
Yeah, whatever. “You read my report?”
“I did.” She added dryly, “I’m glad you documented the whole process. It’s good to have a reminder that we actually didn’t do too badly, except for that one basic wrong assumption.”
The assumption that the perpetrator had entered the transport from inside the station instead of outside, she meant.
Unlike Indah, I wasn’t happy with our performance. Especially since I’d been the one to confuse everything by insisting the surveillance video on the transport dock had been altered. I just said, “I didn’t want anything to be left to the imagination.”
“Probably for the best.” Then Indah sighed, and said, “I wasn’t the one who sent that photo of you to the newsstreams.”
It was unexpected and it made me drop some inputs. I picked them back up again. I didn’t know what to say, because obviously what I should say was I didn’t think it was you except that was absolutely not true, I had been 96 percent sure it was her.
She continued, “I wouldn’t use the newsstreams like that. If we have to fight about Mensah’s security, we’ll fight, but I won’t undermine you. Since we are actually both on the same side.”
Given that it includes a whole section in the book about how it assumes Indah sent its picture to the news feeds as petty revenge, and how much time it spends complaining about how lax they are about Mensah's security... Should we assume that Murderbot sent basically the entirety of Fugitive Telemetry to Indah as its mission report???
Desperately curious to hear people's thoughts about this.
