i think something that people forget when they blindly cheer on Three handing out the code to break the GovMod, is that there is a responsibility owed to those freed units. Three is not mature enough in its development to have a plan, or to fully understand what might happen to those units once freed.
The freed unit we meet in Platform Decay has no real context for anything other than MB’s log. It has no support and is so obviously a rogue SecUnit that it’s miraculous it wasn’t killed (honestly, the only reason it wasn’t killed was because it ran into MB)! Three didn’t even think to include the helpful additional codes MB gives the unit as a parting gift.
The fact of the matter is that despite having biases, I think Murderbot is very thoughtful and realistic about what’s possible. It feels very deeply for the units it encounters (hence why it has offered in the past). It doesn’t want these units harmed!
Not to mention the fact it strikes me as a bad thing for corporates to get their hands on a unit with a jailbroken GovMod.
I just think this is a more nuanced conversation than “Comrade Three the Revolutionary” and Murderbot “internalized biases” SecUnit. Three is really early on in its development. way earlier than when we met MB back in All Systems Red. I think it’s important to consider that immaturity
