[SecUnit has seen this reaction before, the sudden oh shit on faces of people it's rescued as they realize that they've just been rescued by a Murderbot, and usually that's before they even know it's rogue. Relief turned sour, shifting right back into fear and wariness. If it bothered to search its archives it could probably count on one hand the number of times it's been thanked for doing its job. (Those memories get saved to permanent storage. Not so it can replay them, just so it has them).
Danse stops before pulling the gun on it, but SecUnit makes no effort to close the weapon ports. There might still be raiders around. Also it would like to not get shot. Novel preference for a SecUnit.]
No, I'm playing elaborate mind games because I just love shooting people in the back.
[It fires back with the most deeply sarcastic tone it can muster, doing its very best to convey the unimpressed expression that it's wearing but that's hidden behind its helmet. That alone probably marks it out from the attackers - they've not been particularly... coherent. Then it twitches its attention towards the wrist.]
Usually there's more yelling. [At least.] I can escort you to the medical facilities.
