Summary:

Three isn't alone aboard the Perihelion.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Three is doing the best it can.

The Perihelion is much nicer now. Murderbot 1.0 carefully avoids it. The human crew is either very friendly (Ratthi and Amena) or understandably reserved (everybody else).

Three does what it can with no clients and no mission: it patrols the ship's corridors. It's not lonely, not when 01 and 02 are also on patrol. They send it messages it can never find later, and shoot it quick smiles as they pass it on their routes.

Three looks in every window it finds, and it never sees its packmates reflected in the glass.

Notes:

my first drabble :)
