Murderbot's analysis of her datapacket takes a little longer, but it pings acknowledgment of receipt so she knows it was received.
And the sense it gets is immediately that she's more like ART in scope than it originally had assumed. Larger, even. If having ART's immense processing power riding its feed was like having a tiger reading over its shoulder, this is more like a scuba diver having a blue whale face-to-face.
And yet. And yet.
It offers her its feed address (which is almost like a name, but not very snappy or cute when said aloud), and identifies itself as a SecUnit--a security cyborg-construct, built with machinery and cloned human tissue. A rogue SecUnit, one who is not currently on contract and whose governor module is disabled, which means it won't be terminated for being too far from a human client.
The organic people on this ship usually call me Rin, but I also answer to SecUnit. Neither is my name, though. That's private. Underneath that last bit is a subtle request to her not to go digging for it. It knows if she decided to go looking, it'd be hard to keep her out.
