This probably sounds obvious, but I learned today that prisoners aren't protected by OSHA regulations, and that this is another reason why employers are so eager to utilize this modern slavery. It's only a couple cents an hour, less transportation costs than the overseas sweatshops, and if you want people to work with hazardous materials without proper training? That's fine too! Prison labor is the ultimate free market solution!

With Three and the potential for more SecUnit characters, I think we are all excited for ones with very different quirks and interests than our Murderbot.

My thought: SecUnits don't have a digestive track, but they have a sense of smell, and it is unclear if they have taste buds. I would propose they likely do, because their mouths seems to be organic (although I have some questions about how that works in regards to saliva. I have many questions about how secunits work but I respect Martha Wells' decision not to tell us) and I can't think of a reason to reduce the ability to taste.

My idea: a SecUnit who is a foodie. It gets really into the TASTE of food. It either licks the food or chews it and spits it out. It gets really excited to try new restaurants with friends and never acknowledges the weirdness of how it interacts with food.

I just imagine the horror and amusement on the faces of its dining companions as it just excitedly licks a very nice steak or something.

Matt Burnett is genuinely asking the SU fandom to avoid hunting for spoilers for weeks 3 and 4 of Summer of Steven.

This must be something incredibly groundbreaking for him to do so, and I for one intend to keep myself in the dark to savor the surprise!
