    Summary

    "Photon sensing is short-range for navigation? How far Grace see?"

    Grace's brows furrowed as he contemplated.

    "In here? To the wall—about six meters. But outside, or looking out into space? I can see things that are kilometers away. If it's a star, I can see it from light-years away."

    All three Eridians clicked in surprise, the third Eridian—Grace nicknamed them 'Mendel'—wobbling on their stool in surprise.

    "Light-years?!" Rocky chirped, melody rising. "You lie! Explain!"

    OR

    Grace explains what light and colors are.

    Summary

    Seth said sternly, “Perihelion, you need to tell us the truth. We can’t leave the home system until we find out what happened. If you’re hiding something—”

    Peri cut him off. I am not hiding anything.

    Peri might be able to lie astonishingly well to a corporate representative, even impersonate a human over the feed, but it couldn’t lie to Iris. “Yes, you are,” she said.

    Or, the story of how exactly ART told its crew about Murderbot.

    Summary

    If you want to pass as human, I can build a specialized drone for you that will mimic the appearance of a daemon from a distance. With time, it may even collect enough dust from you to become something akin to a true construct animus.
