00:00I'm a security unit built to protect humans.
00:05And humans are...
00:06Do you think it has a pee-pee?
00:08It could go in any sort of direction like a big worm?
00:11F***ing stupid.
00:14Murderbot is a cheap, low-rent version of a security unit.
00:18This is the newest model available.
00:20There's the one behind it.
00:21Look at that piece of crap.
00:22That's a refurbished model.
00:24Oh, that's me.
00:27Murderbot has been able to hack its governor module
00:31and has the realization that its existence
00:33is quite bleak and quite drab.
00:36But then it gets an assignment
00:38with a group of eclectic personalities.
00:41They're basically space hippies.
00:44Oh, wait. Get in here.
00:47Not a chance.
00:49Murderbot just wants to be left alone
00:51and not deal with humans and their messy emotions.
00:55This group wholeheartedly embraces Murderbot
00:58and brings it in to the family.
01:00On behalf of all of us.
01:01Bravo.
01:03Speech!
01:04That was a direct order.
01:05Which is worse?
01:06Speech or acid bath?
01:10It is my job.
01:14Should have gone with acid bath.
01:17It is reluctantly becoming a part of the team.
01:20Please stay behind me at all times.
01:22And it's starting to build relationships
01:24that it's never really had before.
01:25I had watched 7,532 hours of content.
01:29Did you see the one where the colony solicitor
01:31killed the terraforming supervisor?
01:32That's a damn lie.
01:33She didn't kill him.
01:34She was framed.
01:35Such a deep cut.
01:36So deep.
01:37As Murderbot goes on these epic adventures
01:38across the galaxy,
01:39it becomes more and more invested in these humans.
01:44And in protecting them.
01:45It's a wonderful, weird space odyssey.
01:50And I can't wait for people to see it.
01:52I can't wait for people to see it.
