[ Yeah, but someone who has been treated their whole life (and it's life, Murderbot is alive. If it's not, then Victor isn't, either.) like a tool, of course it would see this as a way to defend itself. ]
I understand.
[ I understand why you would say that. I understand what I have to do, if I must. ]
[There's a tiny moment of indecision where Murderbot wonders if it should reassure Vic that it knows he could defend himself without a drone, but his tone doesn't seem annoyed or bothered, so it's probably fine.]
It's good to have options.
[Especially when it comes to defending yourself. Murderbot doesn't think Vic is the type to hurt people for the sake of hurting them.]
Thank you for the information. [Since it never actually said thank you.] It will help me integrate with the humans.
[In an ideal world, it would just stand in a corner and not talk to them, but that won't make the missions any easier, so Murderbot has resigned itself to being mildly social.]

I have my own means, but this is good to know.
