I hadn’t expected Balin to be able to smash through that window so fast but wow I was wrong. Falling with the shattered transparent material through the air wall and toward the transit ring floor, I jammed the projectile weapon right up against the undercarriage where Balin’s lower limbs connected and fired over and over again. Then we hit the floor.

Murderbot theory:

  1. Constructs are made of a combination of robotic and organic parts, including neural tissue
  2. The organic parts are cloned human flesh.
  3. Corporations are cheap bastards who wouldn't bother buying a ton of different genetic material, but would definitely copyright the genetic material they use for their own SecUnits. This suggests that:
  4. It is likely that a given corporation's SecUnits are all made from the same cloned material.
  5. Murderbot recognizes that it is a bit odd even as a SecUnit (odd = a nervous wet cat).
  6. The company's SecUnits have a reputation for being unstable and dangerous (even above people's normal fears about SecUnits in generall.

This leads me to conclude that the company exclusively produces SecUnits with the approximate mental health of a neurotic chihuahua, and there are hundreds of them.
