[SecUnit's reaction to the jolt and the grab for the hammer is a careful, deliberate one - it steps back, raising up the hand not currently holding its helmet in a deescalating gesture, standing still for the moment it takes before Jayce relaxes from his startled defensiveness.]
Right.
[Not an apology, but as close as it'll probably get to one. It follows Jayce's staggering path to the front of the vehicle, taking a moment to examine him and reach the conclusion that whatever the fuck is wrong with this human, he might actually be dying of it after all. (Which feels... surprisingly shitty, actually, in a way that Murderbot shoves all the way back down. Dr. Bharadwaj would probably say something about having empathy; well empathy fucking sucks.
To escape thoughts of that, the SecUnit slides in to the other side of the cab. The motorcycle helmet gets clunked down on the dash as "Eden" leans in to examine the console.]
It'll work.
[It'll have to enhance the images some so the details come through despite the ancient quality of the screen, but that's easy. Time to get to work, which involves rolling back one already-tattered sleeve to reveal one forearm, marked with lines and pieces of metal around the energy weapon ports. Then it goes further, peeling back a section of skin to further expose the mechanical components underneath.]
