[It's not defensive. (It's really not.) And it could throw the reason it's volunteering itself for this right back in Serph's face, but Jack finding out and being disappointed sounds like a bad idea, and it does kind of want backup in case the wolf tries to throw it around when it no longer has a helmet.]
SecUnit takes a few seconds to respond, but when it does, it's with a full rubric with criteria in five different categories for what constitutes acceptable security in its consideration. It absolutely just made that itself, given it mentions acceptable distances from the Convoy and response times to Moon Warps.
[Okay this time the pause doesn't get Serph a cool chart.]
It can't be that much more disgusting than watching humans consume meals.
[It's not actually that worried about being disgusted, it's worried about having another false memory insertion and being knocked offline by imagining a monster eating its leg again. But if it says that Serph definitely won't want it along.]
[... If Serph was eating members of the Convoy the way Heat threatened to, it would have noticed by now. Threat assessment won't like it, and neither will its human neural tissue. But its human neural tissue is probably broken, which means its opinion doesn't count for much.]
[Mutual eyerolling is a good sign considering how SecUnit's relationships go. It's kind of like arguing with ART, in the way that they do where they both have to point out things to be contrarian and "explore all possibilities" even when they both know what the actual point is.
Usually that's just ART humoring it.]
Yeah, well, we didn't.
I wasn't built with a digestive system. Manual charging is more efficient. And human food is messy and sticky.
Never mind. I'll send over potential defensive strategies.
[No it's not going to confirm whether Jack told Serph about that time he offered it a plate of food and it scrambled away like a human reacting to an insect-like fauna climbing onto them.
In its defense: Human food really is gross. Humans are gross.]

I'm not. Organizing security is my job.
Jack still wants you there anyway.

You'll supervise until we pass inspection?

It's a joke, but it's also definitely not.]

If you will be joining us, what's your tolerance for seeing the consumption of monsters?

The Atma virus demands we devour other demons. Monsters, in this world. Humans find it abhorrent, especially when a monster still has human features.
If we are attacked while guarding Jack, you need to be prepared to witness that.

Some AIs chose death over this existence.

Did Jack say something?

Only that you were interested in helping. Why?
