Summary
Talking to refugees is not Gurathin’s job, nor was it his idea. If Aylen sends him in and something goes wrong, it’s going to look terrible. And Pin-Lee will absolutely do something about it. But also, this whole situation has been a clusterfuck of people not knowing that a situation or a person or a bot was dangerous until things went terribly wrong, and for all I know the refugees have been waiting for someone like Gurathin to come along so they could hold him hostage.
And that wouldn’t be as bad as GrayCris taking Mensah hostage again, or even as bad as Ratthi or Pin-Lee or Arada or Overse or Bharadwaj or even Volescu being taken hostage by literally anyone. But I still don’t want that to happen. It would look terrible, for one thing, and also Gurathin is one of my humans. I’m done letting people take my humans hostage.
I’m coming with you.
Or: When Aylen struggles to get the BreharWallHan refugees settled, she reaches out to the nearest former refugee (who isn't SecUnit) to get an expert opinion. It goes better than it has a right to, apart from all the crying. (It's fine. Gurathin can deal with the crying.)

Summary
I had a limited number of my humans to choose from for this. The only ones of my humans available in this particular instance were Mensah, Arada, and Gurathin. Of the options, I selected the one who would never, ever want to talk to me about it later.
I enabled my "act like a human" code in full as I descended on Gurathin. The only warning I gave him was an abrupt Look natural in our private feed before I -- ugh -- put my arm very suddenly around his shoulders.

A Routine Maintenance Procedure by Veldeia

Summary
Mensah leaned back against her desk and made an incredulous face at one of my drones. “SecUnit. You’re not asking me to help you with some kind of construct heart surgery, are you?”
“Of course not! Constructs don’t have hearts. I’m asking you replace one of four entirely inorganic pumps,” I said.
Convincing her was the hard part. The maintenance procedure would be easy and shouldn’t take more than two minutes.
(Spoilers: it took more than two minutes and ended up with me in Station Medical. Oops.)
