Barish-Estranza Coup Attempt
In a camera-free room, Barish-Estranza subordinates led by Adelsen attempt to assassinate Supervisor Leonide to enable forcible indenture of the colonists. Murderbot intervenes to protect her and Iris.
Outcome
Murderbot disables attackers and fights hostile SecUnits, hacking them via AdaCol2. Leonide joins the escape; the event exposes corporate internal divisions and escalates to open combat.
