Company

''“It’s normal to feel conflict. You were part of something for a long time. You hate it, and it was a terrible thing. But it created you, and you were part of it.”'' (Dr. Bharadwaj, Network Effect, Chapter 10)

"The company" is the corporation that created Murderbot, along with countless other bot/human constructs, as part of its business in offering security bonds to customers. Murderbot deliberately never mentions it by name, and edits its own internal records to replace its name with "the company" if anyone else says or writes the name.

The company is based on Port FreeCommerce, within the Corporation Rim.
