Hanging Out is a Joint Operation by musicofthespheres

Summary
First Three is late getting back to Preservation, then its social calendar seems to be full all the time.
Murderbot's disappointed, but it's not like it can just ask Three to spend time with it. Besides, if Three wanted to hang out, it would say so. Right?
---
Or: 5 times Murderbot won't admit it likes spending time with Three, and 1 time it finally gets over itself and does.

Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

Summary
When Three's pulmonary system is compromised during a mission, Murderbot lets it borrow one of its lungs. Shenanigans ensue.
We were planning to tell ART about the lung situation right after I took a recharge cycle, I promise. But then one thing led to another and before we knew it we were standing at the airlock, ready to be deployed on our next mission.

Part 1: Protocol Error - M. POV Three, early on in it's freedom. Erotic electrical stimulation.
Part 2: Compliance Function - Secunit 2 and Secunit 3 work around the governer module and their clients with the "baffle them with bullshit" stratagy. POV Secunit 2
Part 3: Resource Misallocation - E. Lead up to sexual assalt by a supervisor, POV Three
Part 4: Failover State - POV Secunit 1, worrying about Three
Part 5: Security Patch - Amena & Three, POV Amena, Trama recovery
Part 6: Manual Reset - E. Murderbot has a planned obsolescence moment, Three has to do some 'platonic' fisting. platonic for Murderbot anyway. Three is obviously very normal about this.
Part 7: S(t)imulation - E. AU where Secunits 1 and 2 survive. Obviously the first thing they do in private is fuck 3 as hard as they can. What better way to assert your personhood to the watching MI? Murderbot is extremely normal about this. POV Three, POV Iris

Summary
SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.
The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

Summary
My performance reliability dropped but the spike of fear upped my reaction time, and my body moved before I consciously realized that it wasn’t going to work.
I swung at TargetContact with my improvised club, but the force I put into the swing made my wrecked knee joint give out, and the blow only grazed it. I hit the floor again, and TargetContact was on top of me.
Turns out, I was right that this was going to be worse. I just had no idea exactly how much worse.
OR
Things go a lot worse for Murderbot at the end of Network Effect before they get better. This changes a good number of things, but maybe not anything that really matters. Like how far the people that love it are willing to go for its sake.

The humans are looking at me, and they are afraid. I am used to humans looking at me and being afraid. It has never bothered me before. I think it does now.
I do not know what to say, so I do not say anything. I turn and follow 1.0.

Summary
It is with great relief that I exit the wormhole into the home space of the Pan System Alliance. Familiar neutrinos brush against my hull, lighting up my sensor array in a comforting way. I immediately receive three pings from members of my cohort who are in range. I return the pings merely to be polite, but ignore any further initiation of conversation. I am really not in the mood to be interrogated about my recent mishap.
