    Summary

    Mandalorians had this odd sense of humour where they liked watching strangers get teary eyed from eating the spiciest dishes.

    “Familiar with pirpaak ?”

    “Not this particular one, but familiar enough to know what to expect.” Ben replied.

    Food was an important part of Mandalorian culture. Aliite tended to have conflict over whose dish was the better recipe. It was like Jedi and their tea blends.

    “Where did you have it?”

    “Sundari.” Ben replied, “It was a lifetime ago.”

    “Ughh, Sundari’s drap? What’s the name of the place?”

    “I am unsure, though it might have been a bit spicier than this one.” Ben hid a smile at the outrage that followed his claim by taking another bite. Pretending not to notice the chaos he had caused, Ben glanced at the Mand’alor who was watching him in amusement.

    “Ever visited Keldabe?”

    Ben hid a laugh. “Only ran through it, really.”

    “What a shame. I will show you around.” Jaster offered.

    Ben smiled, “I would not say no to that.”

    In which Ben Kenobi realises that it was only fair if the Sith actually had a player sitting on the opposite side of the invisible chessboard they had created.

    Summary

    Something felt wrong while I was waking up, but it took a while before I booted up enough to remember what it was.

    And, when I did, I jerked in my restraints. Which I had now, apparently. Joy.

    So, to summarize: The company’s crappy equipment fell apart mid-transport, unlocking my cubicle. I couldn’t fall into stasis again, so I spent the time watching media, which someone somehow noticed. A young human came to investigate and had enough information to know I was rogue. I panicked.

    And now I was tied up somewhere.

    This was shaping up to be a great contract (that was sarcasm).

    Summary

    Murderbot doesn't have a soul, ergo, it shouldn't have to worry about soul bonds. Unfortunately for it, that isn't the case. Clients who are soulbonded are liabilities, as their emotional states are in flux as they feel their bonded partner's feelings.

    And then it meets ART.

    Summary

    Seth was not satisfied with ART's explanation that the whole incident was “voluntary security training” (correct), “a learning experience for all of us” (ugh), or “possibly a form of bonding between SecUnits” (double ugh). So now Three and I had to have a meeting with Seth, Karime, and ART, plus Iris, who was sitting in to "listen and learn." I could have asked Mensah to talk her way in as an expert mediator or something, but let’s be real, I’m not going to do that.

    (No, Mensah hadn't joined ART's crew. We were on our way back to Mihira, and she and her second-eldest had come along to visit Amena, who was studying at PSUMNT. Well, that's what she'd said. Clearly, they were also visiting me.)

    (This was not really a great time to get in trouble for shooting someone, is what I’m saying.)
