    Summary

    Humans on Preservation stood approximately eighteen centimetres closer to each other when engaging in conversation than humans on the Rim.

    They also sat closer when in friendly settings, often within range of physical contact. Obviously that varied depending on the person. Bharadwaj in particular, seemed to habitually invade the personal space of anyone she considered a friend.

    She hadn't tried to sit on my lap yet, but surely it was only a matter of time. Even the thought of it made my performance reliability drop by 3%.

     

    Or, Murderbot wants to experiment with getting to its humans touching it. It ropes Gurathin in to its experiments.

    Summary

    Astonishingly, I could not find a Murderbot / Baldur's Gate 3 crossover fic on this site. Which means I wound up writing one.
    -------------------
    At least, I assumed it was an augmented human. With no feed tag, I had no data regarding identity, place of origin, augment status, or anything else. It looked too organic to be a bot, although its attire resembled the outfits I’d seen on some Sexbots. It was carrying a sword only 32 cm shorter than itself, which did not seem like something a Sexbot would have.

    Summary

    Dr. Gurathin takes an old-fashioned approach to discouraging Murderbot's ongoing attempts to surveil his private residence on Preservation Station. Murderbot handles the situation with grace and dignity:

    During previous incidents, Dr. Gurathin had messaged me over the feed with his objections, asking that I retrieve the identified drone and not use it to re-infiltrate his personal living space. Luckily, Mensah had bought me two cases of drones, so I was able to use a different one for each new infiltration, adhering to his request.

    This time, he had unexpectedly dropped a container of hot liquid over the drone. It was still functional (a drone that couldn’t handle water would be useless for planetside deployments) but the audio was muted and its visual inputs were restricted to the interior of a First Landing University mug. I could probably push the mug off the furniture surface using the drone’s propulsion system, but I was getting a 99.2% risk assessment that this action would cause mug to break. That had an 84.6% chance of turning this incident from a minor annoyance into a Big Fucking Deal involving meetings and consensus and talking about this, ugh.

    Summary

    SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…
