    Summary

    We had been at the base of the collapsed habitat section for approximately three minutes. Approximately, because one of the large, heavy bits of plasteel that had been raining down on us had knocked my system offline for the first minute or so.

    I was pinned beneath a large structural support, which was infuriatingly cliche, and had happened no less than three times in Strife in the Galaxy.

    Performance reliability at 42%.

    Mainly because I couldn’t stand up.

     

    Or, Murderbot and Gurathin trapped in a collapsed building.

    Summary

    I was such an idiot. I’d let myself relax, thinking that getting to Preservation Alliance had changed things for me. But I’d risked leaving for Dr. Mensah’s conference, and now I’d been kidnapped alongside my least favorite human. Damaged goods, called back to the Corporation Rim for repairs.

    Summary

    “Where’s Mu—where’s SecUnit?” He asked. He was trying to break himself of the habit of calling SecUnit by that name. It was private, after all.

    “With ART,” Ratthi said, flinging himself into Gurathin’s arms, hugging him soundly, much to Gurathin’s startlement. He was always so affectionate, more so with time spent apart. “It’ll be back in a few cycles.”

    “Who’s ART?” Gurathin tried to pull away, struggling slightly in the tentacles of Ratthi’s arms. His internal sensors picked up the same details as his human senses, but his augments cataloged them more precisely; the roughness of Ratthi’s stubble, meaning he hadn’t shaved in a few cycles, the shine of his dark eyes, his freshly clean smell.

     

    --

    In which Dr. Gurathin realizes he is not immune from Dr. Ratthi's charms.
