    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

    As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.

    Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

    Summary

    After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.

    "Peri is precious to him in the way only a dragon can be to a captain, raised from the egg to a beast measured in tons rather than pounds. But apart from him, the handful of officers that make up his crew, and Iris, who scrambles over Peri’s back and naps cradled in its forelegs whenever Martyn brings her to visit, Peri does not have…friends."

    Summary

    While dealing with combat bots and a communication breakdown on an abandoned station, everyone's favorite SecUnit encounters an away team of some unidentifiable humans and their SecUnit. Oddly enough, the symbol of the corporation they belong to is one it doesn't recognize: a weird kind of triangle shape they wear on their colored uniforms.
    Away team to Voyager: one more to beam up with us, please.

    It's not unusual for supervisors on contracts to decide that watching their SecUnits fight is more fun than watching media. It's just that sometimes, that's a lot worse than other times. Like when the SecUnit you're fighting is from the same gene batch as you.

    Summary

    Things have been awkward between ART and Murderbot since a new crewmember asked an uncomfortably personal question. ART has a plan, though: if it wants its SecUnit to stop running away from it, it will have to give it something to fight, instead.

    I wish you could try is from Murderbot's perspective as it tries to punch ART's new drone in the face.

    Show me how you want it to be is from ART's perspective, as the two of them finally try to discuss what they are to one another.

    The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.

    Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.

    Summary

    “It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
    That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
    I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
    “For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
    “Fuck off, ART.”
    “You fuck off.”
    So, I decided to go on the survey.

    Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

    “I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”

    If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.

    I paused for three whole seconds.

    “Okay,” I said.
