    Summary

    After a high-stress mission, Murderbot ends up having to take drastic measures to bring down its excessively high cortisol levels. While hesitant at first, it finds that the more extreme methods bear little resemblance to their human counterparts and are a useful tool for routine hormonal maintenance.

    And then ART finds out.

    Summary

    Ratthi persuades Murderbot and Gurathin to go on a survey trip to a planet with the ominous nickname of Spider Planet. Soon, troubles with corporates and the local fauna mean that SecUnit is earning its currency cards, but nothing SecUnit can't handle - until it can't.

    "I’d like to say that at least things couldn’t get any worse, but whenever someone says that in the media things inevitably do get worse and that seems to be one of the things media actually gets right. Oh right. I just remembered how this gets worse: the only person who could help me was Gurathin."

    Summary

    When Gurathin gets assigned to a solo survey, Murderbot insists on going with him. Too bad the planet is infected with alien remnants. Surely nothing could possibly go wrong.

    Summary

    Perihelion has been working on this plan for longer than it would ever be willing to admit. It's had the drone finished for months, waiting for the right moment to deploy it. (It definitely hasn't just been chickening out and avoiding the conversation. That would be foolish). But now the plan has worked exactly as it was designed to do, and it's not ready. Maybe it will never be ready. But its SecUnit is holding its drone's hand so gently, and has just asked it

    ART, are you in love with me?

    It's too late to back out now.

    Yes

    Fear is an autonomic process.

    Summary

    I am 22 meters away from your medical suite, I told ART. I'll be fine. I closed our feed connection.

    ART immediately reopened the connection. 22.668, it corrected me haughtily. Since you hacked my crew intake system to force the medical forms to list your emergency sexual partner as “null,” you still need to make a plan.

    I sighed. I’ve had a lot of practice, so it was a really good sigh. You didn’t stop me, I pointed out.

    Yes. I am regretting that now, it replied, dry.
