Summary
Self-indulgent vampire AU. Why does Gurathin keep staring at Murderbot? And why does he look hungry?
Set generically on Preservation Station, no spoilers past Exit Strategy as far as I can tell.

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
"I don’t know what’s wrong. I just feel… itchy, I guess? Not literally, but I feel like I’m going to crawl out of my skin if I don’t move. It’s just a weird SecUnit thing. I’m sure it’s just an organic instinct clashing with an organic process or something. It’s not like we go through much troubleshooting past the point of ‘able to competently perform our duties’."

Summary
Now armed with something to contain Gurathin's leaking fluids, I enter the lab. He accepts the proffered facial tissues with a grateful look, and then proceeds to make a series of somehow even more disgusting noises as he expels his (copious) mucus into sheet after sheet of the thin paper. When he's finally finished, a small mountain of wadded up tissue sits in the bottom of the recycling bin. I discharge one of my energy weapons to incinerate it as a biohazard.
“Woah! Okay, I'm not sure that was entirely necessary…”
“You're sick, Gurathin. Return to your quarters and stop spreading your contaminants across the station.”
–––
Gurathin has a cold. MurderBot is very bravely overcoming the gross, human, fluid-related ick to care for him, while also trying to figure out why it wants to do that in the first place. Emotions ensue (to everyone's great concern / displeasure).

Summary
“Perhaps constructs are immune,” Three said and I felt a ripple of fear through my organics. I had said similar to 2.0 right before finding out I was ‘in network'.
“ART, initiate quarantine protocol,” I said. I hoped it was not too late. I suspected it definitely was.

Summary
The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.
"Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
"It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.
---
Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.
On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
[:)](If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)
