    Summary

    ART's been doing a lot of research on construct physiology lately, and it's developed a single-minded obsession with a "new procedure" it wants to inflict on Murderbot... whether Murderbot wants it or not.

    Murderbot thinks it's going to die, so it leaves to go die alone. It's humans save it.

    Summary

    Three is late getting back to Preservation, then its social calendar seems to be full all the time.

    Murderbot's disappointed, but it's not like it can just ask Three to spend time with it. Besides, if Three wanted to hang out, it would say so. Right?

    ---

    Or: 5 times Murderbot won't admit it likes spending time with Three, and 1 time it finally gets over itself and does.

    Three and Murderbot are bad at communicating that they want to be friends.

    Summary

    We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.

    We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)

    “I love this bit,” Ratthi said.

    Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.

    “It’s implausible,” I said.

    Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.

    “There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”

    And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.

    OR

    An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

    ART shows Three and MB its systems. Then Three and MB talk about system connection.
