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
ART wants me to punch it in the face? It made itself an entire human-form drone so I can punch it in the face? Why?
You want me to punch you in the face. I don’t say it as a question, but it’s a question.
No, you want to punch me in the face. It sounds… happy? Proud of itself? Risk assessment spikes a little higher. I’m just offering you a chance to try. That is, if you think you can manage it.
Hell yeah, I think I can manage it.

Summary
Whatever wild, crazy power surge took out ART's systems and my inorganics also apparently started a countdown for ART's self destruct sequence. Great.
Couldn't wait to drag my sorry ass to save both of our lives, though I had no idea how, and kick starting a ship like ART would probably kill me. Unless, you know, we blew up first.Bookmarked by Rubitto

Summary
What the hell are you–
My voice cut off as ART drone jerked my hands upward and all but smacked me in the face with them.
It pressed them down over my eyes.
I said, This is not happening.
It said, It is.
Then it flung back my hands with the arm extensions and screeched through its vocal box.
“PEEK-A-BOO!”Murderbot doesn’t have a module for dealing with its own problems, let alone the problems of a human infant. Somehow it's ended up with the task of taking care of one anyway and ART's stupid ideas aren't helping.
Things that are going well: It hasn’t been dropped on its face yet.Bookmarked by Rubitto

I said, Three, what exactly is going on?
Three didn’t respond for 2 whole seconds, and when it did it sounded embarrassed. Dr. Bharadwaj suggested that an emergency drill might help with our boredom.

Summary
Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?
I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.
So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

nothing to see here, just two deeply traumatized living weapons inventing new forms of weird physical intimacy in order to inflict tenderness on each other

Or: the author was carving a pumpkin and thought "Hey, what if my faves did this for some reason" and here we are. Just a slice of life fic featuring pumpkins, subpar media, and emotions that can be dealt with later.

Summary
“I just barely got your humans trained. Now I’m going to have to start all over again...”
The Perihelion has been conscripted to provide transportation for a Pan-System University of Mihara and New Tideland Xenoarchaeology Department exoarchaeology survey of a long-abandoned space station, and Murderbot is tagging along for the ride. Though it just really wants to be left to watch its media in peace, it may not have any choice but to try and answer questions like 'What happened to the original colonists who disappeared without a trace?' and 'What really happened two the two PSUMNT researchers who were lost on the last expedition?'
Also... alien ghosts aren't real... are they?
