    Summary

    If Jean and Diluc had been told that they'd be spending the summer unravelling a secret deep within their small university town, they would have shaken their heads crisply and said no, thank you. Unfortunately, a chance encounter at the pub with a boy who lives in an abandoned castle soon leads them on a wild adventure to uncover the secrets behind the castle and the possible cryptid named Venti.

    Or: A castle, a conundrum, and a crew of undergraduates trying to figure out the walking mystery that is their newest drinking buddy.

    Summary

    While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.
    - - -
    People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?

    Summary

    What makes a person a person? Simple: if they have a daemon.

    That's a very convenient rubric, considering that bots don't have daemons. And neither do constructs, of course.

    Summary

    Dr. Pranjal Ratthi has written papers on mutualism, symbiotic relationships where all species involved benefit from their interactions. It turns out that applying theory into practice with human-AI dynamics is a little more complicated than he might have anticipated. But worth it, in the end.

    [Network Effect, from Ratthi's perspective.]

    Or: top four pranks that went too far.
