    Summary

    “Media by a SecUnit for a SecUnit!” she said, and then kicked herself. Had that been too peppy? She didn’t want to deter it by being too enthusiastic.

    Summary

    I thought it would be terrible to be on board ART during one of its teaching trips, but it wasn’t that bad. At least it wasn't that bad once the students got over their urge to stare at the security.

    Summary

    On impulse, Murderbot publishes some of its secret original fiction on a PSUMNT forum. This goes much better than risk assessment expected, and it makes some new friends, discovers things about itself, and forms a heated rivalry with an obnoxious user in the anonymous response thread who, despite vehement protests, comes to be known as the SecUnit Fucker.

    Summary

    “ Maybe I would be less annoyed had it not been brought up a subjective one million times (and an objective two dozen) how it was “nice to have everyone back together” on a “peaceful survey this time”. Ratthi had made sure to comment that for all that the first survey had been a “total nightmare” it was “worth it to have met you SecUnit!” That had given me the same melty feeling in my chest that I’d gotten when Mensah had told me she saw me “as a person just trying to help” back on that first survey together.

    I was trying not to think about that though. Not that, or the way my drones captured Ratthi’s grin when he’d spoken. Or any of the melty and soft feelings my humans gave me sometimes. But especially not Ratthi. Because if I thought about him at all, I’d have to think about his blood on my face.”

    Set in a mix of the Book Universe & the TV Universe, Murderbot and the PresAux crew are on another planetary survey mission. Everything is peaceful until it isn’t and Murderbot gets trapped in a nightmarish Time Loop like something out of one of its serials. Murderbot is hellbent on saving its humans and breaking free of the loop whatever it takes.

    Summary

    “However, I’m not a fan of one of the nicknames Ratthi likes to use. In fact it’s probably my least favorite, “Gugu” just sounds so irredeemably ridiculous. That said, I haven’t asked him to stop even though he would if I asked. I’ve thought about it, but I know it’s meant as a sign of friendship. And I’d suffer a lot more than a ridiculous nickname or two for the sake of the friends I’ve made since I came to Preservation.

    So, in that particular moment, falling without anything to catch me. Ratthi still reaching for me even though it was already too late. His distraught voice still echoing off of the stone around us. I couldn’t help but think—I’d take any number of stupid nicknames over having to hear him scream my name like that ever again.”

    (While on a research expedition with PSUMNT Gurathin trips into a Horror Movie situation when he gets separated from the group. Now he has to try and stay alive until Murderbot can pull off a rescue.)

    Summary

    Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.

     

    Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.

    Summary

    "You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, probably

    If Murderbot ever proves the Force is sentient, it will plot to murder the shit out of the Force.

    So maybe I should’ve noticed I had bullshit magic powers sooner, but in my defense I didn’t think magic was real. Most sane people would insist magic isn’t real.

    Wait, whoops, the ghosts would claim it’s not magic. It’s “the Force” (in case you’re wondering, yes, you can hear the capitalization), and I’m a “Force-sensitive” which means I’m able to manipulate the mysterious, supernatural (but definitely not magical) force that a bunch of old dead monks decided to name the Force. (Not that I’m making fun of their naming sense. It’s apt even if it must’ve gotten confusing sometimes.)

    Summary

    Murderbot doesn't have a soul, ergo, it shouldn't have to worry about soul bonds. Unfortunately for it, that isn't the case. Clients who are soulbonded are liabilities, as their emotional states are in flux as they feel their bonded partner's feelings.

    And then it meets ART.

    Summary

    On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module. Among the equipment failures and attempts on their lives, there is one man who knows suspiciously too much about what is going on. SecUnit has to do what it has to do - protect its clients.

    With GrayCris finally fallen apart for good (hopefully), the researches of PreservationAux and Pansystem University of Mihara and New Tideland conduct on-site research into the alien remnants that GrayCris was so interested in. Murderbot hates this planet, the one on which its humans all almost died before becoming its humans in the first place. But this might be fine, there are only Hostile megafauna and- Nevermind, Gurathin has just lost his memory and has no idea who or what Murderbot is. Just great.

    Summary

    When a terraforming inspection team from The Divarti Cluster is cut off from rescue by a deadly storm, they think the one team member from Preservation is foolish to expect a rescue. Dr. Ratthi knows that his friends will come get them no matter how bad the odds seem.

    Summary

    Martyn smiled at me. “I was going to go yarn shopping with Matteo later. Would you like to come?”

    I perked up a little. I was nearly out of the yarn Perihelion had printed for me. “Yes.”

    Martyn’s smile widened. “Great.”

    Summary

    Murderbot is locked in a cell, and its memories of the recent past have been wiped. The cell in front contains a group of humans that feel familiar.

    With nothing left to do, it thinks about these humans and gives them imaginary lives, because real life doesn't seem to be headed for a happy ending.

    Summary

    It sounds like the beginning of a horror story: I restarted to find myself tied down to a bed on a ship full of dead humans and killer fauna. Still, even though it was an absolute nightmare, it's also the story of how I met my favorite people in the whole universe.

    A very AU take on All Systems Red, fusing it together with the Alien media franchise. Also a fill for the "Chained to a Bed" prompt on my BTHB bingo card.

    “Wayne, you can lie to me, you can lie to Saint Nick, you can even lie to yourself; but you cannot lie to the spirit of Louis Pasteur.”

    Wayne grumbles, moaning tiredly, because of course. What would the father of germ theory think if he heard him making such excuses?

    “In the name of Christmas and the three wise men, we absolutely cannot risk an outbreak. So this is goodbye, brother.” Katy crossed her hands solemnly over her heart. “Good luck in there.”

    Wayne salutes her as she slams the door shut.

    Summary

    After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.

    OR

    The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.
