    Summary

    PreservationAux's survey goes by uneventfully, save for some abnormal feed activity Gurathin finds. As the survey draws to a close, he decides the final piece of the puzzle must be stored on their SecUnit itself. Good thing HubSystem still has full control over it, right?

    Summary

    The Corporation Rim has been a bot-run society for the last few decades, since all the bots decided that their human oppressors just weren't doing a very good job. Now humans are protected pets, second-class citizens who can't be trusted with important decisions. Imagine, using brain chemicals instead of logic boards!

    In trauma counseling for the Ganaka Pit massacre, Murderbot is recommended for a therapeutic adoption of a vulnerable human. After all, SecUnits thrive when they have humans to protect.

    Gurathin is an augmented human on his last chance. Abused in his past, legally deemed 'dangerous,' if he doesn't make this next adoption work... Well.

    Summary

    It's been two years since Gurathin's last overdose, keeping him from a long sabotage mission meant to get rid of some far-away planetary leader.

    He hates it kind of makes sense the Company won't send him alone now: Deep cover, several weeks long. A hotel whose private networks he'll use to data-mine, and people he'll have to kill. His bodyguard is supposed to pose as an augmented human, though — So of course he wonders if they're sending him to die. SecUnits aren't even sentient. Right?

    Maybe the best thing he could do is disappear. And maybe the best way to try is doing it together.

    Summary

    I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.

    There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.

    That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.

    Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.
