    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Summary

    In this moment, from the second Marissa had told me during that fateful dinner about the Petrova line, the return of the ArcLight probe from Venus, through the whole Petrova task force, Stratts betrayal, the horrific first moments on the Hail Mary. Nearly dying a hundred times both from the planet Adrian and general space travel, my choice of saving Rocky instead of myself, abandoning all hope from ever seeing Earth again. Getting here half starved, working out how to survive a landscape that was inherently inhospitable for me, but right now. It was so fucking worth it.

    The weight receded and I lunged after a breath, only to heave out more sobs, oh god i felt pathetic, and happy and everything. I couldn't talk, I couldn't breathe. All my grief, all my decisions, everything that led to this moment. “We did it Grace,” I heard Rocky, who was still half curled around me, “we saved Erid!”

    They had a future.

    And that meant that it was legitimate and unfaltering hope that Sol would be saved and Earth too. And that made me sob even harder.

    Summary

    The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

    Summary

    “ART,” I managed, voice pitched up just a little. “What are you doing?”

    Part of the touch on my chest slid up to cup my jaw. It was— warm. Gentle? It was weird and unexpected and I scooted away until my lower back hit the couch’s armrest, which obviously did nothing. `My beautiful SecUnit,' ART said, and my breath hitched oddly. It’s the malware, Murderbot, it’s the fucking malware. Keep it together. 'You still haven’t realized what’s happening? You still don’t understand what I’m going to do to you?'
