Summary
They missed something.
Ok, that was a start. “How do you know?”
I do not. But do you really trust humans to take care of their own security?
Of course I didn’t, and ART knew that, but I wouldn’t be giving it the satisfaction of agreeing out loud.
…Amena Mensah has begun a course at this planetary site as of 37 cycles ago.
My performance reliability dropped 3 percent.
“ART, you could have led with that.”

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

Summary
Between the mission failure, the mutiny, being shot and a narrow escape led by the weirdest people she's ever met, Leonide has had A DAY.
Finally back in the safety of her quarters, she just wants to relax with a drink (or three) and try and make some sense of what she's just seen and experienced.
Unbeknownst to her, the freshly rogue SecUnit assigned to guard her is also having a day.
The Corporation Rim may never be the same.

Summary
On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.
“You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.
“How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.
“Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”
Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

Tags
Summary
Gurathin is aware of how exhausting it is being a person. Here's to hoping less code, a praise kink a mile wide, and physical pleasure do the trick.
(For New Tideland's Murderathin Wanksgiving. Emphasis on Tide.)

Summary
I guess the self-loathing delayed my client protection instincts by a quarter second or so (yeah, definitely no problems with making your security device able to get so mad at itself that it forgets to do its job) because I didn't manage to instinctively tackle Three before it tackled me.
Then the roof caved in.

Summary
Amena had… talked to the grey people. And some corporates too. That wasn't nothing, she supposed. She'd kept calm despite the threats and the implants and the infection and the electrocution. She'd seen SecUnit put its hand through—
It was like she was there and it was happening again. Then she was back in the bunkroom and blinking hard, her heart hammering. She gasped in one big breath and then held it, knowing that if she didn't then the next one and the next one would both be noisy and out of control. But she held it and kept a grip on herself until she could release the air, slowly, and inhale normally.
Mostly normally.
As everybody prepares to go home from the Worst Survey Ever, Amena struggles to feel normal again. As long as she focuses on making sure Three is okay, though, she can manage. Sort of.

Summary
As a murderbot I'm used to dealing with problems that can be solved by hacking or fighting. Other problems, I'm not so good with. So when PSUMNT decided not to renew my employment contract, that was— I didn't want to think about it. I just didn't want to leave. So when ART first proposed that it just hide me somewhere aboard it, I jumped in without thinking. That might have been a mistake.
