Summary
I should just expect that mining facilities suck. This one especially sucked for me personally because of that Combat SecUnit trying to kill me. Didn't help that it was nuts, too. At least my humans got out, because the statistical, historical chances of a SecUnit taking on a Combat SecUnit are 7%.
The alien remnant wasn't helping, either.

Summary
You were wrong about me, I said. I was running every line of act-like-a-human code I had, even though I hadn’t seen one in at least twenty minutes. I wasn’t sure if that was making my point or making it worse. Back in medical.

Summary
I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.

Summary
We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.
We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)
“I love this bit,” Ratthi said.
Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.
“It’s implausible,” I said.
Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.
“There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”
And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.
OR
An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

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
“You have seen all fictional media with SecUnits,” Three said in a smug voice. “This is from a documentary. It is a fictional recreation, but it is from media that you would have skipped.”
SecUnit didn't respond. Iris was politely looking away from it, but its silence felt intrigued.
“And,” said Three, “it's heroic.”

Summary
I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

Murderbot came to kick ass. It’s really not sure about chewing any bubble gum. A series of vignettes set a few years after System Collapse, when a chewing gum fad sweeps through ART’s latest class of students. ART and MB reap the benefits of trust.

It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.
