Summary
The first ping that came in was weak in a wobbly sort of way, like its sender wasn't fully out of the wormhole yet. The next was much clearer and sharper, and this one I bothered to return.
Did you miss me? purred ART.
No, I said. Get out of my system.

Ugh. The discussion of power imbalance. And even if you know someone never would use their power over you, the fact that they are capable of it will never go away

Emotional Context by Clare_Hope
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane - Kate DiCamillo
28 Sep 2025

Summary
One of Mensah's children wants to read aloud to SecUnit from a chapter book. What's the worst that could happen? (It gets so spooked by a stupid old piece of children's media hitting too close to home that it has to run off and have an emotional collapse about it, that's the worst that could happen.)

Summary
I had seen crazier crimes on mining installations full of adult humans who should know better than to piss off their coworkers — a small break-in at a dorm room months ago with nothing stolen was loads better compared to that.
But the security did suck ass here. And things like this could turn very serious, very quickly. Plus, with my luck, it probably would.
» - «
After a break-in at Iris’ room at the university, ART asks SecUnit if it would be willing to act as her security detail while the investigation is underway. This is standard.
The catch, of course, is that the “investigation” is also being handled by ART — and SecUnit by extension, because ART does not know the meaning of “staying out” of things. It doesn’t help either that the culprit is likely one of the many young humans that Iris is friends with, meaning there’s likely stupid social drama involved. Who knew that investigating a crime involved committing a lot of crime? And socializing?

ART’s crew & PreservationAux, who are literally almost all academics and most of which had to struggle through grad school: i can’t believe he would do something like that! that’s insane to try — he’s lucky he didn’t get a worse punishment, i would have been a lot harsher to him.
SecUnit: just be glad this isn’t a corporate espionage plot. or a revenge threat that ended with half the university being blown up because someone stole rations from someone else and they decided everyone else needed to deal with it.
humans: … what?
SecUnit: what?second epilogue:
Tarik and Gurathin: yeah, we’re actually got lucky it wasn’t that.
SecUnit: don’t agree with me on something.

Summary
(I had a bit of a moment there, but I think I deserved it. The governor module, as ever, disagreed and its warning zap had me reviewing the last few seconds of video to formulate a reply before the pain set in.)
“This unit has never been designated ‘Rin’ in the past, but will now answer to that as per client request.”

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
How can we translate something when there are no corresponding concepts?
Relationship between Murderbot and ART can be called by many names, but they are near, or more often, far approximation.
ART comes up with a solution.* I changed the codes part, as I found that some people actually tried to decipher them. (It was mostly random symbols, but now i have a system)
