Summary
When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.
Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

So I didn’t really have a choice but to ask Mensah if she could help me.

Summary
Murderbot and ART thought they knew most of what there was to know about the feed.
They did not.
Now they're in a parallel world with several of their humans, trying to find their way home through a world where code and magic are the same thing. But in order to do that, they have to break down the barrier that's been keeping this world, and its magic, out of their reality for the last thousand years.
As if all that weren't annoying enough, Murderbot is a dragon, ART's a shapeshifting blob, and their guide through fairyland is about the last person anyone would have expected.

Summary
6.83 hours after the incident, it is quiet on the command deck. My drones have cleaned all traces of blood and fluid from the deck and MedSystem is set to high priority in the front of my feed. And SecUnit sits in the same chair it always does. It's sunken into the cushioning, so still it could be in a shutdown, but I can of course feel that it's awake. I haven't let it out of arm's reach since last night.
We are quiet for a long time.
We have to talk about this, I say eventually.
It takes 18 seconds to respond.
We do not, it says with finality.

Summary
We were coming back from another successful espionage mission when ART identified a person floating alone in the middle of f**king nowhere space and of course the crew insisted we help. But the drifter (literally) is stranger than we’d initially thought and so is his weird pet AI… thing. I’m certain nothing bad will happen. But when does anyone ever listen to me?
...
Max and Steel get thrust through an accidentally interdimensional portal into the world of Murderbot Diaries and unfortunately brought along a few ultralinks too.

Summary
There are a lot of security cameras. Usually that means very bad things, especially for secret human spies and their murderbot accomplices. Was I an accomplice? I planned the whole thing. Maybe the mastermind would be better. I knew Gurathin would take issue with that—because that made him the accomplice to a terrifying murderbot, rather than the one in control, and I knew how much it annoyed Gurathin 1. not to be in control, and 2. admit that I was right.
--
Or: Murderbot, Gurathin, a heist, and some
(probably)(definitely) ill-advised kissing. -

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
“SecUnit, what’s your favorite smell?” Double ugh. How the fuck was I supposed to answer this without being rude?
“I like it when there isn’t a smell.” There, that was a positive spin on my negativity, I guess. Maybe I should have lied, though. Everyone in the shuttle was frowning to some degree. Way to bring down the mood, Murderbot.
“You don’t like any smells?” Iris asked.
