    A pre-hack Murderbot helps a client survive after a hostile fauna encounter.

    Okay, the thing I didn't tell anybody about my right leg getting eaten in the altered memory sequence: I'm 73 percent certain that never happened to me, but there's an 89 percent chance I did see that happen to a human at some point. (from System Collapse)

    Summary

    It's been two years since Gurathin's last overdose, keeping him from a long sabotage mission meant to get rid of some far-away planetary leader.

    He hates it kind of makes sense the Company won't send him alone now: Deep cover, several weeks long. A hotel whose private networks he'll use to data-mine, and people he'll have to kill. His bodyguard is supposed to pose as an augmented human, though — So of course he wonders if they're sending him to die. SecUnits aren't even sentient. Right?

    Maybe the best thing he could do is disappear. And maybe the best way to try is doing it together.

    Summary

    My :insert stupid thing here: buffer phrase was perfect for this situation.

    I announced to the group, “This ball activity is in violation of your safety bond. Please stop doing ball activity immediately.”

    The humans did not stop immediately.

    Five times SecUnit needed to deal with both stupid humans and its governor module. And one time it didn't.

So. Guess I'm in this now! Gonna try to post something for each day but we'll have to see how it goes

    Summary

    The thing about humans is that they can pack bond with anything. Various fauna, humanoid bots, even a toaster. It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking depressing.

    Or: A client gets attached to her SecUnit, with deadly consequences.

    Summary

    A series of unrelated fics in which a SecUnit (usually Murderbot) is on company inventory and dealing with its governor module, or hiding its hack of its governor module.

    The fics are arranged semi-chronologically relative to Murderbot's timeline, but they can be read independently and in any order. All are a balance of angst with hope, except for everything, this, me especially which is more of a mix of fluff, angst and humor.

    Stories by molecular_machine, with art and podfic by DoomNightAt12 and Kitsunebaba in The Junkyard Society of Discarded Robots.
