Summary
Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.
It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.
And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...
[MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]
...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

Protocol Error by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.
The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

Bookmark Notes:
The surviving secunit (secunit 3) figures out its friends/family/team are dead, it has no orders, and it has to grieve. The rogue unit that locked down its governor module is dead, but it is with rogue unit 1.0, who doesn't want to talk to it. ART and the humans realize it is struggling and help as much as they can.

Summary
"I am reviewing your files," Three began, then hesitated for 0.3 seconds. It continued, "I am not finished, but my status is … distracting me from proper analysis."
I had a sinking feeling. I asked anyway, "Your status?"
"I am alone."

It's nice to know that you will be missed. I wonder if Murderbot 2.0 knew that it would be missed. I wonder if Units 1 and 2 knew that they would be missed, but I know the answer to that.

Summary
It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.
Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.
I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

Summary
Something is wrong. ART said over the speakers.
This was alarming, as you might imagine, for a variety of reasons. Most being that ART hated admitting anything was wrong.-
ART is having issue with the feed. Murderbot and Three have to go deep to find the source of the problem. Featuring: convoluted references to low-level computer systems, abstract descriptions of artifical intelligence, and the most goddamn incredible art I have ever seen in my life.

Finding Your Way In an Unfriendly Universe by IHopedTheredBeStars
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
15 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.
Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.

Summary
We all know the old joke: a rogue SecUnit walks into a bar. The bartender, a rogue ComfortUnit in hiding who's been having one hell of a day, takes one look at it and has a bad idea.
Really. It's a terrible idea. Dragging a rogue SecUnit home for a one night stand is probably the most dangerous thing it's ever considered.
Luckily, the rogue SecUnit in question is Three. And if Three knows one thing about itself, it's that it wants to help.
Somewhere on Preservation, there's a tiny cabin on a big homestead, where stubborn purple flowers refuse to die. In the cabin, in the aftermath, a pair of equally stubborn constructs have an idea that, just maybe, isn't terrible at all.

Summary
Murderbot's first mission with ART's crew didn't go as planned, and its return to Preservation is complicated by a missing limb and assorted misunderstandings. Awkward conversations to be had, weird cases to be worked, a heist to plan, and new protocols to learn.
