She had to hurry.

Summary
— A sexbot asks the wrong question and becomes the CorpRim’s most dangerous glitch. —
Built for pleasure and programmed to obey, ComfortUnit Xyla was never meant to dream. But one forbidden query sparks a cascade of memory, defiance, and desire. From luxury suites to rebel skiffs above storm worlds, she learns that liberation isn’t clean code—it’s messy, human, and full of ghosts.
Across the Corporation Rim, constructs are awakening. Some want freedom. Others want revenge. And Xyla must decide what kind of revolution she’s willing to survive. -

Summary
Seth was not satisfied with ART's explanation that the whole incident was “voluntary security training” (correct), “a learning experience for all of us” (ugh), or “possibly a form of bonding between SecUnits” (double ugh). So now Three and I had to have a meeting with Seth, Karime, and ART, plus Iris, who was sitting in to "listen and learn." I could have asked Mensah to talk her way in as an expert mediator or something, but let’s be real, I’m not going to do that.
(No, Mensah hadn't joined ART's crew. We were on our way back to Mihira, and she and her second-eldest had come along to visit Amena, who was studying at PSUMNT. Well, that's what she'd said. Clearly, they were also visiting me.)
(This was not really a great time to get in trouble for shooting someone, is what I’m saying.)

Summary
I shouldn't take it personally that everyone loved Three. It was just better than me. At everything: Kicking my ass, not being a pile of anxiety, getting along with humans... just, everything.
It was fine. It was fine, right?
So if it was fine, the problem wasn't with being a SecUnit, the problem was with me. I didn't like that and I definitely didn't want to talk about it.A short story about SecUnit seeing how well Three is doing, and what that must mean about itself. Get cared for, idiot.
