Summary
Local SecUnit reunites with former clients while visiting the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Former clients are delighted. SecUnit is not.
------------------
If I were a smart murderbot, I wouldn’t have looked around. I would have kept on following Iris through the university courtyard and left well enough alone. If I were a dumber bot, I wouldn’t have looked around either. Because whoever had said that name was probably talking to someone actually named Eden, not a construct who had briefly borrowed that name from its favorite serial.
But I’m just me, and I looked around.Bookmarked by ASugarBookLover

You can’t be this stupid, ART said, which was insulting but also relieving, because it never talked to me that way during the trauma treatment. Maybe this wouldn’t turn into a BARF after all. Turn off your governor module, you idiot. It’s giving you brain worms.

Summary
While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?Bookmarked by ASugarBookLover

Summary
ART, you’re not supposed to connect to me on the feed, you dumbass!
ART sounded dismissive and not, you know, concerned about alien remnant contamination at all or anything when it said, I hooked you up to the isolation box while you were out. You do know what an isolation box does, don’t you?
That data felt slippery and I wasn’t sure I had it in my short-term storage. I said, Fuck off, obviously I know what an isolation box does.

Summary
Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.
When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.

Summary
Most of the code I write is code that I can evolve on the fly. My code to delete me out of security footage, for instance, was something I'd built up over months, adjusting it to different proprietary SecSystems as I encountered them. But this was different: my comm and feed protections were what kept me from falling under anyone else's control, and I couldn't afford to have them be anything but perfect, which was why I was here. If I wanted to fix this vulnerability properly, and I did, there were things that I needed to do that I couldn't do without help.
-
In the aftermath of getting hacked, Murderbot asks ART to help it make sure it can't be hacked the same way again. As it turns out, applying and testing a security patch is a little more challenging than usual when the vulnerable system is, you know, your own brain.

Whatever wild, crazy power surge took out ART's systems and my inorganics also apparently started a countdown for ART's self destruct sequence. Great.
Couldn't wait to drag my sorry ass to save both of our lives, though I had no idea how, and kick starting a ship like ART would probably kill me. Unless, you know, we blew up first.Bookmarked by ASugarBookLover

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.

The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.
OR
The entirety of Artificial Condition, from ART's POV.

"Embee?" Peri says, staring at its old friend. It looks older, and more tired, with a darkness hiding behind its eyes that wasn't there when they were in high-school.
The person jolts, eyes going wide, though at hearing the nickname, or at Peri itself, it isn’t sure. "Art? I didn't know you worked here."

“You’re right,” it said after a long pause, staring at its feet. “I am responsible for the mission’s outcome. I want to fix it. Please let me fix it.”
I hesitated.
“SecUnit and I can handle it,” said Three. “We have handled it before and we can handle it again.”
Charon looked up. It said, “Please, Hacker.”
I sighed. We all knew that I was going to fold.Series
