Summary
SecUnit has been solving puzzles for Station Security and checking VOLUNTARY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE every time. It doesn’t need the money. Then Gurathin runs an audit, Pin-Lee explains what unpaid expert work looks like to a Council deciding whether constructs are people, and SecUnit's attempts to fix the problem make everything worse for it--and for Three. And that's before it finds out how much Mensah paid to free it, and wants to pay her back.

Summary
ART and SecUnit don't like the way machine intelligences and SecUnits are portrayed in media, so they decide to write their own. Their show is called Ship + Unit, so it's a bit of an AU, but not exactly. It's very meta.

Snow / Storm by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
Planets are dumb and dangerous, but at this point I'd argued— okay, more like complained— complargued so many times that nobody except ART was still willing to argufy back.
(That stands for argue-pacify, in case it isn't obvious. I think it's not obvious. And no, I hadn't forgiven ART yet for saying I needed pacifying.)
Anyway, I was currently complarguing from my seat in the back of the snow-capable bot-driven transport heading out to the middle of nowhere, so I had the sneaking suspicion I'd lost the fight.
Murderbot accompanies its humans on a winter vacation. Then the storm hits.

Summary
It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.

Summary
“It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
“For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
“Fuck off, ART.”
“You fuck off.”
So, I decided to go on the survey.Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

Summary
“I just barely got your humans trained. Now I’m going to have to start all over again...”
The Perihelion has been conscripted to provide transportation for a Pan-System University of Mihara and New Tideland Xenoarchaeology Department exoarchaeology survey of a long-abandoned space station, and Murderbot is tagging along for the ride. Though it just really wants to be left to watch its media in peace, it may not have any choice but to try and answer questions like 'What happened to the original colonists who disappeared without a trace?' and 'What really happened two the two PSUMNT researchers who were lost on the last expedition?'
Also... alien ghosts aren't real... are they?
