    Summary

    The one good thing about ART not being around was that I could ignore its instructions not to do anything stupid.

    A bundle of thick cables ran from deeper within Three’s chest into what I knew were its power cells. I picked up the cable trailing out of my energy weapon, disconnected one of Three’s, and plugged mine in.

    ----

    Murderbot and ART follow a distress signal and find Three at the bottom of an abandoned mining installation.

    Summary

    When ART finally confirmed the PA credentials and cycled the lock, I was waiting in the foyer. I'd disabled my human behavioral code, so I didn't twitch when the whole group of humans all stopped in their tracks to stare at me.

    I said, "You have boarded the Perihelion, registered teaching vessel of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Please state your business."

    In my feed, ART whispered, You sound like a shuttle attendant.

    I sound like a SecUnit.

    -

    During a cargo run, ART is subjected to a random security sweep. Murderbot falls back into its old routine of supervising annoying humans.

    Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].

    (Or: Murderbot has Emotions for 8,000 words. ART tries to help. So does Dr. Mensah, but like, in a decidedly less assholish way.)

    Summary

    It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.

    For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.
