Summary
This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?
Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?
Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.
This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.
Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

(When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

Summary
“I was just making an objective observation.” I pulled up a compilation of my best footage and attached it to the feed. “She fits the criteria for what is deemed attractive by the media.”
“Oh, wow,” Ratthi was saying. “You got that together really fast.”/Another day fighting to save a colony from the corporate hold. Nothing to see here!

Summary
On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.
“You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.
“How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.
“Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”
Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

Murderbot came to kick ass. It’s really not sure about chewing any bubble gum. A series of vignettes set a few years after System Collapse, when a chewing gum fad sweeps through ART’s latest class of students. ART and MB reap the benefits of trust.

Parameters NULL: Our Fractured State by FlipSpring

Summary
Your face is not SecUnit standard. There have been alterations made to your skin and hair. There is a rapid-cycling fluidity to your expressions that is like a human’s, but not. Your feed is still a strange and curious torrent of nonsense. You use security-protocol-language and human words in tandem. You are like a human begging for mercy, and like a bot requesting resources and strategic backup.
