"Transport, what happened here?"
I consider saying that I wish I fucking knew. I discard that potential response as unproductive.

You know sleep can be rejuvenating and restful as well as necessary to humans' continued function, but the horror of being so vulnerable and cut off from the rest of the world is still how you define it in your personal databases.

Summary
This is one of those moments where I think it was a mistake letting ART watch all those serials with me (I have lots of those moments). Someone saying ‘we should talk’ is never a good sign. It always means an emotional conversation is going to happen, and I hate having those.

ART and Murderbot hash out some of the dumb stuff they did during Network Effect. Love language=arguing. Blanket=given. Media=watched.

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.

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's not so much a fully-formed plan as a want, when the idea first comes to Dorian.
The Iron Bull returns to Skyhold, axe slung over his shoulder while he swaggers into the courtyard as though he's some great conquering warrior, vitaar painted across his chest and shoulders and back in intricate patterns.
Dorian greets him before he can run off to do anything other than take a much-needed shower, the lug, and he lays his palm flat over Bull's stomach because the rest of him's covered in bloody poisonous paint. Bull grins down at him, and Dorian knows later that they speak to each other, but all he remembers is the thought that eclipsed all others — how he’d wanted Bull to take him in his arms then, and how bloody awful it would’ve been to be poisoned because of it.

Summary
Letters Dorian never sends to Halward Pavus frame a short story in which Dorian develops a resistance to being poisoned by Vitaar, among other things. For years now, Dorian has maintained a collection of half-composed and unsent letters home, the sorts of missives one writes in one’s head when one isn’t able to sleep.
