    Summary

    “I wish you wouldn’t do this,” Lalwen complained in greeting. “Two brothers I have already lost, blindly charging that place. Must you add a third to my tally?”

     

    “Maybe,” Finarfin said bluntly. It was still gentler than the truth on his tongue: It’s my turn.

    (Or: in which Finarfin is, after all, the third son in the fairy tale.)

    Summary

    After the events of System Collapse, Three takes stock of its options, tries to understand its feelings, and sorts out what its relationships with the crew, the colonists, Holism, Perihelion, and Murderbot 1.0 even are.

    They all seem to know who they are, what they want, and where they belong. Three does... not. Not anymore. It's trying to figure that out.

    Summary

    “Kneel, Adora.”

    She goes to her knees without hesitation for that expression, that voice, this superior. Before, Queen Angella had been sitting on her throne and Adora had been standing at attention. Now, she has to look up. Her heart is hammering.

    Summary


    The refugee called Human One knows three things about SecUnits:

      They watch so closely they almost know what you’re thinking.
      They can move faster than your flinch.
      If they decide you have to die, then that’s it for you.

    The refugee called Human One thinks three things about the person who tumbled into the cargo module she and her fellow escapees are trapped in, ready to save them:

      They stand tall and steady.
      They talk like they care.
      They act like they can trust her.

    Human One is about to reconcile what she thinks and what she knows with the end of a gun.

    (The rescue scene in Fugitive Telemetry from the refugee's perspective.)

    Summary

    "If Station Security catches it in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if they get tired of the investigation, or just if SecUnit pisses the wrong person off, they might try to arrest it."

    Ratthi snorted. "I mean, they sure wanted to." Gurathin said nothing, and Ratthi's humor dried up. "You're serious. You really think that Station Security would do something like that? Even knowing that SecUnit is innocent?"

    -

    Ratthi and Gurathin break for lunch.

    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.
