    Summary

    If ghosts were real, they would be registered as an extreme threat to clients, and the company would have given me a module on how to kill them. Whatever was in the collapsed mineshaft, there was no way it was a dead human.

    But it might still be an as-yet unknown threat.

    -

    99.99999% of the time, threats to a SecUnit's clients can be addressed with some amount of physical force, anywhere on the sliding scale from standing between two combatants to shooting the threat full of holes.

    The other 0.00001%, though? There's nothing about that in any of the learning modules.

    (Or: Murderbot tells a ghost story.)

    Summary

    "Doctor Mensah left her office, going to meet up with Gurathin and Ratthi for lunch at one of the Preservation Station cafeteria modules. I’d been watching Sanctuary Moon on the couch, but the drones (and my eyes) told me she’d gotten up, so I got up to follow her. Then, for no reason, my risk assessment module hit 97% and I almost went into automatic shutdown."

    Murderbot discovers that Doctor Mensah, in a misguided attempt to buy it a gift, has acquired a company cubicle. This is traumatizing, horrifying, and the maybe the worst thing that's ever happened, but Murderbot knows its place. It belongs to Mensah, and if Mensah wants to stick it in a cubicle, its going to go. Fortunately, a certain research transport shows up to make sure nobody's mistreating their SecUnit.
