Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
“I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
“Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
“Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me. -

Summary
Seth said sternly, “Perihelion, you need to tell us the truth. We can’t leave the home system until we find out what happened. If you’re hiding something—”
Peri cut him off. I am not hiding anything.
Peri might be able to lie astonishingly well to a corporate representative, even impersonate a human over the feed, but it couldn’t lie to Iris. “Yes, you are,” she said.

Or, the story of how exactly ART told its crew about Murderbot.

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.

Summary
On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.
Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.

Summary
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
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.)

You wouldn’t know a good liar if you saw one (that is, after all, the point) by MyFairKatie

Summary
Arthur and his knights can’t go just one hunting trip without getting themselves into a situation like this.
Well, it didn’t seem terrible. Whoever had told the most lies in his life would go through the barrier, answer some questions, and then the sinister smirking woman would just leave them all alone.
It’s just that, well, he wasn’t expecting it to be his servant.

Summary
Arthur had been drunk the day he’d won a small potion in a tavern, and he hadn’t really given it much thought since. The mysterious-sounding lady who’d given it to him said that it was a truth potion of sorts, and that one drop would force the truth out of whoever it was given to. Arthur kept it around, just in case.
He didn’t think he’d ever really need it, but his servant recently made him suspicious…
—
“You know Merlin, you couldn’t keep a secret if your life depended on it!”
“You’d be surprised!”
—
Maybe he’s finally found a use for the potion after all.

Summary
“The force of any magic in its presence will be reversed and magnified tenfold.”
Morgana didn’t confine the enchantment on the amulet to simply healing magic - she didn’t see the need to.
Which was why when Arthur brought the old sorcerer into the room with his father to save his life, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, replaced with a scared eight-year-old child claiming to be Merlin.

Summary
A gift passed down in Leon’s family is now in Arthur’s hands, a gift from a loyal knight. Its purpose: to protect from sorcerers.
Naturally, Arthur accepts the gift.
On an unrelated note, Arthur and Gwaine are FIERCELY protective when Merlin suddenly begins to collapse and faint sporadically, with almost no pattern. They won’t let this go on.
(Wait, does he only collapse when Arthur is in the room? …that’s probably irrelevant.)

Summary
Arthur throwing a banquet for the sorcerers who have helped him over the years to celebrate the legalization of magic is a good idea in theory.
But four of the five people Arthur just asked Merlin to give invitations to are just… different variations of Merlin.
Merlin’s TRYING to explain this to Arthur. But he just. Isn’t. Listening.
