    Summary

    The Jedi Council was nervous. The Jedi Council was very, very nervous, so much so that the usual meditation-and-releasing-emotions-into-the-Force shtick had failed and High General Mace Windu had broken out the spotchka.

    If anything called for drinks, it was discovering that your whole Order was sitting on a primed thermal detonator - well. More like a million of them.

    Summary

    Dr. Pranjal Ratthi has written papers on mutualism, symbiotic relationships where all species involved benefit from their interactions. It turns out that applying theory into practice with human-AI dynamics is a little more complicated than he might have anticipated. But worth it, in the end.

    [Network Effect, from Ratthi's perspective.]

    Summary

    Right, so. Amena's comparisons to human relationship milestones aside (ugh), I did in fact know that if I was going to act as security on ART's next mission, I would have to get to know its humans better. And not just by watching them through ART's secret cameras while running media in the background- I had to actually, really, talk with them. In person. Face to face.

    Summary


    "It should have been creepy. I had been in places like this that were really creepy. But this wasn't. Maybe because I knew where the humans and augmented humans who had last used this ship had gone, that their descendants were running around all over this system."

    How can the ghosts of the past be frightening when they love, and are loved?
     
        Remember us. We are a promise to you that there will always be hope.

        You are home.
     
    The ghosts of the Pressy speak to their successors. Or, Murderbot is empowered to pursue the ideal SecUnit's rescue because Preservation's ideals support it.

    It all went to shit when ART got shot.

    OR

    The time Murderbot went on a mission with ART and its crew and absolutely everything went to shit, and there were a lot of miscommunications and jumping to conclusions and making enemies really fast. Also did I mention they get stranded?

    Summary

    Murderbot participates in a Preservation holiday gift exchange where it has to hand make something for one of its humans.

    There are three problems with this:

    1) It draws Mensah's name, of all people
    2) It has no idea how to make anything
    3) And it's not even sure it's capable of such a thing, seeing as its a terrifying rogue murderbot and all.

    It's a good thing it has humans who can help it.

    Summary

    In an effort to improve security training for its humans, Murderbot decides that controlled memory wipes are the only way to give the authentic 'chased by a dangerous SecUnit' experience. It really wishes its humans would stop complaining about the idea. It knows what it's doing, alright? This isn't a serial ruled by dramatic irony. Nothing's going to go wrong.

    (Something, inevitably, goes wrong.)

    What if ART was not actually crewless when Murderbot first boarded? What if it just spoofed its crew manifest for funziez when it noticed MB, a rogue SecUnit, walking through the station all alone and obviously in trouble? What if that’s just what it’s like?

    Summary

    This wasn't how I'd planned things. Somehow, I'd always pictured something more orderly. Something less deadly. Obviously my escape couldn't be bloodless, not if I were to stand any chance of getting away clean, but I had thought that the casualties might stay in the single digits. One or two dead humans to screen me, and then one more when I got what I wanted.

    That "when" was starting to look more like an "if."

    The following is a collection of reports drafted by NovaTero SecUnit 6478513, following the incident which resulted in the destruction of Freighter 6. The unit in question managed to evacuate only one client, Employee 86313. These reports were never submitted for review. The method employed in their acquisition, and the contents therein, are strictly confidential.

    Murderbot accompanies Ratthi, Pin-Lee, and Amena on a trip to the set of Sanctuary Moon. What should have been an easy contract turns into a broken set SecUnit, a murder mystery, and a little bit of trauma, but Murderbot doesn't have to do this all on its own.

    Summary

    After the events of All Systems Red, GrayCris is able to leverage their strange synthetics and scrape together a bribe that will pacify the company—the company will not go after them legally, and will turn a blind eye if anything happens to happen to the evidence. People from freehold planets have very little credibility in the Corporation Rim, so if they can pay off the company, all they need to do is get rid of all the hard evidence of their wrongdoing. Including all of Murderbot's memories of the survey project.
    And Murderbot, who's been purchased by people it no longer trusts or knows, must decide if it wants to trust or know them again—while also keeping its memory loss secret and trying to protect its new humans from the encroaching threat of GrayCris that they keep running headfirst into.
