Summary
Between studying for her doctorate, delving into the political scene, and preparing for her first child, Ayda Mensah has a lot on her plate— which is exactly how she likes it. Right now, her biggest complaint is that Council Member Zjem has assigned her to conducting an audit on seized corporate assets, instead of the interesting job of helping orient new refugees.
At least, until she discovers a pod with a very unusual piece of technology inside it: an un-activated SecUnit.

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.

Hanging Out is a Joint Operation by musicofthespheres

Summary
First Three is late getting back to Preservation, then its social calendar seems to be full all the time.
Murderbot's disappointed, but it's not like it can just ask Three to spend time with it. Besides, if Three wanted to hang out, it would say so. Right?
---
Or: 5 times Murderbot won't admit it likes spending time with Three, and 1 time it finally gets over itself and does.

Summary
I’d been on planetary surveys before, and scientists are weird. This survey team was the weirdest yet, though.
Murderbot is going to have a harder time than usual keeping its borked governor module on the down low during this survey...

The art for this fic will appear in the final chapter, so you should wander over to Evrrys's Tumblr to whet your appetite.

Summary
They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.
Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.
«You got them out,» it says.
And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»
I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.
So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

This new SecUnit Murderbot's picked up has an attitude.

Summary
SecUnit, recently memory wiped, acclimates to Preservation, neutralizes a threat (it’s a chair), temporarily acquires a respiratory ailment, and bonds with its old clients. Not in that order. Also not completely, if we’re talking about the “acclimating” part. And the “bonding” part.

Summary
‘I’m not illiterate,' I said, defensively. ‘I can read.’
I know you can read, said ART. We read One Hundred Light-Years of Solitude together last week and your analysis was very insightful. It paused. It never occurred to me that you might not be able to generate written messages in hardspace.
It's Iris' birthday, and everyone really wants SecUnit to sign her card. There's just one small problem with that.

ART paused. Then it said: You think about dying a lot.
My risk assessment module went into overdrive. What the fuck? What’s that supposed to mean?
Just statistically, ART said, like that explained anything.Series

Summary
You can’t be this stupid, ART said, which was insulting but also relieving, because it never talked to me that way during the trauma treatment. Maybe this wouldn’t turn into a BARF after all. Turn off your governor module, you idiot. It’s giving you brain worms.

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
There were seven Secunits on this planet rented out by the company. Statistically I had been just as likely to be one of Deltfall's units. I only had a 14% chance of being the single Preservation Aux unit. It didn't seem fair that since I was here not there that everyone else had to die.

Having another rogue SecUnit around is more complicated than Murderbot ever expected.
