Incredibly cute and fluffy. Adore the reasoning behind how SecUnit chose what kind of genitals to get. Very in character justification for such an out of character activity.

5 - I adore this, so many emotions, so much care and concern, the tentative attempts and missteps.

Summary
We all know the old joke: a rogue SecUnit walks into a bar. The bartender, a rogue ComfortUnit in hiding who's been having one hell of a day, takes one look at it and has a bad idea.
Really. It's a terrible idea. Dragging a rogue SecUnit home for a one night stand is probably the most dangerous thing it's ever considered.
Luckily, the rogue SecUnit in question is Three. And if Three knows one thing about itself, it's that it wants to help.
Somewhere on Preservation, there's a tiny cabin on a big homestead, where stubborn purple flowers refuse to die. In the cabin, in the aftermath, a pair of equally stubborn constructs have an idea that, just maybe, isn't terrible at all.

Manual Reset by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
It is dusk, during the mild early nights of the fallow season, and we— 1.0 and I— are playing Keep Away with the Mensah children when 1.0 abruptly utters, "This unit's critical components have reached their designated life expectancy," and drops like a stone.
Then it says, "WHAT THE FUCK."
Three has to hit the reset switch on a forced-obsolescence process. The switch is in an extremely inconvenient place inside Murderbot. Like, wrist-deep.
Three is feeling so normal about this. It is. It is.

Summary
SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.
The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

Summary
When Murderbot is damaged in a mission-gone-sideways, it and Three back-track to a ComfortUnit brothel where the governor-module override code has already done its job and there's a SecUnit repair cubicle it can sneak into.
While it's busy getting its repairs done, Three gets busy... getting busy with a ComfortUnit who thinks SecUnit physiology is bullshit.

Three is behaving oddly.
There's a surprisingly ordinary explanation, it's just that the explanation isn't fun for anyone.

Summary
Dr. Gurathin takes an old-fashioned approach to discouraging Murderbot's ongoing attempts to surveil his private residence on Preservation Station. Murderbot handles the situation with grace and dignity:
During previous incidents, Dr. Gurathin had messaged me over the feed with his objections, asking that I retrieve the identified drone and not use it to re-infiltrate his personal living space. Luckily, Mensah had bought me two cases of drones, so I was able to use a different one for each new infiltration, adhering to his request.
This time, he had unexpectedly dropped a container of hot liquid over the drone. It was still functional (a drone that couldn’t handle water would be useless for planetside deployments) but the audio was muted and its visual inputs were restricted to the interior of a First Landing University mug. I could probably push the mug off the furniture surface using the drone’s propulsion system, but I was getting a 99.2% risk assessment that this action would cause mug to break. That had an 84.6% chance of turning this incident from a minor annoyance into a Big Fucking Deal involving meetings and consensus and talking about this, ugh.

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

Summary
“Perhaps constructs are immune,” Three said and I felt a ripple of fear through my organics. I had said similar to 2.0 right before finding out I was ‘in network'.
“ART, initiate quarantine protocol,” I said. I hoped it was not too late. I suspected it definitely was.

Summary
The next night, Three finally abandoned its anxious patrol circuit and instead started stalking me through the halls. It moved quietly as a predator and kept out of my view. I knocked its camera inputs away. It scrambled to do the same to me and after a few feeble attempts, I conceded for the sake of the game. The look of shocked glee on Three’s face when I came up behind it was worth it.
After that, we played lots of small impromptu jumping and stalking games. ART kept a tally of who won each round, which I thought was against the spirit of the games, but it seemed to help with Three’s ever-present loneliness. I owed it that much. (It had saved my life, after all.)
PLEASE HEED THE TAGS!

Summary
The planetary leader of Preservation is taken hostage by a corporation and held for interrogation. Lonely and homesick, she starts talking to the SecUnit assigned to guard her cell. When it's ordered to kill her, it can't bring itself to follow through.
An AU idea that's been floating around the discord! A bit like the end of Exit Strategy if it was at the start of the series. This version will get into some alternate Artificial Condition vibes eventually too.

Summary
As part of the bond agreement, PreservationAux is supposed be issued a standard rental SecUnit, all parts and systems functioning, and that's exactly what they get. The planet may have undocumented and deadly fauna, glitches and equipment failure may be mounting, but at least they don't have to deal with a rogue SecUnit on top of everything.

Summary
The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.
"Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
"It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.
---
Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.
On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
[:)](If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)

Or: Re-writing the aftermath of the investigation of DeltFall's habitat from Ratthi's POV.
