Summary
I said, I wasn’t malfunctioning.
If my trauma therapist had been here she would have given me one of her looks again.
ART bot didn’t give me a look even though I could tell it really wanted to.
Instead it said, It wouldn’t make a difference to me if you were.
Oh that was irritating. For a lot of reasons. Most of all the way it made my face do something stupid and warm again.
Murderbot needs some coping skills. Luckily it has an extremely shitty list of them and it might just be willing to let ART help it use one of them on a trip to a university nature preserve. (After threatening it with the end of its energy weapon a bit first obviously). Even bots need to touch some grass sometimes. And maybe each other too.

Summary
We were watching Sanctuary Moon when it happened.
We’d gotten to the part where Captain Hossein and the Navigation Unit were stranded planetside—the whole scene bathed in violet hues to bring out the romantic overtones. (Much more appealing than actual planets.)
“I love this bit,” Ratthi said.
Truthfully, I like it, too. And I could have said as much. Or I could have said nothing at all. Both were valid options. But instead, I decided to be the contrary asshole and went with option C.
“It’s implausible,” I said.
Ratthi looked confused and I realized I needed to elaborate.
“There’s no way a unit built to navigate starships would take a romantic interest in somebody.”
And that’s when I felt it—the sudden absence. If I’m honest, I hadn’t realized how closely ART had managed to sidle up against me in the feed until it was gone.
OR
An offhand comment leads to a misunderstanding between SecUnit and ART, and—possibly—a discussion about what they really are to each other.

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
I had expected that the "ship in distress" might be trying to lure us into an ambush, because I'm paranoid like that. What I couldn't anticipate was those raiders bringing a harpoon to a space fight, and managing to impale me into ART's hull with one lucky shot.
