    Summary

    "What would you have done?"

    The infarction was something they didn't talk about. Ever. Through mutual, unspoken agreement, they never talked about the intimate details of those hellish days and the year following it. It had made the silence between them jagged and hard for awhile, but those edges dulled over time. At least for Wilson they did.

    "Please don't make me answer that."

    Summary

    “You’re distracting.”

    “Huh,” Wilson manages. His hands tense on his folded arms. “Is it my dazzling good looks?”

    “You’re an anomaly,” he replies immediately in a snarl.

     “I’m- I’m so sorry, I’ll try to avoid 'being an anomaly' next time.”

    What happens when two best friends love each other to the point of hating each other? They try to date and sulk about it.

    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

    I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”

    The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.

    Summary

    Hey! This is Jack the Dalton speaking. Probably couldn’t catch your call due to doing cool… bathroom tile salesman… stuff. Leave a message and I’ll hit you back up. Ciao!

    “I don’t know where I am right now.” Mac mumbled. He was aware he was slurring, slightly. He felt like he weighed a million pounds, or maybe like he’d been welded in place into his car. Immovable. Lethargic. His skin felt damp, he didn’t know if he was sweating or bleeding. He felt too cold to be sweating. “But I need help. Can you…”

    Mac closed his eyes. Can you what? Find me? Not leave me? Just talk to me?

    The voicemail beeped, marking an end to the message.

    Mac redialed.
