Summary
On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.
Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.

A series of fics following SecUnit003 from immediately after Network Effect through into post-canon Situations(tm). Each instalment involves Three either learning something important about itself as a person or making its life harder by writing overly-complicated programs for itself to follow.

Summary
People get attached to things, their clothes, their vehicles, that funny stone they found on the beach as a child. Sometimes even their SecUnits. To the SecUnit in question this is an unsettling new process.
[OCs stuck in one of those shitty mining facilities we keep hearing about]
[Murderbot doesn't show up until chapter 30. It's all OCs before then.]

Summary
I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.
Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.
