Summary
Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.
What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.
The answer was probably a solid "both".
All of my organic parts told me to run.
Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.
Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
Gender: fem-neutralI shoved the feed ID at ART.
The negotiator?, it asked.
She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

Summary
“SecUnit?” Ratthi’s voice was soft, almost careful, like he didn’t want to startle me. “Are you alright?”
I didn’t look up, but I checked the drone input I had on him, and his face was doing the thing that meant he was worried.
“I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?” His face did not relax and now he was biting his lips. Arada and Overse had also looked up and were wearing complicated expressions.
I paused the music I’d been listening to while I sorted through my media archives and sat up a little straighter. “Why do you ask?”
“You just seem … restless.”

Summary
After the fight with the Vulture at Coney Island—after the plance crash, the warehouse, everything—Peter somehow needs to make his way back home to Queens.
—
He‘d just barely made it off the island when he had to take a rest on a rooftop, unable to make his feet carry him any further.
His ribs and legs were screaming for a break and he didn‘t have the strength to ignore them.
He sank down in the shadow of a chimney, resting his back against it. His head tilted back and eyes closed of their own accord.
He knew he really shouldn‘t fall asleep here, but it couldn‘t hurt to just rest his eyes a little bit …
“Need a ride?”

Summary
Edward had meant to only briefly stop in Xerxes for some research on his way to visit Alphonse in Xing.
He hadn't expected to encounter people living in the ruins of Xerxes—not Ishvalan refugees, but settlers from Amestris.
And what kind of researcher would he be if he didn't find out what had brought them here?
If he had known what he would find, he would never have gotten involved. He wouldn't have let them see him.

Summary
Looking at Murderbot's relationship to media that isn't serials.
"It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed."

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
Caves are best avoided at all costs. They’re full of hazards, from falls to floods and suffocating small spaces—and this cave also had alien remnants in it, on top of all that. But here I was, stuck inside it with three of my humans and Three, and all we could do was try and find a way out while keeping everyone alive.

Summary
You are accustomed to a certain sense of helplessness. It is inevitable, as your designated role is to watch over those you hold within yourself. You can protect your crew from the vast, unforgiving vacuum of the universe outside of your hull, but you cannot protect them from danger that comes from within. You cannot save your SecUnit from itself.

ART makes a troubling discovery about Murderbot and construct biology.
