    Summary

    Charles managed to bear three nights of constant wails from the apartment next door before he finally caved and knocked sharply on the door of his new neighbour. He was rewarded with the sight of the sleepy man framed in soft light of the doorway, his handsome face creased with tiredness, and his clothes rumpled and askew. A babe of four months or so was cradled against his chest, matching her cries to the dulcet tones of another infant behind them in the apartment.

    Plastering his most winning smile on his face, Charles tried to keep the balance between reassuring and forceful. "Erik, get Pietro and sit down with both of the children on your sofa. I'll make up two bottles and we'll feed them together, and then you need to get some sleep."

    His neighbour didn't move, blocking the doorway and scowling suspiciously. "Who the fuck are you?" he hissed.

    Summary

    The room that Charles is held in is simple, and underground, a concrete bunker of a place hewn into a cube, with a simple white cot for a bed. There's a small black and white television set, plugged to the wall within hand's reach of the bed, and an ensuite bathroom attached to the chamber. They're somewhere in the Nevada desert, as far as Charles dimly remembers, one of Erik's many boltholes. There's no one else in the entire facility, and Erik's mind is closed to Charles from the helmet. The silence is both blissful and excruciating.

    Summary

    “Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?” 

    “Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

    (or: the long, bumpy road to the truth)

    Ryland has a tattoo. So does Rocky. It's not the same thing, but it also really is.

    Summary

    When the shuttle returns from the blackout zone to ART carrying their humans, Supervisor Leonide, deactivated ART-drone, and partially incapacitated SecUnit, there's still a lot to do. Namely, get one (1) injured SecUnit repaired when it absolutely does not want to be repaired anywhere near a corporate using the same medical bay.

    One slightly questionable decision later to skip medsys altogether and just wait for Leonide to leave, Murderbot finds itself being looked after.
