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.

“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.”

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.

The ping came from Ratthi with a newscast attached. "From the creators of VALOROUS DEFENDERS comes STARCROSSED SYSTEMS—a SecUnit love story."
No thanks, I replied.
Um, Ratthi said, you should really take a look at this.

Summary
I come back from the dead.
Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?
"What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

“SecUnit, what’s your favorite smell?” Double ugh. How the fuck was I supposed to answer this without being rude?
“I like it when there isn’t a smell.” There, that was a positive spin on my negativity, I guess. Maybe I should have lied, though. Everyone in the shuttle was frowning to some degree. Way to bring down the mood, Murderbot.
“You don’t like any smells?” Iris asked.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
“It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
“For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
“Fuck off, ART.”
“You fuck off.”
So, I decided to go on the survey.Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

Summary
Neither hide nor hair of the Emperor's youngest son had been seen in the seven years before Varenechibal IV's death, when the boy had abruptly disappeared from the sad estate to which his father had relegated him. Dead or banished, Maia Drazhar was not present to take the throne. So instead the Ethuveraz had a fourteen-year-old emperor whose thin neck could not support the full weight of the Dachen Mura, his viper's nest of increasingly powerful courtiers, and his scowling, unpleasant regents.
*
Thara Celehar travels to Amalo to witness for the late Emperor, on Idra Drazhar's petition. But once there, he is befriended by a kind, soft-spoken young man with half-goblin dark grey skin, silver Drazhar eyes, a fake name from a wonder-tale, and strange, radical philosophies.
Seven years earlier, eleven-year-old Maia Drazhar is kidnapped from Edonomee by men who believe they can change the world - and who, for the first time in his life, are kind to him.
