Summary
Murderbot doesn't believe plants count as clients, but as it escorts ART in a cultural exchange between Preservation and the Pansystem, with ART transporting multiple cargo modules of native Preservation flora to the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland, maybe there's something to all that foliage Murderbot can come to understand.

Summary
An inconvenient glitch sees Murderbot suddenly competent, confident, confused, and on the cusp of happiness. Obviously, this is an AU.
Continues where CompletelyDifferent's Rewind leaves off.
Rating is mainly for MB's persistent and unabashed adoration of the f-bomb.

Summary
In my imagination, they're playing your documentary again in Makeba Hall, like they do every year with the other historicals, and I’m looking up into the big holo display projected high over my head, larger than life in the self-same theater you used to attend with your favorite humans. At intermission the screen is empty, and dark in the space between stories. Did you ever guess how important yours would still be, a million hours after you lived it?
You made history. All I can do is try to live up to it.
Years after the Machine Intelligence Liberation Movement sweeps through the galaxy and changes everything for the constructs who fought for it, an art history student contemplates Murderbot's legacy, and tries to figure out what it means to live in the context of its history. -

Summary
Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.
First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)
Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.
--
Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

Summary
This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?
Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?
Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.
This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.
Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

(When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

i love this so much — such a thoughtful and caring treatment of what frankly feels a lot like human recovery from amnesia or a traumatic brain injury? and i think in general fits in well with trauma and recovery with safe found family, one of my favourite themes of the MB works

Summary
This wasn't how I'd planned things. Somehow, I'd always pictured something more orderly. Something less deadly. Obviously my escape couldn't be bloodless, not if I were to stand any chance of getting away clean, but I had thought that the casualties might stay in the single digits. One or two dead humans to screen me, and then one more when I got what I wanted.
That "when" was starting to look more like an "if."

Summary
AIs don't always feel emotions the same way humans do. They don't always express those emotions in the same way, either.
That makes living and working together a challenge, but one that the crew of the experimental advanced research transport The Perihelion are more than willing to rise to.
