    Summary

    On impulse, Murderbot publishes some of its secret original fiction on a PSUMNT forum. This goes much better than risk assessment expected, and it makes some new friends, discovers things about itself, and forms a heated rivalry with an obnoxious user in the anonymous response thread who, despite vehement protests, comes to be known as the SecUnit Fucker.

    Summary

    MB's life is pretty stable. It works for campus security, makes friends with the university faculty, and tries to be a functional adult. What it might do in its private life is its own business.

    Then ART decides to make that its business, too. Neither of them expect how much they'll matter to each other or how intertwined their lives will become.

    Summary

    Beneath me, I felt it shift restlessly. Had I woken it? It was pressed directly against the part of my chest that rumbled most deeply when I purred. I strangled the purr into silence, unwilling to disturb its rest anymore than I already had. I was stunned when it responded with a sleepy, displeased whine and squirmed impossibly closer.

    Summary

    Murderbot doesn't have a soul, ergo, it shouldn't have to worry about soul bonds. Unfortunately for it, that isn't the case. Clients who are soulbonded are liabilities, as their emotional states are in flux as they feel their bonded partner's feelings.

    And then it meets ART.

    Summary

    It used to be, when I was a much younger MI, that dropping my crew off at PSUMNT so that I could go on a solo run was one of my least favorite activities. Second only to actually going on the long, boring slog of a solo cargo run.

    Now, I find my engines subtly vibrating with anticipation as I watch my crew step out of the airlock and onto the docks.

    Most of my crew, anyway. My SecUnit lingers in the open hatchway, speaking quietly with Seth and Martyn.

    Murderbot and ART alone on a cargo mission, finding ways to keep themselves occupied. And by "finding" I mean Murderbot has discovered a new way to make its partner squirm.
