    Summary

    The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.

    "Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
    "It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"

    I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.

    Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.

    [:)]

    (If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)

    Summary

    “Look, I’m… I’m not really in the business of exploding little innocent laboratory experiment guinea pigs,” she said, patting Bob on the shoulder. The rodent in her hand squeaked indignantly. “So why don’t you leave here with me, and maybe we find you some clothes, and, like, a clif bar or something, because you still look sort of woozy. And then you can think about killing yourself in a way where I’m not the one pressing a button. Okay?”

    She smiled at him in an attempt at comfort, straightening her posture to give herself some authority, or at least an air of confidence. He looked at her, and then the bomb, and then the guinea pig, and then behind him to the shadows on the wall. And then back to her.

    “Okay,” he echoed, and she was pretty sure he had a bit less doom-and-gloom nothing-matters dejection in his expression now, so maybe she said something kind of right. Maybe.

    “Great. How do you feel about wearing dead people shoes? The options here are slim.”

    Or, Yelena gets sent to destroy O.X.E. Group evidence in a lab in Malaysia and finds... Bob. Bob, who was for sure a human experiment. Bob, who was definitely supposed to be dead. Bob, who absolutely knows more than he's letting on.

    Summary

    I had to tell myself stories about you to rationalize away why you would leave me like that. I imagined this reunion time and again, a well-worn bedtime story that I could write into infinity. I look into your eyes and see that I was all wrong – you weren't the hero I remembered. You never saw me.

    You can't even see me now.
