Abort, Retry, Fail? by KeenaJ
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Murderbot (TV)

Summary
A reimagining of All Systems Red/Season 1, using elements from both.
Sent on what should be a long and tedious, but extremely simple, mission, Gurathin finds himself an unwitting target of The Company's shadow client and is forced to join up with a free-hold survey team way over their heads, and a rogue SecUnit that can't seem to catch a break.
Gurathin is assigned as a systems engineer to DeltFall during the ill fated survey, with orders to collect information for the shadow client, GrayCris, that could lead to the location of alien remnants. After their Security Unit and a researcher are mauled by giant fauna not in the information packet, and experiencing satellite outages, PresAux reaches out to DeltFall for assistance, and Gurathin is sent to assist, although no gift is truly free. Left with PresAux with orders to clone their data for DeltFall, Gurathin narrowly avoids sharing the fate of the rest of the team. Now he's stuck with a group of hippies, a Murderbot, and a fellow DeltFall survivor he's never seen before.

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.
