    Summary

    On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.

    “You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.

    “How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.

    “Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”

    Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

    Summary

    In my fantasies, I am more than just a tool in upheaval.  I am its designer.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
    “Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
    “Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
    Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.

    Summary

    A parasite sprang from the rubble and he smashed it down viciously. The crowbar pinned it to the floor, its innards leaking even as it scrabbled for escape. The thing whined and screeched and died, fighting every second. Maybe a biologist could have told him why the thing was hostile, or what mechanism drove it to seek a human host, but he was not a biologist. He was a physicist, and he'd decided to live.

    Summary

    There was a planet covered in demons.

    Then there was just a planet, because some guy went and got rid of all the demons. And the angels. And the priests. And the humans. And the gods.

    You’re that guy.

    Summary

    "I got up to go to the bathroom. And I heard Uncle Alan on the phone when I did.” 

    “And now you can’t sleep?”

    “Yeah. Something like that.”

    (They're just kids in the middle of a mess the adults can't even figure out. Maybe it's not fair that Sam has to turn to Jet of all people for comfort, but it's what he does.)
