    Summary

    “It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
    That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
    I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
    “For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
    “Fuck off, ART.”
    “You fuck off.”
    So, I decided to go on the survey.

    Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

    Summary

    A great flood of emotion, of nonsense, rushes through Robin; he bites his tongue to keep it all at bay. You are life itself, and what a terrible job I would be doing at being human if I did not love you.

    (ch 17: an excerpt from ramy and robin’s opium-laden walk back to the english factory in the middle of the night)

    Summary

    How many different ways are there to answer a yes-or-no question? What does the word "yes" truly mean in English? In Latin? In Greek? Never before has Robin wondered, but then again, never before has he needed to know.

    Summary

    Robin felt a fleeting anxiety when Ramy disappeared through the door into his room – he had grown used to Ramy’s company during all those nights on the voyage, and he was scared of being on his own for the first time in weeks, with no other voice to soften the dark.
