Summary
SecUnits are separated from their daemons the moment they come online. Murderbot meets its own daemon for the first time when the company transfers its contract to Dr. Mensah.
The idea of having a daemon, a physical soul, is bad enough. But Murderbot's daemon isn't anything like what it should be. For one thing, it won't shut up about how much it wants to kill humans.

Summary
You might think that my biggest problem right now was the fact that my left arm was barely hanging on to the rest of me at the elbow, but that was in fact only my second biggest problem. My biggest problem was that letting ART fix it would require taking off my shirt, and taking off my shirt right now would make things very awkward, very fast, due to the number of incriminating scars it was currently hiding.
Murderbot has a secret. Its friends find out.

Summary
In the months since it gained its freedom, Three has become something of a social butterfly. Murderbot worries about what its own inability to socialize the same way means for its relationships with its clients.

Summary
Shawn's having a hard time focusing — You always have a hard time focusing; but his lungs are crowding up his freaking throat and Shawn presses his hand over his mouth and tries to remember how to breathe through it. He needs to get it together; he's opened up Panorama's Box and the hook is already out there now — no take-backsies. It needs to happen, Shawn knows it does.
It's just that he wishes it was easier, is all.

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.

Summary
6.83 hours after the incident, it is quiet on the command deck. My drones have cleaned all traces of blood and fluid from the deck and MedSystem is set to high priority in the front of my feed. And SecUnit sits in the same chair it always does. It's sunken into the cushioning, so still it could be in a shutdown, but I can of course feel that it's awake. I haven't let it out of arm's reach since last night.
We are quiet for a long time.
We have to talk about this, I say eventually.
It takes 18 seconds to respond.
We do not, it says with finality.

I don't hate Three.
Seriously. I don't. It would be fucking stupid to hate Three.
