    Summary

    It said, But why not? I tell Don Abene everything. She's my soulmate.  

    I felt my face twist involuntarily and took 1.7 seconds to compose myself, keeping my reaction out of the feed and biting back a remark that would certainly not help me get the bot to trust me. When I'd called it a pet robot, I honestly thought I was exaggerating. 

    Bots did not have soulmates. Constructs did not have soulmates. 

    [A soulbond AU.]

    Summary

    While traveling together post-NE, ART and Murderbot stumble across concerning traces of an old familiar enemy. Murderbot sets off to investigate and finds itself trapped, held hostage by a mysterious augmented human with no idea where it is, why, and how it's going to get out of this. To make things worse, it's supposed to deal with having emotions about things on top of all this? Real things, not just Sanctuary Moon? Ugh.

    Something is wrong with ART, and the realization makes Murderbot panic too. Can they talk through their feelings about past trauma (ugh) and find a way to cope together?

    Summary

    The rogue SecUnit that calls itself Murderbot is on a boring contract when something goes very wrong. It ends up stuck with a kid, hunted by a corporate alliance that wants the kid dead, and reluctantly allied with an asshole research transport that claims to have its best interests in mind.

    Summary

    It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.

    For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

    My engines are operating at suboptimal capacity, ART informed me halfway through our cargo haul to RoeElXie.
    What do you mean, ‘suboptimal’? I asked it suspiciously.

    “You’ll think I’m so stupid,” she said. “And it will piss you off. So brace yourself.”
    I was used to being pissed off. I made a face, but assumed myself sufficiently braced.
    “I have tattoos of corporate logos.”
    I had not been sufficiently braced.

    The 84 urgent assistance requests ART just sent made this situation seem like a critical security threat. Personally, I was expecting a lot more shooting.
    What did you want me to do?
    Handle this situation.
    I’m pretty sure Three’s got it covered.
    Three is the problem.
