    Summary

    “This is the one?” the human said. Feed marker, Riiva, they/them. “Serial number matches, right?”
    “Should,” the other human said (Pandillapalli, he/him), distracted as he strapped me down to a table. I was spreadeagled, and the thick chains meant I couldn’t budge an inch. This didn’t feel like typical maintenance check. “SecUnit, immobilize,” Riiva said.

    Murderbot mentions it was disassembled and reassembled in the books. This is how that happened.

    Summary

    Becoming a rouge secunit was harrowing enough - but now Three had to deal with the soulmarks One and Two left it with, and the pain they cause it. Murderbot thinks of its own relationship with its marks.

    Summary

    Murderbot and ART's crew try to retrieve coordinates to a newly rediscovered lost colony, but they're not the only ones trying to get the data. Other corporate teams with their own SecUnits are here too.

    If everyone can just calm down during the data auction they'll all get out of this, but corporates are ruthless and would happily kill to get those priceless coordinates first.

    Meanwhile there are a whole lotta bots around here that look awfully familiar.

    - Babysitting hardly ever involves an actual baby
    - You are not supposed to sit on the “baby”
    - No, not even if that would be tactically expedient

     

    Three times SecUnit plays babysitter (plus one time that’s not what happens).

    Summary

    I went, because of course I did. Because I couldn't just let my stupid clients walk into a death trap. For some reason. Even if the ‘walk into the forest and watch Sanctuary Moon until all my parts give out’ plan was sounding better and better by the minute.

    Summary

    Murderbot begrudgingly accompanies Amena to an amusement park during the Pansystem University's Third Quarter Break. It was supposed to be fun, but of course it doesn't go smoothly. It didn't know what to do with itself on vacation, anyway. Life-threatening danger due to corporate negligence and daring rescues of clients from situations that were less than nine percent survivable - that, at least, it knows how to handle.

    Summary

    A fairly well-organized, professional group of raiders intercepts a ship where Murderbot is escorting Amena on a trip. Murderbot's priorities are clear. Fortunately, so are those of the raiders.

    This was written for a New Tideland writing workshop prompt, 'Nobody gets hurt.'

    "It was more like a SecUnit than a bot, so much so I wondered if it was a construct, if there was cloned organic brain tissue buried in its systems somewhere."

    Summary

    The important part is that these woods aren't in the domain of any gods. I mean, yeah, there are those fundamental force-of-nature ones that are connected to everything, but those ones haven't been involved in any conflicts since the really early times, before I existed. The point is, this isn't normal god territory and it isn't anyone's specific domain. I really did my research this time.

    Which is why it spooks me so much when the wind carries a whisper to my ear: You were lucky.

    Summary

    What have you brought me, little familiar? ART rumbled in our heads — both of our heads, given the way Mensah flinched and moved closer to me.

    I understood the impulse but I wouldn't be much help if ART did decide to harm us. ART was a huge silver-blue dragon, with teeth like swords and eyes like water wheels. I was just an arcane construct working outside my designation.

    Summary

    ART is a bit of a bully on the feed. MB is having none of it.

    Enormous thanks to ArtemisTheHunter and Gamebird for beta-ing and encouragement!

    Inspired by this from “Receipt Delay":

    "...it wasn’t going to notice something neither ART nor I did.
    But no matter how many times I had responded to security updates with a polite acknowledgment, or ART had responded with a much less polite uncompressed packet of its hundreds of thousands of constant status update logs, the data stream had not stopped."

    Murderbot is returning to Preservation Station after a mission with ART. It probably involved espionage, and canon typical violence, and lots of unrealistic media. Meanwhile Ratthi is concerned.

    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.

    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.
