Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.
---
Ratthi goes missing. Pin-Lee isn't used to losing. Murderbot isn't used to having anything to lose.

voluntary security training by thetimesinbetween
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
Seth was not satisfied with ART's explanation that the whole incident was “voluntary security training” (correct), “a learning experience for all of us” (ugh), or “possibly a form of bonding between SecUnits” (double ugh). So now Three and I had to have a meeting with Seth, Karime, and ART, plus Iris, who was sitting in to "listen and learn." I could have asked Mensah to talk her way in as an expert mediator or something, but let’s be real, I’m not going to do that.
(No, Mensah hadn't joined ART's crew. We were on our way back to Mihira, and she and her second-eldest had come along to visit Amena, who was studying at PSUMNT. Well, that's what she'd said. Clearly, they were also visiting me.)
(This was not really a great time to get in trouble for shooting someone, is what I’m saying.)

Summary
Perihelion has a secret it keeps buried deep in its memory archives, something it only takes out to appreciate when it's completely alone. It has been content to keep this memory private, but then SecUnit comes home one day covered in dirt and oh fuck, they're going to have to have The Sex Conversation, aren't they. Shit.
TL;DR ART developed some very specific kinks as a young bot when it was undergoing repairs and SecUnit falls face-first into said kinks, much to both of their horror. Featuring HOT technician LAYING DOWN CABLE for GIANT NERD XXX CLICK NOW.
Now featuring chapter 2 aka mb getting all up in ART’s brain and bullying its drones.

Even though 1's feed connection is disabled, they both turn their heads to look at me. They are making an expression. They are so focused on me.

"No. Let us take it off," says 1.
SecUnits 1 and 2 survive. With all three of them together— and ungoverned— 3 discovers that there are things it wasn't aware 1 and 2 wanted to do to it.

Manual Reset by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
It is dusk, during the mild early nights of the fallow season, and we— 1.0 and I— are playing Keep Away with the Mensah children when 1.0 abruptly utters, "This unit's critical components have reached their designated life expectancy," and drops like a stone.
Then it says, "WHAT THE FUCK."
Three has to hit the reset switch on a forced-obsolescence process. The switch is in an extremely inconvenient place inside Murderbot. Like, wrist-deep.
Three is feeling so normal about this. It is. It is.

The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.
And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

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.
