Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

Summary
A Murderbot and ART rescue mission from the point of view of the clueless human being rescued.
Hailig is a girl out of time, literally. As the sole survivor of a ship trapped in a wormhole she thought she would be trapped on her rotting lifeboat permanently. She doesn’t know how long it’s been. Time gets a bit relative in wormholes. But she keeps things positive. Sure the oxygen is somewhat unreliable, the engines are turning the ship into a giant slow cooker and the capricious gravity system is barely keeping her feet on the ground but there’s no need to be a downer about it.
She was keeping it all together until her whole world was pried free of its endless wormhole road trip. Out of the blue, she’s thrown head-first into a new world of AI, corporate warfare and part human, part bot construct security specialists. And the only-kind-of-evil companies she once knew have turned much more deadly. Lucky for her though she’ll have some help getting out alive.

Summary
“Then that would mean—” Alphinaud’s gaze narrows. “—that whatever you wrote, it was redacted as forbidden upon formal publication.”
Thancred considers himself humble. Cocky in attitude, sure, but never keeping his chin proffered above the common man. He’ll identify as a rogue and a dastard long before he dons the title of esteemed scholar. Still, there is a smugness in his smile. It’s a broad, proud thing on his face that only widens at Alphinaud’s frustrated realization.
“What did you…” Alphinaud starts, and then promptly restarts. “What could you have possibly discovered?”

Summary
The adventures of a messy triad featuring Hades, Hythlodaeus, and an Azem named Dionysius. Everything (so far) takes place long before Elpis. This series is in chronological order and while all of the stories should be delicious and concise on their own, they all build off of each other, and share my collection of weird ancient headcanons.

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.

Summary
The Preservation Auxilliary Survey Team and the PanSystem University of Mihira and New Tideland are teaming up for a survey of a potential colony world. Their mission: make sure there aren't any alien remnants left on it.
Dr. Bharadwaj and Murderbot both have very mixed feelings about the enterprise. She, because it's her first survey since the one she nearly died on. It, because the planet in question is Milu.

Summary
I am 22 meters away from your medical suite, I told ART. I'll be fine. I closed our feed connection.
ART immediately reopened the connection. 22.668, it corrected me haughtily. Since you hacked my crew intake system to force the medical forms to list your emergency sexual partner as “null,” you still need to make a plan.
I sighed. I’ve had a lot of practice, so it was a really good sigh. You didn’t stop me, I pointed out.
Yes. I am regretting that now, it replied, dry.

Summary
The world is falling apart—literally. Lysette's faith is unshaken, but her will and her nerves are tested as demons rain from the sky. Only the appearance of a so-called 'Herald of Andraste' spares her life. Torn between gratitude and skepticism, but determined to repay her debt, she volunteers to join the fledgling Inquisition. Between the confusion of relief efforts and arguments with her equally baffled colleagues, she finds an unexpected form of solace: a friendship with the gruff and overworked apothecary.
Adan's no healer, but he's got more skill than most. He'll do what he can. And he's no politician, but he's worked at royal courts before. He'll get by in this new Inquisition. But all this fuss about demons and mages is even further from his expertise. What is he, a bloody templar?
(Because NPCs deserve love too!)
