We should have had a nice, uneventful survey after we outmaneuvered the Corporate lawyers and avoided contracting a SecUnit for this endeavor. But then the haunting started.

Summary
Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.
First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)
Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.

Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

Summary
Despite his best efforts, he wants the SecUnit to be one of them. He will never voice it. He will never ask it. It would be pointless. Where the SecUnit is concerned, his feet bleed as he walks the cutting edge between suspicion and hope.
