    Summary

    A boring, routine job leads Murderbot directly to someone it did not know it had forgotten, and maybe it's about to finally get that closure it didn't find on RaviHyral.

    ---

    Memory ghost. I must have met it at some point before my last wipe.

    It’s a company ComfortUnit, ART noted.

    I know it’s a company ComfortUnit. I’m not fucking blind.

    Summary

    SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

    Summary

    My route has another projected 4.7 seconds. I tried so fucking hard to get to you, to outrun that fucking CSU. Unfortunately, that’s when the CSU shoots me in my power cord.

    I only have enough time to send a single, panicked message to you, telling you to get the hell out of here, before I suffer an emergency shutdown.

    Summary

    SecUnit pulled back then. Its hands still lingered on it. Its unfocused eyes locked with the camera.
    Peri took a moment to find its voice. When it did, it came out like a breathless human.
    That is…a highly questionable way of utilizing university-issued medical technology.
    SecUnit slurred, “Fuck the university.”
    It pressed its lips on it again.

    After a night out at Preservation Station goes awry, the humans end up having to babysit a drugged-up Murderbot. Little do they know things are about to get 100% weirder when they pass that responsibility off to ART.
