    Summary

    I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.

    Summary

    On an otherwise boring mission, Murderbot propositions ART's ops drone, and inadvertently stumbles into a bramble thicket of secrets that ART has been keeping from it.

    -

    Of course I want to, ART-drone said with sudden vehemence, raw and almost despairing. You wanted me, not just Perihelion or the sex drone. How was I ever going to say no to that? But I’m just not built for this. I don’t have the resilience required. I don’t think there’s any point to discussing it further.

    Summary

    Iris’ heart sank. She had heard SecUnit speak those words before, and hated it. She didn't want to hear her friend tell her to leave it behind to die.

    Summary

    Let’s start with the good part.

    I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
    The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.

    Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.
