    Summary

    While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.
    - - -
    People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?

    Summary

    I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

    Summary

    Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
    We aren’t most people.
    (Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
    Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.)

    Summary

    Someone asked for "The Nein's first experience in Mordenkainen's mansion after Caleb learns to cast it". This is literal world-building so of COURSE it got really long and involved.

    Summary

    It’s a sense of irony, Caleb thinks in a wild corner of his brain incapable of handling the guilt, that Molly has never demanded a secret from any of them. He has demanded some sense of companionship and teamwork, but he does not demand their truths. And now they are demanding his. Caleb sees Molly’s face flash with something wounded, and some part of his heart, small and usually so hidden – breaks.
