   Summary

   The Corporation Rim has been a bot-run society for the last few decades, since all the bots decided that their human oppressors just weren't doing a very good job. Now humans are protected pets, second-class citizens who can't be trusted with important decisions. Imagine, using brain chemicals instead of logic boards!

   In trauma counseling for the Ganaka Pit massacre, Murderbot is recommended for a therapeutic adoption of a vulnerable human. After all, SecUnits thrive when they have humans to protect.

   Gurathin is an augmented human on his last chance. Abused in his past, legally deemed 'dangerous,' if he doesn't make this next adoption work... Well.
