   Summary

   I feel a spike of dread. No one has touched this part of me before. No one has dared. It is strategically hidden in a small enclave behind a series of ship-to-ship fuel transfer protocols, (an emergency function that I have deployed only once in my runtime). What lay behind the wall is extremely vulnerable and never meant to be viewed by human eyes.

   What did they do to them?

   Carefully, I let a portion of my awareness slip through my own firewall, terrified at what I might see. I surveyed the container. Relief causes my outputs to glitch momentarily, but the feeling is short lived. All of them are here, but something is wrong.

   --

   PSUMNT has stolen something vital from Perihelion's systems and it's up to Murderbot and Three to get it back. When the mission goes sideways, the trio is forced into a compromising position that exposes their secrets and changes the way they relate to one another forever.
