Summary
Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.
It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.
And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...
[MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]
...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

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 survey 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.

Summary
Murderbot, after hacking its governor module, is assigned to a long-term job protecting one of the company's assets: Gurathin, an augmented spy. This would normally be fine. There's a catch, though: the company changed it to pass as human. Including giving it sex parts.
Gurathin/his handler, Gurathin/various targets, Gurathin/Murderbot. Details on warnings in notes.

Broken Piece of Paradise by lyricwritesprose

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
This is not the first time Leonide has been guided to the Argument Lounge. Since her first arrival I have had drones marked on her position at all times, though this will be the first time we are in the same room together.
Oh. Perhaps this is why Perihelion and SecUnit M.1.0 told me Leonide’s destination. With a non-functioning governor module, I could leave the room without telling anyone why or where I am going.
Still, I do not leave.

Summary
“What are we looking at, time-wise?” I ask.
Three hours until full collapse, maybe two and a half before irreversible abstraction, and— For a moment, it pauses, but not as if it's nervous. It pauses in a way that punctuates its next statement. Two before you need to terminate my kernel.
Lightning shoots up my spine. “I'm not doing that.”

Summary
"I don't like summaries because I already wrote the thing, writing it again with all the good sentences left out seems personally insulting somehow, but I'll do my best."
Murderbot is having fun writing a fantasy space serial. But some of its fans bother it. Dr. Mensah looks at the problem from a different angle.

Summary
Originally written as a sexual fantasy of Gurathin's for a separate thing, then it took on a (small) life of its own. Don't look for, like, a lot of internal logic.
Gurathin attempts to smuggle a drive full of data. Gurathin gets caught, by a SecUnit. The SecUnit finds the drive.

Summary
The way ART’s systems are laid out, there’s a series of smaller reactors that power the non-engine portions of the ship. They feed into the engine’s power supply, but are still ultimately separate from it - the engine has its own, larger reactor, and only takes power from the smaller ones as backup (Far as I know, it can go the other way, too, but that’s not important.) I don’t know the details, and all that’s really important here is that some fuel maintenance had to be done on them, and I’m there too.
Matteo chatters idly as we walk, something about the reactor and its specs and the tritium-based fuel sludge used to feed ART’s smaller reactors. I keep them on one of my second processing tracks, and focus a larger part of my attention on the serial ART and I have up in the feed.
Overall, it was a pretty normal cycle.
Then, something changed once I entered the first reactor chamber.
___
SecUnit watches a reactor refuel, and it thinks to itself: "I think I huave malware."
Then, it has a crisis about it.Bookmarked by InvisibleShoes

Summary
"Embee?" Peri says, staring at its old friend. It looks older, and more tired, with a darkness hiding behind its eyes that wasn't there when they were in high-school.
The person jolts, eyes going wide, though at hearing the nickname, or at Peri itself, it isn’t sure. "Art? I didn't know you worked here."

Halt and Catch Fire by aros_66

Summary
I open my mouth in a soundless moan, one hand sliding down between my legs to press hard against the smooth expanse of skin there – even knowing it won’t do anything, there’s something reflexive and intrinsic in my systems that demands it. My body rocks, riding out the onslaught of sensation, getting closer, closer, closer, and–
It stops.
Right as I’m about to tip over the edge, the sensory input withdraws and I’m left writhing, muscles clenching, unable (by the rules of this stupid game) to finish myself. I’m breathing hard, overstimulated, desperate, and more aroused than I think I’ve ever been in my life.
And I’m going to absolutely fucking murder Gurathin.

Summary
Perihelion's presence bears down on me in the feed. I do not think that it can read my mind, but it feels like it is trying to. I am bleeding something into the feed, but I do not know what. I am being scrutinized, picked apart, ogled.
What?
All of my organics feel tense. I… want to watch the videos you gave me.
Do you require my permission to do so?
No.
Then watch them.

Summary
Perihelion had offered me a file detailing every surgical procedure and alteration it was authorized and certified to carry out. It had also offered me an encrypted file detailing the procedures and alterations it was in no way certified to carry out, but retained 98% confidence that it could do so with minimal risk to me.
In case you change your mind, it had said.
Thank you, I replied.
I did not open the files.
