Summary
I was such an idiot. I’d let myself relax, thinking that getting to Preservation Alliance had changed things for me. But I’d risked leaving for Dr. Mensah’s conference, and now I’d been kidnapped alongside my least favorite human. Damaged goods, called back to the Corporation Rim for repairs.

Summary
The Preservation Auxilliary Survey Team and the PanSystem University of Mihira and New Tideland are teaming up for a survey of a potential colony world. Their mission: make sure there aren't any alien remnants left on it.
Dr. Bharadwaj and Murderbot both have very mixed feelings about the enterprise. She, because it's her first survey since the one she nearly died on. It, because the planet in question is Milu.

Summary
Perihelion had never been upset that it could not feel being held the same way that humans could.
Until it made friends with a certain SecUnit it had never even considered experiencing that.Bookmarked by maximumbeast

Summary
“Perihelion!” she whispered urgently, “What’s happening to SecUnit?”
“There is no need to worry, Dr Mensah,” Perihelion replied, “SecUnit has gone into an involuntary stasis sequence.” Its voice was calm and reassuring, though there was some other emotion underneath that Mensah couldn’t quite identify.
--
Murderbot is more comfortable around its favourite human than it realizes. Mensah and ART have a lot of emotions about this.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.
---
Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

Summary
Okay, I'm stopping.
Three exhales until the smell of burning flesh dissipates. The room smells again like Perihelion’s MedBay, sterile and sanitized, every inch of the walls and floor meticulously cleaned. Pain still sears around its back, crackling like flame around its hip and up its spine. It suppresses a shudder.
Query: Is it over?
No, I've barely started. You sound like you're dying.

Summary
Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?
I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.
So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

Summary
I had slipped from one group of disembarking travelers to another, fully planning on getting a new set of clothes (you could never be too careful and the concept of shopping was still a novel one), when the message pinged into my semi-public feed.
I see you, SecUnit.
Not the most threatening message I had ever received, but by far the most ominous one.or in which, a rogue CombatUnit meets a ComfortUnit with an audacious plan, relationships are navigated and security systems hacked (the latter more easily than the former), and a heist that will likely (>89%) end with all parties scrapped for component parts

Summary
You are currently nearly five minutes late for our planned rendezvous, and have been incommunicado for seven minutes prior. Our contingency plan dictates that should you be more than ten minutes late to our rendezvous, the rest of the crew and myself will leave you behind to escape on your own. Fortunately for you, I think this plan is stupid.
Murderbot disappears on a mission. Three finds it and brings it back to life.

Summary
Your face is not SecUnit standard. There have been alterations made to your skin and hair. There is a rapid-cycling fluidity to your expressions that is like a human’s, but not. Your feed is still a strange and curious torrent of nonsense. You use security-protocol-language and human words in tandem. You are like a human begging for mercy, and like a bot requesting resources and strategic backup.

Summary
The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.
Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.
