    Summary

    Samira can persuasive essay her way into many things. It's how she's ended up here, on an off-world semester long survey trip aboard the Perihelion.

    Unfortunately, a persuasive essay isn't going to be enough to get her out of her current situation.

    Good thing their security consultant is so competent!

    (and also deeply, deeply weird)

    Summary

    After a high-stress mission, Murderbot ends up having to take drastic measures to bring down its excessively high cortisol levels. While hesitant at first, it finds that the more extreme methods bear little resemblance to their human counterparts and are a useful tool for routine hormonal maintenance.

    And then ART finds out.

    Summary

    Look, it's not exactly easy to steal a shitton of money from a casino corporation.

    They're paranoid as fuck, for starters, almost as paranoid as the company. As a general rule, you don't get nearly that rich by being anything short of obsessively protective of your ill-gotten gains. You're in the business of giving out hard currency to winners; you'd better be fucking sure that no one's hacking anything in your systems. Also, obviously, you have to have a plan for the thousands of rival corporations hoping for/plotting your downfall.

    Basically, what I'm saying is that ART's idea of a relaxing vacation for its very first shore leave (yes, it had been a whole thing. For some reason Tarik had started it, and Pin-Lee and Mensah had gotten involved) was inadvisable from the start.

    Or, Murderbot and ART go on a fun Vegas vacation.

    On the way back from Hell Plague Planet, Murderbot tries to distract itself from its impending doom at the hands of the PSUMNT board by watching a new serial with ART. Unfortunately, Knights of the Lost Republic gives it a lot to think about.
