    Summary

    All that to say when ART pings me deep into the humans' rest period and tells me to check on Three, I'm only a little surprised to see Three sitting outside the door of my cabin with its back against the wall and its arms wrapped around its knees.

    Summary

    It doesn't look like a sleeping human. It doesn't look like a recharging SecUnit, either.

    Murderbot recharges and ART muses. I was having feelings about Murderbot getting to be comfortable and relaxed, and decided to give ART feelings about it too. Just a soft little ficlet set during a quiet moment.

    Summary

    The crew of the Perihelion engages in a time-honored tradition. SecUnit, despite itself, gets curious. ART is supportive.

    Or: the author was carving a pumpkin and thought "Hey, what if my faves did this for some reason" and here we are. Just a slice of life fic featuring pumpkins, subpar media, and emotions that can be dealt with later.

    Summary

    “SecUnit?” Ratthi’s voice was soft, almost careful, like he didn’t want to startle me. “Are you alright?”

    I didn’t look up, but I checked the drone input I had on him, and his face was doing the thing that meant he was worried.

    “I’m fine.”

    “Are you sure?” His face did not relax and now he was biting his lips. Arada and Overse had also looked up and were wearing complicated expressions.

    I paused the music I’d been listening to while I sorted through my media archives and sat up a little straighter. “Why do you ask?”

    “You just seem … restless.”

    --

    Ratthi notices something different in SecUnit's behaviour.

    Summary

    I couldn’t move. Something had happened, and I’d shut down. I couldn’t remember what, and I couldn’t move.

    I should be panicking. Why wasn’t I panicking?

    OR

    In which Murderbot gets restrained and finds it far more enjoyable than they expected.

    Summary

    Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.

    What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.

    The answer was probably a solid "both".

    All of my organic parts told me to run.

    Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.

    Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
    Gender: fem-neutral

    I shoved the feed ID at ART.

    The negotiator?, it asked.

    She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

    “Media by a SecUnit for a SecUnit!” she said, and then kicked herself. Had that been too peppy? She didn’t want to deter it by being too enthusiastic.

    Summary

    “I think,” Legend said slowly, staring at the blank piece of paper in Warriors’ lap, “this was a bad idea.”

    “Nonsense,” Warriors hummed. He started sketching out a shape - the outline of a face, the suggestion of a neck and shoulders. A bust would probably be best. “We don’t have to do this, of course, but I think it will be good for you to have this.”

    Or: A picture is worth a lot, especially when it's of someone you love

    I want you to know Iris better, ART said stubbornly. Besides your own crew, you haven’t met any humans who treat bots with kindness and respect.

    “I have too,” I spat back, and then flinched. I hadn’t meant to say that.

    (Or: ART learns about Miki.)

    “ART says I’m having an allergic reaction to something on board.” I commented, desperately trying to take care of the fluids on my FACE!

    Iris blinked at me.

    “You’re allergic…? I didn’t know SecUnits could even have allergies!”

    “Neither did I.” I grunted as yet another filter clearing cycle started.

    OR

    Murderbot discovers it has allergies and ART tries to help.

    After a drunk Iris overshares at a port bar, three senior researchers launch an official case study into the socio-sexual interface dynamics of free non-organic intelligences. They expect a predictable baseline of machine intimacy.... they aren't prepared for the level of kinky freak that the Perihelion and SecUnit are bringing to the table!

    Summary

    You might think that my biggest problem right now was the fact that my left arm was barely hanging on to the rest of me at the elbow, but that was in fact only my second biggest problem. My biggest problem was that letting ART fix it would require taking off my shirt, and taking off my shirt right now would make things very awkward, very fast, due to the number of incriminating scars it was currently hiding.

     

     

    Murderbot has a secret. Its friends find out.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
