Summary
Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.
First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)
Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.
--
Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

Summary
This would be the evening before Mensah picks up SecUnit at the company dispatch center. Ratthi and Gurathin agree to share a room at the hotel. Ratthi decides this is a great time to ask if his new friend is interested in them getting to know each other better, to which Gurathin (a non-native speaker), is like, 'Oh yeah, sure.'

Summary
Four snippets of Mirror Universe Pin-Lee’s life before the rebels show up in earnest. Featuring mirror universe ASR, baby Amena, a lot of friendship, and a surprising amount of fluff for a universe where they’re evil.

Summary
I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized that the company supply drops were coming less and less often. It had been well over 35,000 hours since then, with still not much murdering, unless you consider leaving a colony of ten thousand helpless humans to starve to be murder.
-
If there had been a SecUnit in the colony, there probably would have been a compelling reason why it had to stay behind on the dying planet.

Summary
It's always seemed to me that a construct hacking their own governor module (especially with self-created and therefore unproven code) would be an act of either extreme optimism or extreme desperation. This is an AU of All Systems Red in which Murderbot reaches that point much later, possibly due to excessive pessimism...
Series

Summary
Murderbot tries so hard to deal with bizarro clients who try to talk to it (sometimes) and ask for its opinion and everything. But at least it gets to sit sometimes?
In this AU (of All Systems Red), Mensah doesn’t try to get out of having to take a SecUnit with the survey and she doesn’t see Murderbot before the survey start.
Rating mostly for swearing and probably the (mostly glossed over) canon violence.

On Port FreeCommerce, the company has finally gotten Ayda Mensah to contract a SecUnit on their bond. Mensah and Pin-Lee have to decide what to do about the position they're now in.
Pin-Lee had planned to go home after the negotiation was done, the contracts were signed, and the fees were paid. But at this point, she may be more pressingly needed here.
