Summary
After the events of Monkeywrench, Construct Tech Enloe's life intersects with Murderbot's again.
“Oh, yes. This one was special. I’d been looking for special Units for almost five years now, and I’d only found a dozen before. It was going to get my special update (for special Units), the one with the extra file containing all the company specs. Including its own. I hoped it would cause all sorts of trouble. Someday, surely, one of them would.”

Summary
(I had a bit of a moment there, but I think I deserved it. The governor module, as ever, disagreed and its warning zap had me reviewing the last few seconds of video to formulate a reply before the pain set in.)
“This unit has never been designated ‘Rin’ in the past, but will now answer to that as per client request.”

Summary

Summary
Local SecUnit reunites with former clients while visiting the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Former clients are delighted. SecUnit is not.
------------------
If I were a smart murderbot, I wouldn’t have looked around. I would have kept on following Iris through the university courtyard and left well enough alone. If I were a dumber bot, I wouldn’t have looked around either. Because whoever had said that name was probably talking to someone actually named Eden, not a construct who had briefly borrowed that name from its favorite serial.
But I’m just me, and I looked around.-

Totaled Doesn't Mean Irreparable by Scarlet_Tanager
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.

Summary
Murderbot's made a lot of stupid decisions, usually for good reason. Or at least, what seemed like a good reason at the time. Re-enabling its governor module, even if only in a last-ditch attempt to keep its humans safe, had been the only card it had left to play. But things didn't work out as planned, and after four years of freedom, it's back.
If only MB can even tell its humans what's wrong.-

Summary
Sometimes you wish your SecUnit had not sent you its memories of its experiences with it’s governor module. On one metaphorical hand, they were and are vital to understanding it, and it deserves to be understood.
On the other hand, they're fucking terrifying.

Summary
“I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”
If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.
I paused for three whole seconds.
“Okay,” I said.

“Attention,” said ART over the speakers, “apparently we are introducing you all to the terrifying rogue CombatUnit that ripped SecUnit's arm off. Please report to the crew lounge for what I am certain will not be incredibly awkward for everyone involved.”

Summary
While traveling together post-NE, ART and Murderbot stumble across concerning traces of an old familiar enemy. Murderbot sets off to investigate and finds itself trapped, held hostage by a mysterious augmented human with no idea where it is, why, and how it's going to get out of this. To make things worse, it's supposed to deal with having emotions about things on top of all this? Real things, not just Sanctuary Moon? Ugh.

A malignant Jiminy Cricket by Rosewind2007
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
21 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
I realise I think of the governor module as a sort of malignant Jiminy Cricket:
What do you mean you still get commands from the governor module?
In our private feed, Gurathin sounded…angry, perhaps more so than I’ve ever heard him before. He hadn’t moved, though. And his face remained in its normal “I am currently at rest, but being an asshole is always an option” configuration. He hadn’t subvocalized, and he still appeared to be staring vaguely in the direction of a particularly verdant plant biome. The rest of the PresAux team carried on their human chatter, oblivious.

A SecUnit has a glitchy system clock. There's definitely nothing else going on.

wasting my time, in the waiting line by GoLBWrites (GodOfLaundryBaskets)
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
I expect I could achieve states of boredom humans couldn't even dream of. This comes with not being considered enough of a person to get bored.
Boredom hadn't changed since I hacked my governor module, but now my brain didn't get flash fried when my attention started to wander.
