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.

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
"So, this..." he began. Then he reached up to rub at his temples, as if to smooth away a headache. "This is supposed to convince us not to kill all your clients?"
(A ComfortUnit tells a story. It's not a horror story, because horror implies abnormal circumstances—it's just the story of one bad day.)

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. -

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.
