Summary
Styx! I yell over the feed. What happened???
Um, it says, and it sounds cornered. It— it's kind of a long story, it—
My ETA is forty-five seconds, I snap. Start now.
…Right, Styx says guiltily. Well. Okay. It's easier if I just show you.
I am about to ask it what it means by that when I abruptly feel as if my head has been shoved underwater.Series

Summary
I was allowed to interact with home equipment, meaning if I cared to speak to anyone, there were plenty of options:
- Tseyvar Frakes’ personal SecUnit. (I didn’t care to talk to this one, but it did exchange security information with me, which I guess was okay because it improved my performance reliability.)
- HomeHubSystem. (This was an AI Tseyvar put in charge of HubSystem. Do not do this.)
- HomeHubSystem’s maintenance bots. (Recently found out these were autonomous. I hadn’t even checked.)
I did not have permission to speak to:
- Tseyvar Frakes’ FamUnit.

Summary
Sorry [NULL]. I tried to tell him you were a professional, it says over the private feed, with the impression of a shrug. I try not to get angry at its almost deferential attitude.
[NULL]? I can’t help but ask.
A past designation. Apologies, habit. We had worked together before your-
It cuts itself off.
Before my “demotion”, I finish for it.

A rogue Combat SecUnit ends up on Preservation Station. The security officers have no clue what to do about it. Even it has no clue what to do with itself, which is no help at all.
*Continuation to "Birthday Surprise." The first several paragraphs will explain how the characters ended up where they are, so you can focus on just reading CSU shenanigans.*

Summary
I should just expect that mining facilities suck. This one especially sucked for me personally because of that Combat SecUnit trying to kill me. Didn't help that it was nuts, too. At least my humans got out, because the statistical, historical chances of a SecUnit taking on a Combat SecUnit are 7%.
The alien remnant wasn't helping, either.

“You’re right,” it said after a long pause, staring at its feet. “I am responsible for the mission’s outcome. I want to fix it. Please let me fix it.”
I hesitated.
“SecUnit and I can handle it,” said Three. “We have handled it before and we can handle it again.”
Charon looked up. It said, “Please, Hacker.”
I sighed. We all knew that I was going to fold.Series

Summary
Murderbot and Gurathin struggle to work together after the catastrophic events of the previous survey. But they just can't catch a break.
*Follow up to the story "Wolves and Sheep". The fic explains itself at some point, so maybe it won't be necessary to have read the previous one. Just know that on its previous job, MB got infected by alien remnants and tried to kill the PresAux team.*
