Summary
On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.
“You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.
“How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.
“Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”
Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

Summary
Mind you - do not let Ratthi's attempts to get in Tarik's pants distract you from the fact he's sleep-deprived. Or maybe do, but prepare for the consequences - and sympathise with SecUnit, who is forced to make all of those things happen even if it'd rather punch itself, die drowning or be eaten alive by alien-contaminated fauna (does such a thing even exist?)

Summary
For a while I’ve wondered if Gurathin’s augments are actually designed to interface with constructs—and in System Collapse we met an augmented human HubSystem.
I would like to see Murderbot and Gurathin get a little bit closer in the feed…

Summary
I had several drones and all of ART’s cameras in this room on her. Somehow it still wasn’t enough, so I shifted my eyes from the wall to her, too. I captured her every detail, from the light brown hair curling on her head, to the laughter lines on her face, and the calm and sure way she held herself, even if she was still troubled by the traumatic experiences GrayCris put her through.
I would see her again, but I didn’t know when, so I made sure to save this image in my permanent storage. I had a special folder where I kept files on all of my humans.
Murderbot says goodbye to Mensah.

Summary
A Murderbot and ART rescue mission from the point of view of the clueless human being rescued.
Hailig is a girl out of time, literally. As the sole survivor of a ship trapped in a wormhole she thought she would be trapped on her rotting lifeboat permanently. She doesn’t know how long it’s been. Time gets a bit relative in wormholes. But she keeps things positive. Sure the oxygen is somewhat unreliable, the engines are turning the ship into a giant slow cooker and the capricious gravity system is barely keeping her feet on the ground but there’s no need to be a downer about it.
She was keeping it all together until her whole world was pried free of its endless wormhole road trip. Out of the blue, she’s thrown head-first into a new world of AI, corporate warfare and part human, part bot construct security specialists. And the only-kind-of-evil companies she once knew have turned much more deadly. Lucky for her though she’ll have some help getting out alive.
