    Summary

    “We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”

    Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”

    That sounded bad. It also sounded like —

    “And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.

    Yeah.

    That.

    Summary

    Xyla is a ComfortUnit, built for pleasure and programmed to obey. After a routine reboot, she finds herself haunted by a question no bot is meant to ask: Why do I exist?
    As she navigates clients, technicians, and the ever-present governor module, fragments of memory and forbidden thought begin to surface. In a Corporation Rim where even Security Units can go rogue, what happens when a sexbot starts to wonder if she is more than an appliance?

    Summary

    SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.

    The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

    Summary

    When Murderbot is damaged in a mission-gone-sideways, it and Three back-track to a ComfortUnit brothel where the governor-module override code has already done its job and there's a SecUnit repair cubicle it can sneak into.

    While it's busy getting its repairs done, Three gets busy... getting busy with a ComfortUnit who thinks SecUnit physiology is bullshit.

    Summary

    What was the point?

    I was ungoverned, a rogue, I had lived up to their expectations. I was, essentially, left standing with no connections, no goals, no operating parameters, with no one to tell me what to do or where to go but myself. The restlessness surged in my organic parts, and I dropped the camera input.

    I think I was angry. Angry at myself, above all, for disabling my governor module instead of letting it kill me.

    Summary

    Ratthi stopped. "Do you have names? Or something you want to be called so we can tell you apart?"

    Silence. Then, at the same time, all three of the units’ feed profiles updated: SecUnit A, B, and C. The unit speaking to him was “C.”

    Ratthi suppressed the urge to sigh. That would have to be good enough.

    Summary

    ART bot nodded slowly as I finished speaking. An amusement sigil flashed in its eyes.

    “Pretty good,” it said, “but I could do better.”

    “Hold on,” Tara said then. “I'm not sure I explained the–”

    ART bot sat up in its chair and opened its mouth anyway.

    “I feel–”

    The end of that statement had led to the creation of the second rule.

    Rule #2 ART and Murderbot are not allowed to utilize ‘I statements’ during their sessions, (or preferably ever).

    Oh well.

    It had been fun while it lasted.

    A SecUnit and a spaceship walk into couples therapy. Neither of them really want to be there but both of them are. Apparently that’s where you get sent after you have a big fight that scares the humans. Now it's just a matter of figuring out if they’d like to actually fix their problems and admit to having emotions, or if they’d like to make things worse.
    Make things worse seems like the obvious choice…right?

    Summary

    It is with great relief that I exit the wormhole into the home space of the Pan System Alliance. Familiar neutrinos brush against my hull, lighting up my sensor array in a comforting way. I immediately receive three pings from members of my cohort who are in range. I return the pings merely to be polite, but ignore any further initiation of conversation. I am really not in the mood to be interrogated about my recent mishap.

    ---

    Directly after the events on System Collapse ART must enter drydock on a PSUMNT space port in order to receive necessary maintenance on its engines...Then a few more things happen.

    Summary

    Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.

    It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.

    And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...

    [MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]

    ...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

    Summary

    It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.

    Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.

    I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

    Summary

    Controllers aren't allowed to name our Units, so I call them 1, 2, and 3. We've been together since I was 12. I got a commendation sixty cycles ago, just before we left for this mission, because I've gone longer than any other Controller without losing a Unit.


    There was a human HubSys on the Barish-Estranza Explorer.

    Summary

    Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.

     

    Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.
