Summary
ART is a bit of a bully on the feed. MB is having none of it.
Enormous thanks to ArtemisTheHunter and Gamebird for beta-ing and encouragement!
Inspired by this from “Receipt Delay":
"...it wasn’t going to notice something neither ART nor I did.
But no matter how many times I had responded to security updates with a polite acknowledgment, or ART had responded with a much less polite uncompressed packet of its hundreds of thousands of constant status update logs, the data stream had not stopped."- Language:

Summary
Murderbot usually meets with Bharadwaj in her office. She wants to try something different today.
Yeah, talking about feelings is gross and stupid, but maybe it's not absolutely the most awful thing ever to talk about them with Bharadwaj. At least not always.

Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.
When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.

Summary
"Why is this so much worse than other things?" She pushed herself up on one elbow. "I saw SecUnit literally in pieces during the Adamantine thing. Twice."
"I've seen it in worse physical shape too," Ratthi said. He stopped and coughed. "But it always went down fighting. I think that's what's different."None of Murderbot's friends were happy about the human hanging around it at the club, but no one was expecting the night to go just this wrong.

Summary
They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.
Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.
«You got them out,» it says.
And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»
I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.
So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

Summary
Did you take this from my head, I said. I was angry, really angry, now that I knew ART wasn’t compromised and was starting a fight for no damn reason.
Of course not, it snapped.
Where did you get it, then.
I found more fragmented data in unused buffers and am trying to piece it together to remember what happened to me. Oh. I took a breath.
Why are you reading my emotional outburst, I said. You already talked to my human about it and everything.
I’m not specifically reading your emotional outburst, it snapped. But it’s about me. It happened on me.---
Before everyone gets back to Preservation safely, ART and Murderbot have time to talk.

Summary
Murderbot participates in a Preservation holiday gift exchange where it has to hand make something for one of its humans.
There are three problems with this:
1) It draws Mensah's name, of all people
2) It has no idea how to make anything
3) And it's not even sure it's capable of such a thing, seeing as its a terrifying rogue murderbot and all.It's a good thing it has humans who can help it.

Summary
Murderbot accompanies Ratthi, Pin-Lee, and Amena on a trip to the set of Sanctuary Moon. What should have been an easy contract turns into a broken set SecUnit, a murder mystery, and a little bit of trauma, but Murderbot doesn't have to do this all on its own.
