ART takes a ride along on-station to witness a bit of anti-corporate espionage up close and personal. There's just nothing quite like watching its partner-in-crime do what it does best.

Summary
6.83 hours after the incident, it is quiet on the command deck. My drones have cleaned all traces of blood and fluid from the deck and MedSystem is set to high priority in the front of my feed. And SecUnit sits in the same chair it always does. It's sunken into the cushioning, so still it could be in a shutdown, but I can of course feel that it's awake. I haven't let it out of arm's reach since last night.
We are quiet for a long time.
We have to talk about this, I say eventually.
It takes 18 seconds to respond.
We do not, it says with finality.

Summary
It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.

Summary
Perihelion’s crew had first met Murderbot’s crew under stressful circumstances. An upcoming Preservation festival stood to serve as a more peaceful gathering.
Or, even though half of Murderbot’s humans had already met Perihelion’s crew, it was amusing to watch SecUnit insist that Gurathin not bring “that dish that no one likes” to the gathering.

Summary
“I see now why 1.0 complains about SecUnit depictions in media,” Three said sourly.
-
Bookmark Notes:
“Well, that was unpleasant,” [Peri] said. “My apologies, Three, I was not screening for such content. SecUnit does not usually let me filter for violence against SecUnits in our media.”
“Violence?” said Three, quirking an eyebrow. “No. The violence is acceptable. It is the lack of realism.”

Summary
Murderbot doesn't believe plants count as clients, but as it escorts ART in a cultural exchange between Preservation and the Pansystem, with ART transporting multiple cargo modules of native Preservation flora to the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland, maybe there's something to all that foliage Murderbot can come to understand.

Summary
I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

Summary
“Media by a SecUnit for a SecUnit!” she said, and then kicked herself. Had that been too peppy? She didn’t want to deter it by being too enthusiastic.

Summary
“SecUnit, what’s your favorite smell?” Double ugh. How the fuck was I supposed to answer this without being rude?
“I like it when there isn’t a smell.” There, that was a positive spin on my negativity, I guess. Maybe I should have lied, though. Everyone in the shuttle was frowning to some degree. Way to bring down the mood, Murderbot.
“You don’t like any smells?” Iris asked.

Summary
“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

Bookmark Notes:
Forgot to bookmark the first fic in the group gotta go back n do that but, my god finally some good fuckin combat unit content, also Eden is a nice take on confort units cause the one we get in cancon is kinda what is expected but the other hand we get micky. While being a human formed bot, it has a more human feel to its interactions to me even tho we never get discriptors of micky having human like movement.
But Eden's conversations and movement really nail the feeling of being comfortable in ones skin while still being 100% knowing of unit issues. Just really like the character.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
“You have seen all fictional media with SecUnits,” Three said in a smug voice. “This is from a documentary. It is a fictional recreation, but it is from media that you would have skipped.”
SecUnit didn't respond. Iris was politely looking away from it, but its silence felt intrigued.
“And,” said Three, “it's heroic.”
