    Summary

    The recording starts in a wave of noise interference and a rhythmic sound of what was presumably running machinery on worksite. Then - unintelligible through the artifacts of the recording - vocalization from several people, arguing about something, trying to overshout the equipment. The noise suddenly levels out, leaving only some grounding thumps and hissing on the background.

    Then someone begins singing.

    Summary

    Why do humans call it a crush, anyway? I’ve seen actual crushing, and it’s not romantic; it’s not even vaguely appealing. In fact, it’s pretty horrific. Same for when humans describe love as “falling” for someone, or say they’re “drowning” in sensation. I remain convinced that most of my Preservation humans are simply too naïve to know what these things actually feel like. But, speaking as someone who has fallen, drowned, and been crushed (although, thankfully not all at once), I can say with authority that being with Gurathin is nothing like that.

    - - -

    A series of glimpses into Murderbot exploring its sexuality and the experience of shared touch with Gurathin. The first chapter is pretty mild, but the series will earn its explicit rating in later installments. This work lives in the same world as the first work in the series (Virus), but can be read standalone.

    Summary

    Anyway, it had mostly just been the company reps talking about confidential things in terms I didn’t understand (what the hell was “appropriate division of assets”, anyway?) while me and the other SecUnit just stared at each other.
    I thought about pinging it.

    Murderbot thinks. Mostly about media. (A lot about loneliness.)

    Summary

    Now armed with something to contain Gurathin's leaking fluids, I enter the lab. He accepts the proffered facial tissues with a grateful look, and then proceeds to make a series of somehow even more disgusting noises as he expels his (copious) mucus into sheet after sheet of the thin paper. When he's finally finished, a small mountain of wadded up tissue sits in the bottom of the recycling bin. I discharge one of my energy weapons to incinerate it as a biohazard.

    “Woah! Okay, I'm not sure that was entirely necessary…”

    “You're sick, Gurathin. Return to your quarters and stop spreading your contaminants across the station.”

    –––

    Gurathin has a cold. MurderBot is very bravely overcoming the gross, human, fluid-related ick to care for him, while also trying to figure out why it wants to do that in the first place. Emotions ensue (to everyone's great concern / displeasure).

    Summary

    Distantly, Gurathin remembered the union snipers on the upper floors, the drone clouds they'd all coded in case of emergency. The dull ache of his body, sharper on the side of his head, was fighting the painkillers he'd gotten loaded on beforehand. His feed was a panorama of warnings and the empty boxes of blocked ads.

    He was cannon fodder with no actual conviction, an indentured systems engineer with expensive augments. The SecUnit advancing over his sprawled shape hadn't come for him - Not really.

    Summary

    Amena has a sponsored educational trip along with 5 of her friends to a research station somewhere in the Corporation Rim.

    She doesn't technically need a bodyguard, as no one knows who she is, especially not the daughter of a planetary leader.

    Unfortunately, she doesn't feel comfortable going alone, so instead of her immediate family members, or Ratthi, or Arada, or any of the other humans who might like to shepherd her and a group of annoying adolescents, she asks me.

    Me.

    This is going to be a massive clusterfuck.

    Summary

    "Anyways. I've joined the savior to kill a monarch to end a curse to save a magic country to hopefully buy some time and distract myself before ART comes to rescue me.

    Yeah, I don't know how I manage to get into these situations either."

    ----

    In which Murderbot crash lands it's stolen transport unit onto a country called Vaugarde, and has to find a way to spend it's time before rescue arrives. Thankfully, the planet is doomed, and the local Savior has some good media recommendations, so there's plenty of work to be done before Murderbot loses it's mind to boredom.

    Summary

    After the recovery comes requalification.

    But what does that even mean, when you don’t have corporate overlords to answer to?

    Oh, and the drone is getting major upgrades. Nothing to be nervous about right?

    Summary

    Murderbot is contracted to provide security on a cargo run within the Corporation Rim when a distress call comes in. The crew choose to ignore its entirely reasonable warnings about quarantining alien remnants, so it takes matters into its own hands.

    Summary

    I expect I could achieve states of boredom humans couldn't even dream of. This comes with not being considered enough of a person to get bored.

    Boredom hadn't changed since I hacked my governor module, but now my brain didn't get flash fried when my attention started to wander.

    Summary

    I hate these clients. Worse, this is a months-long survey of this murderous planet. I’ve decided that I fucking hate planets.
    Since being unloaded as cargo and starting this contract 5 days ago, my governor module hasn't been activated. I think I’m starting to believe that it won’t somehow activate itself at this point. While usually I meet my clients prior to the start of the contract, this time I was not activated until the contract was set and all the cargo (yes, including me), was unloaded on the planet.
