Summary
Nobody expects to time travel to happen outside of the entertainment feed, but twenty-two days into the PreservationAux survey reality decides that it prefers to circumvent expectations and drops an older version of Dr.Gurathin and someone called 'Rin' that's he's apparently married right into the middle of things.
Surely this is going to go well for everyone.

Summary
I come back from the dead.
Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?
What's going on? I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. What the fuck is going on—

Summary
She sighed. “No, I was referring to the marriage application submitted in your name?”
“What? In my name?”
“I take it you didn’t actually sign this application?” She sounded like she had suspected that was the case, even as she pulled up a very legal looking form that very clearly had my digital signature at the bottom. It had my name listed as First: Murderbot, Last: Mensah, and was also signed in the prospective partner field, a listed First: Art, Last: Perihelion. I glared menacingly at a nearby camera.
“Pin-lee, I’m going to call you back.”Or
ART has written a persuasive argument paper listing out the seven reasons It and SecUnit should get married.

Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.
