    Summary

    ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.

    I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.

    ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.

    It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

    Summary

    The ship says that it is my client.

     

    ---

    The ship that Murderbot hitches a ride with in Rogue Protocol decides it wants a SecUnit friend of its own, and manages to acquire one, with Ship itself listed as the client. With no humans on board, there's nothing to stop them from watching media together until the contract is up.

    Summary

    I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.

    This one was different.

    Summary

    When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.

    Summary

    ART tries to kill itself -- completely out of nowhere and over something entirely innocuous. Or was it simply the last straw?

    Pause. Roll back the tape. Let's see how we got here. And after that, let's figure out how to go on.
