    Summary

    I shouldn't take it personally that everyone loved Three. It was just better than me. At everything: Kicking my ass, not being a pile of anxiety, getting along with humans... just, everything.
    It was fine. It was fine, right?
    So if it was fine, the problem wasn't with being a SecUnit, the problem was with me. I didn't like that and I definitely didn't want to talk about it.

    A short story about SecUnit seeing how well Three is doing, and what that must mean about itself. Get cared for, idiot.

    Summary

    This wasn't how I'd planned things. Somehow, I'd always pictured something more orderly. Something less deadly. Obviously my escape couldn't be bloodless, not if I were to stand any chance of getting away clean, but I had thought that the casualties might stay in the single digits. One or two dead humans to screen me, and then one more when I got what I wanted.

    That "when" was starting to look more like an "if."

    Summary

    While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.
    - - -
    People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?
