   Summary

   “What are we looking at, time-wise?” I ask.

   Three hours until full collapse, maybe two and a half before irreversible abstraction, and— For a moment, it pauses, but not as if it's nervous. It pauses in a way that punctuates its next statement. Two before you need to terminate my kernel.

   Lightning shoots up my spine. “I'm not doing that.”

   Summary

   "I don't like summaries because I already wrote the thing, writing it again with all the good sentences left out seems personally insulting somehow, but I'll do my best."

   Murderbot is having fun writing a fantasy space serial. But some of its fans bother it. Dr. Mensah looks at the problem from a different angle.

   Summary

   Originally written as a sexual fantasy of Gurathin's for a separate thing, then it took on a (small) life of its own. Don't look for, like, a lot of internal logic.

   Gurathin attempts to smuggle a drive full of data. Gurathin gets caught, by a SecUnit. The SecUnit finds the drive.
