    Just what it says on the tin: five times Ratthi worried deeply about his friend, SecUnit, for one reason or another... and one time he was not worried at all.

    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

    “Did you bite one of them on the ear?”

    “Closest thing I could reach,” Ratthi says, sounding strangely cheerful. “Incidentally, you can actually bite off part of someone’s ear if you’re trying hard enough. Volescu was wrong about that one.”

    “I don’t think Volescu ever said anything about ears.” Once they’d gotten on jaw augments, the conversation had gone off the rails pretty quickly. If it had ever been on the rails to begin with. Which it hadn’t.

    It’s difficult to imagine Ratthi biting someone’s ear off. It’s also difficult to imagine Ratthi choking someone into unconsciousness, and Gurathin’s pretty sure that one also happened.

    When Gurathin volunteered to keep Ratthi company on the shuttle, he wasn't expecting the shuttle to get stolen with them on it. He wasn't expecting their captors to be both violent and idiots, and he really wasn't expecting the part where Ratthi bit someone holding an energy weapon.

    This would all be so much easier if he had augmented jaws.

    Summary

    SecUnit will see through its drone views that Three is approaching the lounge, and slide down off its favourite padded chair onto the floor without ceremony. And Three, seeing it when it enters the room, will silently lie down next to it, shoulder to shoulder.

    ---

    Or, how the floor becomes the foundation for: peace, friendship, security, and life.

    Summary

    “Yeah, let’s go over it later, I really need to get something to eat—oops, sorry, Peri!” Iris jerked to a sudden halt, trying to backpedal before she really kicked Peri’s cleaning drone instead of just bumping it.
