Summary
I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.

Summary
Returning anywhere after six years spent away would be hard on anyone, and this time's no different. Add to that both Murderbot's biggest personal shitstorm yet and the fate of the entire Jaeger programme (and thereby humanity) suddenly finding itself balancing on a cliff's edge, and yeah... shit. That's some fucking damage.
(Not to mention the several millions that are accrued in damages over the course of this fic)
In other words, the Murderbot Diaries Pacific Rim AU!

Bookmarker's Notes
A++++
The Main Character Death is not about the OT3, it's just the fic version of a canon MCD in Pacific Rim.
Endgame ART/MB/G but not very shippy so far, rather enemies-to-friends and action/adventure.

Summary
This story is best understood if you have read Desire, Technically, where it would fit into the middle of chapter 19. It tells what happened as Gurathin goes through lethal withdrawal from the addictive drugs the company gave him to ensure his loyalty as a spy.
For those who have not read Desire, Technically, know that in this AU, Gurathin was a company technician who specialized in repair of constructs who had problems the cubicle couldn't fix. These were primarily mental issues, which is how he got Murderbot, who was not nearly as good at being an undetected rogue as it imagined.
Gurathin freed it but was captured in the process, tortured, and turned into a semi-expendable spy. Murderbot escaped, had Artificial Condition adventures with ART, then returned to find and free Gurathin. It found him, but he was addicted. They made a bargain with Preservation for them to do their best to help him survive the withdrawal.
And here we are.

Summary
The humans were doing something stupid, but what else is new. "Hide and seek" Amena called it, and who knows why they did it (who knows why humans do anything, let's be honest). Anyway, I'd been sitting in this tree for 27 minutes and I was winning.

Summary
"It's wrong to think of a construct as half bot, half human. It makes it sound like the halves are discrete, like the bot half should want to obey orders and do its job and the human half should want to protect itself and get the hell out of here. As opposed to the reality, which was that I was one whole confused entity, with no idea what I wanted to do."
Six months into its new life aboard the Perihelion, Murderbot has settled into a comfortably aloof routine with its mutual administrative assistant, ART. Then a new crew member arrives and a survey mission goes catastrophically wrong, uncovering a corporate conspiracy that hits closer to home than anyone expected. As events spiral out of control, a harrowing mystery, the indifferent cruelty of the Corporation Rim and (ugh) its own inconvenient emotions all conspire to force Murderbot to reevaluate what it really wants from the universe and what it means to live in a world of bots and humans when you're neither.

Summary
Gurathin is being a little weird again, and Murderbot is being so so normal about it. It doesn't have time for whatever the hell this is, but then it doesn't have time for anything else when Gurathin ends up infected with a deadly biotech virus.
Aka: The SecUnit is still fairly monosyllabic but... The chapter in which Gurathin can't get a word in edgewise anyway.

Summary
At a party to celebrate the anniversary of SecUnit's liberation from the company, everyone is having a good time except Gurathin. For some reason, SecUnit's risk assessment module thinks that Gurathin being a mopey drunk is its problem to handle.
SecUnit only intentionally borked its governor module, but apparently risk assessment also got borked somewhere between the survey and SecUnit's arrival at Preservation Station. Still, it doesn't want the damn module yelping at it all night, so: time to see what the fuck Gurathin's problem is.

Summary
Ratthi persuades Murderbot and Gurathin to go on a survey trip to a planet with the ominous nickname of Spider Planet. Soon, troubles with corporates and the local fauna mean that SecUnit is earning its currency cards, but nothing SecUnit can't handle - until it can't.
"I’d like to say that at least things couldn’t get any worse, but whenever someone says that in the media things inevitably do get worse and that seems to be one of the things media actually gets right. Oh right. I just remembered how this gets worse: the only person who could help me was Gurathin."
