Summary
"I don't carry a weapon," she said.
"I know."
"The poster implies-"
"I know what it implies." It paused for a beat, very long for a SecUnit, probably. "You carry other things. I didn't know how to draw those."

Summary
They've cleared a little space in the Argument Lounge, SecUnit and Perihelion. Adya heard Perihelion's speakers fill the space with soft music as she approached SecUnit with a hand extended in invitation.
They are stars in a constellation, not touching but still inexorably connected...

Summary
On an unremarkable day, Dr. Mensah noticed SecUnit's drones hovering unusually close to her skin.
Without access to a MedSystem, SecUnit had been personally monitoring Mensah's moles (and other health data, just in case). When Mensah noticed SecUnit's very practical scrutiny, it turned into a little bonding moment.

Summary
Being left unobserved to just do my job was... nice.
It was nice. This was a nice contract. I didn't think those two words could be put together in that order.
(Or; Murderbot's latest group of clients are weird. They don't seem at all wary of the potential dangers of the planet, and they're both uncannily aware of how to navigate around SecUnit and completely heedless of the very real threat it poses. Which could mean nothing at all.)

Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

The Price of Freedom is an Incident Report by biorusted

Summary
This is not the first time Leonide has been guided to the Argument Lounge. Since her first arrival I have had drones marked on her position at all times, though this will be the first time we are in the same room together.
Oh. Perhaps this is why Perihelion and SecUnit M.1.0 told me Leonide’s destination. With a non-functioning governor module, I could leave the room without telling anyone why or where I am going.
Still, I do not leave.
