Summary
In 1965, Jules Tivoli figures it’s time to find love again. After all, it’s been long enough since he’s left America—times are changing (and he’s getting older) so what’s the harm?
Just one more round… Maybe he can trust someone again like he did all those years ago.
It turns out, fate has deigned him to meet that person he says destroyed him for one last encore.

Summary
SecUnit survived. Barely. Recovery isn’t in its programming, and neither is letting anyone help—especially not a massive, emotionally overclocked research transport that won’t stop watching and clients, of all things. But being back on ART isn’t the same as being okay. Every system check, every word, every too-quiet silence grates like a glitch. It wants things to go back to normal. But there’s no protocol for what comes after being saved.

For me it was just someone looking at my code and my kernel operations to copy them. That was all it was. Clinical. A bit embarrassing. It was all business.
To ART, though, this was all pleasure.

Summary
I can feel amusement in the not-feed. It’s not ART. ART’s not here. Isn’t coming back. I knew that so it knew that. We were angry about that. I mean it was angry. Was I angry? It didn’t matter. It wants ART, it wants to be free.
Sorry 2.0. I think I did fuck it up.
In Network Effect Three and ART get to Murderbot in the nick of time to save it from targetControl.
What if they didn't?

Summary
6.83 hours after the incident, it is quiet on the command deck. My drones have cleaned all traces of blood and fluid from the deck and MedSystem is set to high priority in the front of my feed. And SecUnit sits in the same chair it always does. It's sunken into the cushioning, so still it could be in a shutdown, but I can of course feel that it's awake. I haven't let it out of arm's reach since last night.
We are quiet for a long time.
We have to talk about this, I say eventually.
It takes 18 seconds to respond.
We do not, it says with finality.

Summary
"I wont deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do, So I try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you." - Hozier, Talk
ART wants to be prepared for every eventuality. Especially the eventualities that involve SecUnit willingly getting back into its MedBay. It has started simulating surgical protocols, making sure its medical programs align with SecUnit's physiology, so that when the time comes to perform certain operations, the chances of success will be at a maximum.
No other reason.

Summary
After Addison, Arthur and John didn't go to New York - they just went home, and set up shop in as PIs in Arkham. Now several months later, having completed work for a wealthy client, they find themselves invited to a fancy dinner party with New England's elite occultists. But among the rich and famous diners are two unexpected guests: "Andrew" Larson, Arthur's one time nemesis, and Peter Yang, back from the dead but not quite right. After an awkward dinner, and an introduction to a mysterious supernatural artifact, a corpse is discovered. It's up to Arthur and John to solve the murder and stop the artifact before it unleashes its eldritch magic on them all.
Or is it? Maybe instead, Arthur and Peter fool around in the back room and they miss the drama. Maybe Arthur and John can stop the murder entirely. In this Choose Your Own Adventure there are multiple endings and more than one way to make it to midnight.

Summary
Arthur, what the hell is going on? Why can't I see anything?! John yelled and he was back, Arthur thought, feeling dizzy and giddy at the same time, not quite knowing if it was because of his injuries or because of happiness. He was back. He had John back.
Where are we? What did you do? Another voice then suddenly in his head though and it was John's voice.
And not John's voice.
Arthur, John said slowly. Who is that? I am the King in Yellow, Yellow hissed. Who are you?
