Summary
Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.
Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.

Summary
Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.
It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.
And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...
[MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]
...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

Summary
(I had a bit of a moment there, but I think I deserved it. The governor module, as ever, disagreed and its warning zap had me reviewing the last few seconds of video to formulate a reply before the pain set in.)
“This unit has never been designated ‘Rin’ in the past, but will now answer to that as per client request.”

Summary
People get attached to things, their clothes, their vehicles, that funny stone they found on the beach as a child. Sometimes even their SecUnits. To the SecUnit in question this is an unsettling new process.
[OCs stuck in one of those shitty mining facilities we keep hearing about]
[Murderbot doesn't show up until chapter 30. It's all OCs before then.]
