Summary
The way ART’s systems are laid out, there’s a series of smaller reactors that power the non-engine portions of the ship. They feed into the engine’s power supply, but are still ultimately separate from it - the engine has its own, larger reactor, and only takes power from the smaller ones as backup (Far as I know, it can go the other way, too, but that’s not important.) I don’t know the details, and all that’s really important here is that some fuel maintenance had to be done on them, and I’m there too.
Matteo chatters idly as we walk, something about the reactor and its specs and the tritium-based fuel sludge used to feed ART’s smaller reactors. I keep them on one of my second processing tracks, and focus a larger part of my attention on the serial ART and I have up in the feed.
Overall, it was a pretty normal cycle.
Then, something changed once I entered the first reactor chamber.
___
SecUnit watches a reactor refuel, and it thinks to itself: "I think I huave malware."
Then, it has a crisis about it. -

Summary
“I am going-" I grab it by its stupid costume lapels and slam it into the ground, again and again, going on what has to be the fifth time. "- to make you shut up-" I land hit after hit on it, fists connecting with its face in wet crunches. "If it's the last fucking thing I do!"
The last punch breaks its nose with an unpleasant snap. It grunts and bucks under me, before going limp again. Its fingers spasm in their death grip on my hips, right along the augment seam, and I. Don't know what to think about that.
I pant harshly, fingers still fisted in its collar, and my other hand planted firmly beside its head. I'm waiting for it to do something, anything, in retaliation. I'm just waiting for it to fight back.
The only thing it does is let its face split in a slow grin. It lets out a low, wheezing chuckle. "I hope it is."__
In which Murderbot and ART are two superpowered individuals with a rivalry. It goes how one might expect. -

Positive Representation, Complex Emotions, and a Fictional but Semi-Heroic SecUnit in Media by BlatantBookworm

Summary
I don’t normally pay that much attention to the credits. In general, I tend to care more about the fictional characters than the real humans playing them, but this had caught my attention.
I mean, it wasn't the first serial that ever put in a SecUnit as a villain instead of a prop. RihaniLane Street had actually made their SecUnit villain sympathetic before it tried to kill everyone. And obviously this fictional SecUnit was going to be a villain, too, because they always were, but that scene was —
The credits said ‘Made and Produced in GoodNightLander Independent.’
Oh.-
Or, Murderbot has feelings about finding positive representation.
Mostly positive.
Even when humans try, they get SecUnits wrong in media.
(Not the murder, the murders were justified, but the writers made the fictional SecUnit like cubicles)
(It’s still pretty positive.)Series

Summary
Gurathin and Murderbot might still not be close, but that doesn't mean Gurathin won't help fix some malfunctioning code in its memory systems. He would have preferred to know what kind of memory it was beforehand, though.

Summary
The last option involves closing down as many programs as I can get away with without shutting down, including the really important ones. It sounds terrifying, and it is. (Was.) (...Actually, who am I kidding, it’s still terrifying)
