The Clothes off Its Back by Scarlet_Tanager

Summary
When Three's pulmonary system is compromised during a mission, Murderbot lets it borrow one of its lungs. Shenanigans ensue.
We were planning to tell ART about the lung situation right after I took a recharge cycle, I promise. But then one thing led to another and before we knew it we were standing at the airlock, ready to be deployed on our next mission.

Summary
Five times SecUnit's humans saw that it loved ART and one time Iris saw it too.
---
Or,
It is common knowledge that Perihelion is an obsessive psychopath when it comes to being right, and that it is similarly obsessive over producing high-quality empirical evidence to vindicate itself (whether anyone else even cares that much or not).
It is not common knowledge that its sister has, unfortunately, also picked up this habit.
So when SecUnit disagrees with Iris over something and watches her turn around and leave without argument, it has no idea what is coming.
Well, kind of.

“You’ll think I’m so stupid,” she said. “And it will piss you off. So brace yourself.”
I was used to being pissed off. I made a face, but assumed myself sufficiently braced.
“I have tattoos of corporate logos.”
I had not been sufficiently braced.// Murderbot and Pin-Lee being Murderbot and Pin-Lee. Now featuring two (2!) dogs.

Murderbot thinks it's bullshit that its injuries are documented in the post-mission debrief. ART has something to say about that.
Written for the New Tidelands server writing workshop. Prompt: slip of the tongue

Summary
“I don't remember what I did,” I said, rallying enough to try and sound annoyed, despite the fact I was completely shaken. “So can I go back to my bunk and let you yell at me when I know what you're yelling at me about?”
If you try to leave this room before we have had this discussion, ART said, its voice barely able to stay even, Three will shoot you. Nonlethally. But it will shoot you.
I paused for three whole seconds.
“Okay,” I said.

You can’t be this stupid, ART said, which was insulting but also relieving, because it never talked to me that way during the trauma treatment. Maybe this wouldn’t turn into a BARF after all. Turn off your governor module, you idiot. It’s giving you brain worms.

I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

In a shockingly accurate imitation of the voice ART uses to talk to humans, Iris intoned, “The vacation protocol is now in effect.”

The thing was I knew it was stupid. All of it, all of the parts. Especially the part where I was even considering it. But ART didn’t have to ask.
And I didn’t have to let it in, so I did.

Three observes that the humans on board The Perihelion do not touch SecUnits. This does not upset it. Of course not. That would be a strange thing to be upset about.

Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].
(Or: Murderbot has Emotions for 8,000 words. ART tries to help. So does Dr. Mensah, but like, in a decidedly less assholish way.)

Summary
“I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
“Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
“Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.Bookmarked by egbo
