Summary
When Gurathin sneaks away for a trip to the Corporation Rim that brings him right to the company's doorstep, Murderbot and ART don't hesitate to rush after him. Someone has to drag the idiot back home, after all. In the process Murderbot learns more about Gurathin's past than it ever cared to know—a past that quickly catches up with them, and puts them all in even more danger than anticipated.
Worst of all, Murderbot might find itself in the position where it has to admit that maybe it does like Gurathin. At least a little bit. Not in a weird way.

Summary
“It's supposed to be fake,” Amena said, “They can’t use real blood that would be insane.”
“I never said they should use real blood,” I replied, “I just suggested they do more research into what dead humans actually look like.”
Ratthi, Amena, Pin-Lee, and one of the dead human actors all turned towards me then and did various versions of blinking slowly.
“...Or they could research what they use in serials to make alive humans look like dead humans. That would probably be less traumatic. And more of a normal thing to do. I think.”
Ratthi nodded slowly. “You know what? I have to agree,” he said, as if I’d said something incredibly smart, and not at all stupid, or what could be read as mildly threatening.
In which Murderbot goes to a haunted attraction with its humans, makes some unhelpful commentary, and finds itself in a tense situation it doesn’t want to be in.
So a typical day, really.Bookmarked by figaroess

[What am I looking at?]
If Perihelion hadn’t seemed upset before, its voice, now devoid of its carefully rendered fluctuations would be a dead giveaway. [An initial scan of subcutaneous foreign bodies as they were, approximately, two and a half minutes ago. I am in the process of removing them.]
or: During routine repairs ART makes an unpleasant discovery, it tells Dr. Mensah about it. (She brings it up to SecUnit) (it is not thrilled)

"Transport, what happened here?"
I consider saying that I wish I fucking knew. I discard that potential response as unproductive.
