    Summary

    We had (somehow) survived GrayCris. There was just one problem. My humans kept calling me he now.

    I didn’t know what to make of this. It made me feel like they weren’t quite seeing me. Like at the beginning of the survey, when I first saved Bharadwaj and they started acting all team-y around me. But from the way they had talked, it was clear they didn’t understand what a SecUnit was. Instead, it was like I was their pet bot. It wasn’t until I blew LeeBeeBee’s head off that they realized they had been trying to befriend a murderbot. They saw me for what I was; a killing machine.

    When they said he, I hated it. It made my organics flinch. My performance reliability dropped a percentage each time. And it felt like the pet bot incident all over again; like they weren’t seeing me, but what they wanted to see. I didn’t want to be their pet bot, but I didn’t want to have to act like I was human either. Especially not some human man. Is that how they saw me? Is that what I would have to be now on Preservation?

    --
    In which Murderbot struggles with stupid human assumptions about gender, has a heart-to-heart with its favorite human, and submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    We had been at the base of the collapsed habitat section for approximately three minutes. Approximately, because one of the large, heavy bits of plasteel that had been raining down on us had knocked my system offline for the first minute or so.

    I was pinned beneath a large structural support, which was infuriatingly cliche, and had happened no less than three times in Strife in the Galaxy.

    Performance reliability at 42%.

    Mainly because I couldn’t stand up.

     

    Or, Murderbot and Gurathin trapped in a collapsed building.

    Summary

    Murderbot gets put in a box. This is totally fine, and it is coping really well. Thanks for asking.

    692,876 seconds had passed since they'd shoved me in this box, if you were wondering.

    Summary

    Kryptonite recovery never comes back evenly. When Clark's senses crash in all at once, sound and touch turning unbearable, Bruce knows better than to fix it. He stays.
