Summary
I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.
There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.
That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.
Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.
Written in response to the mention in Network Effect of drugged augmented humans, and subsequent discussions in New Tideland.

Summary
I’d locked eyes with Mensah, looking like that. My energy weapons had deployed, without my awareness or direction. My targeting systems had identified her and Bharadwaj, quite insistently, as direct and immediate threats.
Maybe this is just a temporary, dangerous, system glitch, and a hard restart will fix me. I’ll just restart, comb through my code, do some debugging, find the corrupted files or whatever, and then I won’t indiscriminately murder my most trusted humans.
I should know by now to always assume the worst.
In which SecUnit is having some survival threat…response errors. And some…’targeting its humans’ malfunctions. And some…blackouts when restarting. I’m sure it’s fine.

Summary
Ryland Grace is the first human to ever live on an exoplanet, and this was not an eventuation that was planned for.
This post-canon fic follows the teething issues of life on Erid: alien engineering and mechanics, the eventual sequelae of malnutrition, and the psychological effects of being very, very far from human touch.
Despite all this, Dr. Grace might just be the only human alive who feels more at home in the company of aliens than he ever did on Earth.
No-one is quite sure what to do with that.

Summary
I have a total of forty-two drones aboard ART. (Okay, the Asshole Research Transport that I’m on is actually called Perihelion, but seeing as it threatened to melt my neural tissue when we first met and later kidnapped me, I’d say it’s more than earned the nickname.) Thirty one of them are small intel drones no more than a centimeter across, ten are bigger, standard-sized scout drones, and one is a large, newly-constructed ops drone, with extendable arms used for manipulating the environment that unfold out from its central, oval-shaped body. It’s a lot like the drone that ART piloted on that stupid fucking alien-remnant-contaminated planet, although it probably won’t be as much of a sarcastic asshole.
Kidding. I’ll still be the one operating it.
Whatever. The point is, I have all of these drones, and I still didn’t see her coming.
"Excuse me. Can I draw you?"
****
We know the next book will feature Dr. Mensah's children, which made me think about how Murderbot might get along with a child like my daughter. This story is the result of me giggling too much about it.
