    Summary

    Murderbot is locked in a cell, and its memories of the recent past have been wiped. The cell in front contains a group of humans that feel familiar.

    With nothing left to do, it thinks about these humans and gives them imaginary lives, because real life doesn't seem to be headed for a happy ending.

    Summary

    It didn’t surprise me when the ship left without me. It didn’t surprise me when the SecUnit standing beside me shuddered and died either. At least they left me a shuttle.

    Summary

    Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.

    What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.

    The answer was probably a solid "both".

    All of my organic parts told me to run.

    Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.

    Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
    Gender: fem-neutral

    I shoved the feed ID at ART.

    The negotiator?, it asked.

    She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

    Summary

    I held it for a long moment and waited for ART’s litany to run out of steam. When it finished, it did the bot equivalent of taking a deep breath, then said, I am so mad at you.

    “I got that.” I know I’m not great at the emotions thing but even I could figure out ART was pissed at me from the raging storm of its feed presence and, you know, all the insults. “Why?”

    Occasionally, the University of Mihira and New Tideland has to push their supremely powerful MIs to their limits.

    ART has passed every test so far and the whole affair goes fine for everyone involved.
