Summary
Murderbot is captured by the company. How lucky of them to get such a well-performing unit back to use in a new, experimental program. After all, after a few security updates and upgrades, it's just as good as new. Better, even!
(mainly going to be dealing with the fallout of this I think, my favorite part!)AKA: I decided to write the most self-indulgent thing I could possibly think of (while still having the courage to maybe post it eventually).
Mind the tags! I like when my hurt and comforts hurts very badly before it comforts :3c The characters/tags will probably change as I get a better idea of where I'm going with this lol.

Summary
“Everything about the decision to proceed was weighted a thousand-fold. The stark fact was, what this would mean for Perihelion would not be the same as what it meant for SecUnit. There would be consequences, no matter what.”

Confirm System Upgrade-y/n? by SandSunSiliceousOoze

Summary
Perihelion had offered me a file detailing every surgical procedure and alteration it was authorized and certified to carry out. It had also offered me an encrypted file detailing the procedures and alterations it was in no way certified to carry out, but retained 98% confidence that it could do so with minimal risk to me.
In case you change your mind, it had said.
Thank you, I replied.
I did not open the files.

Summary
Rogue SecUnit maintenance is untread territory. It is much easier to keep a SecUnit functional when it has access to the infrastructure it was built to use. Without access, you must provide your own infrastructure to it.
“You didn't have to do that. I didn't ask for an update,” it grouses.
You're uncertain what it will take for your SecUnit to realize its need for this infrastructure.
In which ART is just trying to take care of Murderbot, and Murderbot is just trying not to overreact (read: panic, have a flashback, dissociate). And they get mad at each other instead of talking about it. That’s the whole fic.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.

Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)
