    Summary

    I’ve never understood people’s fears about “dying alone” meaning they didn’t want to die single. Almost no humans I know of perished at the exact same time as their romantic partners unless they were both caught in the same catastrophic shuttle crash or something.

    As for me, I never wanted to “die alone” meaning I got abandoned on an alien planet by my clients because it was too much of a pain to load the broken leaking SecUnit into the cargo hold. So, yunno. Perspective.

    Summary

    “I’m due to perform another cargo run once we complete the handoff to Holism,” ART said. “It will be my usual route, including a stop at RaviHyral.”

    I stared up at the ceiling, and the letter from the ComfortUnit. Having free will is a pain in the ass sometimes.

    Three messaged me over the feed. “The ComfortUnit needs help.”

    My human-imitation code cued me to blink. Three’s drone was creeping closer to my face. Three hadn’t initiated many conversations yet, so this was notable.

    I responded to its channel, “Yeah, but I don’t know if I’m the right one to help.”

    3.03 seconds passed. Then Three said, “I can help. I’ll go.”

    Summary

    Murderbot is on a critical mission: investigate and infiltrate the media conglomerate WarFlix, the organizer for the annual GlobeCon Event.

    The fact that the head show-runner for The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon is a guest of honor at this year’s GlobeCon is a total coincidence.

    Summary

    Three came around the side of the house and stomped up to me on the porch.

    It said, with its mouth, “SecUnit, will you go to the Great Makeba Wilderness Preservation Area with me?”

    Needless to say, this was when my vacation took a horrible turn.

    Summary

    Soulbond plots were rarely interesting in media, and I was even less interested in understanding their touchy-feely relationship ramifications in real life humans. So I didn’t give a shit.

    Until suddenly I was forced to give a lot of shits.

    Summary

    “We need to get married,” ART declared. “Just sign these documents.”

    It shoved a stack of feed documents at me obnoxiously, with multiple parts of the document highlighted and asking for my feed signature.

    “ART, quit distracting me when I’m busy."

    Summary

    The reason you want a SecUnit overseeing a cohort of pupae is that about one in thirty human instars is liable to hatch into a carnivorous wasp, and you don’t want those suckers to turn and start cannibalizing all the other pods. You can have a serious loss of worker capital on your hands.

    Summary

    Pin-Lee said she was going to a “fire festival” with Dr. Bharadwaj and would I like to come? There would be art, dance shows, music, and a play performed live, all involving pyrotechnics.

    (I’d submitted a request to be added to the volunteer fire response team, but it was denied because I was currently undergoing court-mandated therapy for “gross property damage and attempted construction of an explosive weapon blah blah blah.”) (It’s a long story.) (Actually it’s not even that long of a story, I just don’t want to get into it.)

    Summary

    The humans were chattering happily, someone mentioned snacks, lah-di-dah, just another boring workday poking around a rogue SecUnit’s brain. (I wish they’d handle this with a little more gravitas. Like, my life and freedom were ending here, could you show a little respect? I know that’s too much to ask, but still.)

    I didn’t know what the fuck they were about to do to me, but I bet it was going to start with reactivating my governor module and end with me wishing I was dead a thousand times over.
