    Summary

    Murderbot hasn't endured weapons maintenance since before it met its crew. (It hadn't really planned on re-living the pain of weapons maintenance ever again, if it was being honest.)

    But when ART notices an issue with one of Murderbot's energy weapons, it offers its services. You know, mutual administrative assistant things.

    ART's approach is a little different than the company's.

    Summary

    Let’s start with the good part.

    I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
    The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.

    Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.

    Summary

    I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.
