    Summary

    They called Kip Mdang many things: pirate, freebooter, folk hero, villain. Imperial lapdog, now and then, although I'd never heard that twice. Nor did anyone who’d met him tend to repeat the epithet 'Seafarer King', though it was popular in Solaara.

    What if Kip went back to the pirates instead of the Palace, after his long voyage home?

    Then he chances across his Radiancy mid-quest in an Amboloyan eatery. And then he gets kidnapped.

    (Set post-Hands of the Emperor.)

    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    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.)
