    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

    You are accustomed to a certain sense of helplessness. It is inevitable, as your designated role is to watch over those you hold within yourself. You can protect your crew from the vast, unforgiving vacuum of the universe outside of your hull, but you cannot protect them from danger that comes from within. You cannot save your SecUnit from itself.

    Summary

    Four rows back from the coffins JD leans in and whispers “How do you think he’d feel about a son who had a limp wrist with a pulse?” and it’s a joke but it’s also, you know, not a joke at all. She’s dead serious in the way that only jokes can be. Joking the way she only does when she means it.

    -

    Making JD a girl changes very little, and changes everything.

    Summary

    Local SecUnit reunites with former clients while visiting the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Former clients are delighted. SecUnit is not.

    ------------------

     

    If I were a smart murderbot, I wouldn’t have looked around. I would have kept on following Iris through the university courtyard and left well enough alone. If I were a dumber bot, I wouldn’t have looked around either. Because whoever had said that name was probably talking to someone actually named Eden, not a construct who had briefly borrowed that name from its favorite serial.
    But I’m just me, and I looked around.
