Summary
SecUnit will see through its drone views that Three is approaching the lounge, and slide down off its favourite padded chair onto the floor without ceremony. And Three, seeing it when it enters the room, will silently lie down next to it, shoulder to shoulder.
---
Or, how the floor becomes the foundation for: peace, friendship, security, and life.

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.)

Summary
"Guardian" is just a nicer word for "owner".
"Lost and unrecoverable" is just a nicer phrase for "blown to bits".Or maybe, Murderbot should have paid more attention to what they were really saying.

Summary
“Bones. No, hey, come on—”
Abruptly Jim swings himself up to straddle Leonard’s lap, cupping his face with both hands and forcing the eye contact Leonard’s been avoiding.
“You,” he says, with all the confident sureness of drunken best friends giving emotional pep talks everywhere, “are never, ever a distraction. You’re what matters. You’re why I’m even here, Bones. Okay?”

Or, the one where Jim is the captain now and he and Leonard need to work some things out.
