Summary
Pavel Chekov knows that working in Starfleet will be adventurous, but the incidents that his new crewmates keep referencing are surely too absurd to be real. (Spoiler alert: they’re not.)
Or: In which Chekov starts work on the Enterprise and discovers just how weird his new job is.

Or: Dr. Mensah, a few assorted adult humans, 28 juvenile humans, and a Murderbot go on a field trip.
(It's like no one even CARES that Murderbot hates planets!)

Summary
Planets are dumb and dangerous, but at this point I'd argued— okay, more like complained— complargued so many times that nobody except ART was still willing to argufy back.
(That stands for argue-pacify, in case it isn't obvious. I think it's not obvious. And no, I hadn't forgiven ART yet for saying I needed pacifying.)
Anyway, I was currently complarguing from my seat in the back of the snow-capable bot-driven transport heading out to the middle of nowhere, so I had the sneaking suspicion I'd lost the fight.
Murderbot accompanies its humans on a winter vacation. Then the storm hits.
