    Summary

    The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

    It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

    Summary

    It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.

    Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.

    I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

    Summary

    The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

    Summary

    Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
    We aren’t most people.
    (Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
    Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.)

    Summary

    “I could have just stayed in the argument lounge.”

     

     

    You were not recharging there, you go into standby and become alert at the slightest disturbance. You need to recharge in a place that feels safe.

     

     

    It crosses its arms, gearing up to fight me about what is very obviously a trauma response. I interrupt it.

     

     

    Aside from my main processing space this is the safest location on my self.

    SecUnit is not recharging while it's staying in ART's argument lounge, so ART decides to do something about that by making it stay in its own quarters.
