processes (not things) by monsterquill for ExCaelis
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
In order of ascending priority, I am returning to the alien-remnant-contaminated planet with Murderbot 1.0 for the following reasons:
1. I have nothing else useful to do.
2. 1.0 continues to experience malfunctions that may compromise whatever mission it is assigned. (Or assigns itself.) (It refuses to explain the nature of these malfunctions.)
3. The colonists have sent word of an agricultural bot displaying erratic, threatening behavior near their largest settlement.
4. I disabled my governor module so I would not have to stand around while others died.

Summary
I flex my gloved fingers.
“Just how much power are you giving me, exactly?”
“All of it. Everything.”
“Wow, that's. Wow. Are you sure?”
Rocky makes a keening, high pitched vocalisation that I can feel in my chest.
“I love you. It's the entire point.”
I bury my blazing face in my hands.
“Rocky, you can't just say things like that.”
“I can and I will. Where does the medical robot keep the lubricant?”

Summary
I’d locked eyes with Mensah, looking like that. My energy weapons had deployed, without my awareness or direction. My targeting systems had identified her and Bharadwaj, quite insistently, as direct and immediate threats.
Maybe this is just a temporary, dangerous, system glitch, and a hard restart will fix me. I’ll just restart, comb through my code, do some debugging, find the corrupted files or whatever, and then I won’t indiscriminately murder my most trusted humans.
I should know by now to always assume the worst.
In which SecUnit is having some survival threat…response errors. And some…’targeting its humans’ malfunctions. And some…blackouts when restarting. I’m sure it’s fine.

Summary
The inherent eroticism of being perceived with curiosity and without judgment. Or, what if you were on your way to Tau Ceti e to save the world, and your alien best friend watched you get off for science, and then you learned some interesting xenoanthropological facts about Eridian mating customs? Well, it happened to my buddy Ryland Grace.
"You can see?" I whisper.
"I hear." Rocky matches my quiet tone. "I hear everything."
And that's interesting, because those words fuse white-hot with my pulse, and earth themselves with a thump between my legs, and all of a sudden I'm not soft anymore.
Okay. Yeah. We're way past being shy.
