    Summary

    On impulse, Murderbot publishes some of its secret original fiction on a PSUMNT forum. This goes much better than risk assessment expected, and it makes some new friends, discovers things about itself, and forms a heated rivalry with an obnoxious user in the anonymous response thread who, despite vehement protests, comes to be known as the SecUnit Fucker.

    Summary

    SecUnit watched as Iris’ flashlight beam cut in front of it through the darkened hallway, nothing more than emergency lights illuminating their path. It walked in front, its boots crunching against broken pieces of artificial stone and other debris, faint markings on the ground barely guiding their path through the abandoned mining installation.

    Parts of SecUnit’s organics quivered in unease at the familiarity of the place, glimpses of neural memory threatening to push up into the front of its mind. It shoved them back as far as it possibly could. Its performance reliability dropped by a small margin, but it ignored it.

    Most corporate mining installations looked the same on the surface, that was all. They had the same above-ground habitats and construction that were made out of the cheapest materials from the lowest bidder. It was all the same.

    Summary

    In which Murderbot is critically injured and ART refuses to let go.

    Murderbot POV.

    Guaranteed happy ending after we are done suffering. Guaranteed no fic abandonment unless I'm hit by a bus.

    This is very indulgent hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    I had expected that the "ship in distress" might be trying to lure us into an ambush, because I'm paranoid like that. What I couldn't anticipate was those raiders bringing a harpoon to a space fight, and managing to impale me into ART's hull with one lucky shot.
