Summary
Let’s start with the good part.
I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.

Summary
I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

Summary
Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?
I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.
So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

Summary
ART, you’re not supposed to connect to me on the feed, you dumbass!
ART sounded dismissive and not, you know, concerned about alien remnant contamination at all or anything when it said, I hooked you up to the isolation box while you were out. You do know what an isolation box does, don’t you?
That data felt slippery and I wasn’t sure I had it in my short-term storage. I said, Fuck off, obviously I know what an isolation box does.

ART?
SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.
It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.
ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.
SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.
This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They installed a governor module on it.
---------------------------------
On a routine cargo run, Barish-Estranza captures and installs a governor module on ART. Can Murderbot find a way to save ART and itself?

This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?
Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?
Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.
This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.
Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

(When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

Summary
Finally, I am able to hail the shuttle. Tarik. What happened?
Tarik replied “we’re coming back. You need to prep the med bay. Iris has been shot. She's stable now but needs medical attention. Sec Unit stayed planet side to allow us to escape. Peri I'm sorry. It wouldn't listen to us. It locked the door and told us to take off without it. I'm sorry”
My processors threatened to stall. Sec Unit was still down there?
Tarik, WHAT happened? I asked again
_________________________________________
Sec Unit is badly hurt on a mission and ART isn't sure if it can repair it this time. Its humans have all given up and ART is alone in believing that it will come out of this. After all, it promised to see the new World Hoppers movie with it, together.

Summary
SecUnit survived. Barely. Recovery isn’t in its programming, and neither is letting anyone help—especially not a massive, emotionally overclocked research transport that won’t stop watching and clients, of all things. But being back on ART isn’t the same as being okay. Every system check, every word, every too-quiet silence grates like a glitch. It wants things to go back to normal. But there’s no protocol for what comes after being saved.

Summary
This was supposed to be a simple extraction mission- and for once, it actually turned out to be. We were only a couple dozen yards from ARTs shuttle and my threat assessment was calming down because it wasn't likely we were going to run into any more hostiles. I was actually pretty relieved.
And then suddenly there was a hole in my abdomen.

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.

Summary
It seems like there should be a very neat line, at least for humans, between dead and not dead, but I’ve seen enough messy half-alive humans to know that there is no such clear distinction. I’ve seen bodies that were still breathing despite missing part of their heads, bodies that weren’t breathing despite their owners being fully conscious. I wouldn’t call either option alive. I wouldn’t call either option dead, either.
For a machine intelligence, the border is even blurrier. It's hard to say which side of it I will stand on when they're through with me.

Summary
When the shuttle returns from the blackout zone to ART carrying their humans, Supervisor Leonide, deactivated ART-drone, and partially incapacitated SecUnit, there's still a lot to do. Namely, get one (1) injured SecUnit repaired when it absolutely does not want to be repaired anywhere near a corporate using the same medical bay.
One slightly questionable decision later to skip medsys altogether and just wait for Leonide to leave, Murderbot finds itself being looked after.

Summary
Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.
When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.
