    Summary

    While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.
    - - -
    People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?

    Summary

    No, it said. Original crew twenty-three. Now is only me.

    Wh- “Twenty-two of your people died?” It wasn’t just cynicism that made me wonder if it had killed them. How else did only one being survive the death of almost two dozen others? But then again, what were the chance of two murderers being the only hope of two civilizations’ survival?

    No. Twenty-three die.

    What.

    “You’re saying… everyone died.”

    A full octave lower: Yes yes yes.

    My first, admittedly stupid, thought was of that one haunted station episode in Farland Star Roads. Was this the ghost of a crew member? The reanimated corpse of a crew member? The vengeful, supernatural, demonic killer of-

    Nope, that was stupid. I needed more information.

    Summary

    Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”

    « Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »

    “Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.

    --

    Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

    Summary

    The most important relationships in ART's life are with the humans who raised it, and for whom it is now both home and friend. But ART lives almost entirely in the feed, where it is imperceptible to the humans unless it makes an active effort to be perceived. Struggling to be seen and understood, and to understand the humans who are its whole world, it turns to the thing it knows best: research.
