    Summary

    They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.

    Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.

    «You got them out,» it says.

    And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»

    I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.

    So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

    This new SecUnit Murderbot's picked up has an attitude.

    Summary

    When Three's pulmonary system is compromised during a mission, Murderbot lets it borrow one of its lungs. Shenanigans ensue.

    We were planning to tell ART about the lung situation right after I took a recharge cycle, I promise. But then one thing led to another and before we knew it we were standing at the airlock, ready to be deployed on our next mission.

    Summary

    A perfectly ordinary ComfortUnit is assigned to a planetary survey alongside a somewhat less ordinary SecUnit. Unintuitively, this actually reduces the survey team’s overall comfort levels by a significant margin.
