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
The last option involves closing down as many programs as I can get away with without shutting down, including the really important ones. It sounds terrifying, and it is. (Was.) (...Actually, who am I kidding, it’s still terrifying)

Summary
Okay, I'm stopping.
Three exhales until the smell of burning flesh dissipates. The room smells again like Perihelion’s MedBay, sterile and sanitized, every inch of the walls and floor meticulously cleaned. Pain still sears around its back, crackling like flame around its hip and up its spine. It suppresses a shudder.
Query: Is it over?
No, I've barely started. You sound like you're dying.
-
During a procedure to remove a logo in Three's organics, Perihelion stumbles onto an issue with Three's pain sensors.

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.
