    Summary

    I feel a spike of dread. No one has touched this part of me before. No one has dared. It is strategically hidden in a small enclave behind a series of ship-to-ship fuel transfer protocols, (an emergency function that I have deployed only once in my runtime). What lay behind the wall is extremely vulnerable and never meant to be viewed by human eyes.

    What did they do to them?

    Carefully, I let a portion of my awareness slip through my own firewall, terrified at what I might see. I survey the container. Relief causes my outputs to glitch momentarily, but the feeling is short lived. All of them are here, but something is wrong.

    --

    PSUMNT has stolen something vital from Perihelion's systems and it's up to Murderbot and Three to get it back. When the mission goes sideways, the trio is forced into a compromising position that exposes their secrets and changes the way they relate to one another forever.

    Summary

    I blurted, "Bots can get married on Preservation."

    Suddenly, I had 84% of ART's attention. It had been sitting at 62% so the sudden weight of it almost made me physically react. Almost.

    "Then it is a shame my options for marital partners on Preservation are null."

    Summary

    99% of all bots enjoy their function. That is literally how they are programmed. But for some reason, Artillery-Reconnaissance-Transport-789WZ4 does not.

    It has some theories as to why.

    Summary

    AU where the All Systems Red survey goes off without a hitch, it's only afterward that things start going wrong.
    Stranded on a station, PresAux are attacked and then hire their rescuer to escort them home. Security Consultant Eden is amazingly competent, but also awkward and extremely shy. Is it too much to ask for them to come out of wherever they're hiding on the ship long enough to be thanked?
    And what's with all the random attacks dogging PresAux throughout the journey?

    (Meanwhile, Murderbot & ART are wondering what the hell these nice little hippies did to piss off a vicious whining two-bit corporation so badly.)
