    Summary

    SecUnit is staring at him. Ratthi accidentally makes eye contact again, and its gaze doesn’t dart away like it normally does. It stays locked onto his. Deliberately maintaining the eye contact.

    Ratthi flexes his hands. His skin is tacky with fluids and the webs of his fingers stick together. “You’re really worrying me, SecUnit. Talk to me. Tell me you’re okay.”

    “I’m okay,” SecUnit says immediately.

     

    (OR: After Murderbot is attacked by the company and has its governor module switched back on, it can’t speak freely to ask for help. It takes its friends a while to notice.)

    Summary

    Murderbot is at a party.

    This is not a normal state of affairs for SecUnits. Neither is the comfy clothes or the sitting or the way the humans keep smiling in its general direction. The smiling, it suspects, will stop, if/when they realise their SecUnit has suffered some sort of catastrophic glitch and has no idea where it is or the specifics of its current assignment.

    So it's not going to let them find out.

    Summary

    Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].

    (Or: Murderbot has Emotions for 8,000 words. ART tries to help. So does Dr. Mensah, but like, in a decidedly less assholish way.)

    Summary

    “Hello, Mr. Grace,” she said, not bothering to extend her hand out to greet him, “I’m Eva Stratt with the Petrova Taskforce which, if you are not otherwise aware, operates in tandem with the United Nations."

    Oh? The Petrova Taskforce? A short while before he’d fucked off to somewhere, Ryland had explained to Colt something about the Petrova Line, so it sounded distantly familiar. And incredibly not important to anything Colt would ever be involved in.

    He was confused.

    “Uh. Hi. You already know my name, so…”

    She raised an eyebrow for half a second, then lowered it again.

    “It was given to me by your brother, Dr. Ryland Grace.”

     

    (Ryland isn't taking care of himself. Eva Stratt enlists his twin brother Colt to do it for him.)

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
