Summary
Ratthi, Pin-Lee, and Gurathin are stranded neck-deep in enemy territory, their leader kidnapped, with not enough funds and even fewer good choices.
And then someone offers them a way out.
Only question; should they trust it?

Summary
Murderbot does not like to touch humans. They're sweaty and smelly and uncomfortable, and worse than all of that, there's always some voice whispering at the back of its head about what they might do, if you let them get that close.
So it isn't sure how to respond to the sudden inexplicable need to touch that has cropped up seemingly out of nowhere.

Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.
