Summary
Going through the report has his brain gears steaming. It's a lot. Logs of vessel depth, design and composition (iron mostly, with the other metal trappings of a human design with electrical cables), radiation output and source (x-ray and a buttload of it!), readings and scans of the biomass enveloping the vessel (a tree, of all things). More blood readings because the thing was utterly flooded with the stuff (same composition as the sample he coughed out, lovely to know and think about), and the final logs of the containment and quarantining of the vessel inside the Blip-A.
The team was coming back home to Erid, and in double time. Because Grace gets to the important part of the report. Perhaps the single most important one since he arrived on Erid.
They found another human inside the vessel.

Ever wondered what would happen if Simon brought along The Horrors™ with him into the PHMverse? Well, wonder no more! (It gets defeated by the power of friendship and altruistic science, is what happens. Please set your expectations to comical absurdism and have a good ride!)

Retracting my weapons, I made to step back around the bend in the corridor, but in that infuriating way humans often did, the pilot turned around just as I was moving out of view.
Fuck.
Fuck. ART said in the feed.
“BT…” the pilot breathed, “What the hell was that?”

Summary
Both the university and its crew agree - Perihelion is a good person, regardless of its capabilities for destruction. If asked, PresAux would also confirm, albeit their interpretation might differ.
Murderbot trusts it too, of course. Granted, ART doesn't think it would call it "good", but it knows it and it trusts it to do what is right, which is all ART really cares about (and what is "good" anyway but a human concept?).
Or, musings on the dangers posed by Perihelion inspired by two little book quotes.

Summary
“You have seen all fictional media with SecUnits,” Three said in a smug voice. “This is from a documentary. It is a fictional recreation, but it is from media that you would have skipped.”
SecUnit didn't respond. Iris was politely looking away from it, but its silence felt intrigued.
“And,” said Three, “it's heroic.”

Summary
SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

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.

Summary
“You can’t make me go,” Mikey blurts, too loud. “I won’t. I don’t want to.”
“Jesus,” Donnie mutters, rubbing his forehead. He’s already so fed-up with Mikey after like three seconds of conversation that Mikey can feel his eyes start to sting. “The last thing I want to do is fight with you, Mike. I thought you liked Cowabunga Carl.”
It’s not fair. Donnie’s so smart. He’s tired and overworked and unhappy, but he’s smart. How can he get this one thing so wrong? How can he not know Mikey as well as he used to, like all of those years of being each other’s best friends and co-conspirators and secret-keepers from where they were relegated to the “B Team” aren’t as intrinsic and important and fundamental to him as they are to Mikey? How can he look at Mikey, right in the face, and not understand him at all?
Something breaks.

"Orange turtles, man," he said, jumping closer to him. He opened his arms and waved them around so Dr man could get a better look. "I'm clearly an orange turtle." He turned "Can't you see this awesome shell?"

Summary
“It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
“For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
“Fuck off, ART.”
“You fuck off.”
So, I decided to go on the survey.Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

Summary
This body is better. It hurts when he steps on something sharp and it burns when he stands too long under the big bright ball of light in the sky but it is soft and it fits and when he presses one of his hands against his chest he can feel something pulse inside of him. He spent a lot of time listening to that rhythm the first time he became aware of himself, on top of that mountain. Just his hand pressed against his chest, feeling that something inside of him go bumpbumpbump against his palm.
Faster and faster and faster until something brushed his ear and whispered “Enough”. Until a delicate hand tangled with his hair and lips brushed his forehead and a deep sadness and an even deeper loneliness filled him.
“Go.”
