    Summary

    “It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”

    “I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”

    I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”

    “True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.

    -

    AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.

    Summary

    It's not about humans, I grit out. I haven't— I don't want to hurt humans.

    Then whatever the hell is the issue—

    I hurt you.

    ART is stunned into silence. I cover my face.

    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

    Its hard to protect your clients from a mysterious Evil Survey group that's trying to kill them while also trying to hide the fact that you are a rogue SecUnit. It is even harder to protect your clients from a mysterious Evil Survey group that's trying to kill them while hiding the fact that you're a rogue ComfortUnit, especially since they've already managed to take out your SecUnit.

    Or

    All Systems Red if Murderbot was a ComfortUnit instead of a SecUnit.
