  3. Summary

    The trolls are old enough for Ascension Day, when they would normally either be culled or join the Fleet. This time, though, the Fleet never shows up. Supply shipments start running low before they stop entirely. Alternia is thrown into chaos.

    Then the aliens show up.

    Summary

    What do you need me to do?
    Survive, he growls, and the end must really be close now, because she swears she hears his voice echo in the space around her.
    ---

    Post ME3 Shakarian fix-it. The Normandy is stranded without comms, the Reapers are destroyed, and Shepard is alive but with no way to make contact. Because I just finished LE and I have a lot of Big Feelings to work through.

    Summary

    Are you jealous of me? Why?

    No, you little idiot. I’m jealous of the fucking HubSys.

    Okay, Murderbot, don’t panic. So what if the bots and systems you’ve interacted with in the past find your methods to be (ugh) intimate in some way. That was fine. That didn’t change anything. Right?

    Shit, it changed everything.

    ---

    Murderbot finds out it's been unintentionally flirting with other bots and systems. ART wishes it would penetrate its own systems the same way.

    Summary

    I guess I’d been feeling kind of cooped up the past few cycles. ART and I had just returned from a cargo run: weeks with just the two of us, watching media and goofing around. Now I was on my way to some far off moon to look for frozen bacteria in ice samples or something and its hull was packed full of crew members and researchers and grad students all needing to be chauffeured around to different stations and planets.

    'I have a better idea.' ART highlighted a path on my map of its interior and gave me a little nudge in the feed.

    Murderbot's feeling pent-up.

    Summary

    The present me should feel disgusted by the mess SecUnit made on my deck, on my bulkhead, but I should also feel indifferent to SecUnit’s anger and ferocity, and I should be unaffected by the fluidity and grace of its violence—and I am not. I am so far from indifferent and unaffected that I have, instead, created new pathways within myself for the way I’m actually feeling.

    The breathless violence, the ruthless revenge—all for me. It is nothing short of mesmerizing. SecUnit is mesmerizing. I am enraptured.

     

    Or,

    ART processes the fragments of its memories from its deletion, and falls in love.
