Summary
Mensah was quiet for 2.7 seconds, then asked “How are you feeling after that meeting today?”
“Oh, just great! I can’t wait to be a Preservation pet robot!”
I was still looking at her through one of my drones and saw her wince minutely. That micro-expression would have slipped past most humans, but to me, it looked like a distress beacon.
Shit, that came out a little harsher than I meant it to. None of this was Mensah’s fault, but I was tired of monitoring my responses, and I still hadn’t gotten around to setting that one-second response delay. I wasn’t having a very good day, okay?
--
Preservation isn't as welcoming to Murderbot as its humans imagined it would be. Murderbot is not surprised. Mensah, Pin-Lee and Murderbot have emotions about it.

Summary
Dr. Gurathin has quietly come to the conclusion they prefer neutral gender identifiers. Murderbot feels indifferent about this. Still, this change somehow sets them on a path to forming a strong, strangely close bond. They end up talking about gender and feelings and learn a lot about each other. It's all very complicated and weird.
"I’d sat down 32.6 centimeters closer to Gurathin. My body had subconsciously chosen to sit in the middle of the couch, when previously we’d been at the two furthest ends from each other. Worse still, in the moment I somehow hadn’t even registered this change. I ran a full retroactive systems diagnostic, but everything came back operational and untampered. Upon seeing this complete report my performance reliability dropped by 2%. What was happening to me?"

Summary
Maybe you want to fully understand what it means to be human.
I don’t, I responded quickly. And besides, I will never be human.
No. But you can get close. Closer than you are now, at least. Can’t you?

Summary
There are a lot of security cameras. Usually that means very bad things, especially for secret human spies and their murderbot accomplices. Was I an accomplice? I planned the whole thing. Maybe the mastermind would be better. I knew Gurathin would take issue with that—because that made him the accomplice to a terrifying murderbot, rather than the one in control, and I knew how much it annoyed Gurathin 1. not to be in control, and 2. admit that I was right.

Or: Murderbot, Gurathin, a heist, and some
(probably)(definitely) ill-advised kissing. -

She takes a steadying breath and reads the words waiting for her in the feed: Don’t panic, I don’t need a lot of air. You will have 1 hour and 6 minutes before you become at risk of suffocation.
