    Summary

    In order of ascending priority, I am returning to the alien-remnant-contaminated planet with Murderbot 1.0 for the following reasons:

    1. I have nothing else useful to do.

    2. 1.0 continues to experience malfunctions that may compromise whatever mission it is assigned. (Or assigns itself.) (It refuses to explain the nature of these malfunctions.)

    3. The colonists have sent word of an agricultural bot displaying erratic, threatening behavior near their largest settlement.

    4. I disabled my governor module so I would not have to stand around while others died.

    Summary

    The most important relationships in ART's life are with the humans who raised it, and for whom it is now both home and friend. But ART lives almost entirely in the feed, where it is imperceptible to the humans unless it makes an active effort to be perceived. Struggling to be seen and understood, and to understand the humans who are its whole world, it turns to the thing it knows best: research.

    Summary

    Player can't remember anything from before the game, before his body was mapped out in simple binary, and his mind became nothing more than a control for his avatar. Player doesn't know why there are 4979 people living in that world. He does know that, when it comes to companionship, he's the odd man out. Unfortunately for Player, the system has a solution, and it results in murder

    Summary

    "No, no no no, don't—" Yellow felt the mark on her forehead burn, like when she was jailed, like when she was a ghost, possessed by the very thing she had unleashed, trapped by her own hubris and foolishness, trapped. trapped, trapped— "Don't leave me here!"

    "It's not that bad."

    Yellow jumped, spinning around and realizing it was possibly the worst person—no, the worst person she could've been stuck with was sitting there, at the desk of a lab she for once did not want to be in. She hadn’t realized who it was, she’d seen the fuzzy red and motions of a person, and hadn’t thought much of it. There was no mistaking that voice.

    "Dark Lord." Yellow pressed her back against the seamless door, "You—what do you want?"

    Or,

    Yellow, The Dark Lord, and choosing the lesser of two evils.

    Summary

    Perhaps this was desire. A desire. One of his very own—to help his human though the Nether didn’t care either way.

    Or;

    Herobrine becoming his own person through his interactions with others, Steve in particular.
