"This out of service unit is the property of Palisade, please wait for assistance," I announced.
I disliked buffer phrases.
A Combat SecUnit has a very bad day, and meets an interesting stranger.

Summary
Gurathin has taken the virtual tour of the augment center campus. It’s very nice. The offices all look very comfortable and soothing.
The corporate augment centers could also be comfortable and soothing, in specific places. And a MedSys cradle is a MedSys cradle. A procedure room is a procedure room. It all comes down to the smell of antiseptic and the same set of tones they use to test feed augments.
He wants to not have to do this. He wants anything but.
But he has just now gotten to the point in his life where he is starting to look forward to another day. He is no longer prepared to pass peacefully into oblivion, and hope for a better go-around the next time.
So here they all are.
(Or: Peri takes Gurathin (and Mish, and Tati, and Ratthi of course) to the Augment Center on UplandGateway Four. It doesn't go smoothly. But it goes, regardless.)

Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:

Summary
AU where the All Systems Red survey goes off without a hitch, it's only afterward that things start going wrong.
Stranded on a station, PresAux are attacked and then hire their rescuer to escort them home. Security Consultant Eden is amazingly competent, but also awkward and extremely shy. Is it too much to ask for them to come out of wherever they're hiding on the ship long enough to be thanked?
And what's with all the random attacks dogging PresAux throughout the journey?(Meanwhile, Murderbot & ART are wondering what the hell these nice little hippies did to piss off a vicious whining two-bit corporation so badly.)

Summary
Something funny was happening to my organic parts. I felt… strange. Strange in a bad way. Strange in a sick with dread way, no matter how stupid that was. Its owner wasn't coming back.
ART pinged me. I ignored it.
The fauna had been left behind, just like the furniture, just like all the other human things. And now it had gone rogue, outside what it had been allowed to do before, in an effort to survive.
And okay, yes, maybe these were dumb conclusions to come to, and a SecUnit shouldn't be projecting anything onto a domesticated fauna.
But it had been abandoned.
