Summary
Murderbot is locked in a cell, and its memories of the recent past have been wiped. The cell in front contains a group of humans that feel familiar.
With nothing left to do, it thinks about these humans and gives them imaginary lives, because real life doesn't seem to be headed for a happy ending.

Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.
--
Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
Mensah’s hand lands on Gurathin’s shoulder, and it’s all he can do to shore up under it. They just got her back. This is absolutely going to put her at risk again, and he knows that as well as she does. It puts all of them at risk.
It’s just that it doesn’t matter. If the cost of her life, of all their lives, is SecUnit’s death? He’s not paying.
SecUnit won't consider any plans that involve putting its humans in danger. Fortunately for SecUnit, its humans are more than happy to consider those plans for themselves.

Summary
SecUnit 3 experiences its first 100 hours without a governor module.
The first 10 hours were spent recovering 1.0 from alien hostiles. Those turn out to have been the easy hours. At least Three had protocol to cover some of that situation. Now SecUnits 1 and 2 are inoperative, 1.0 has blocked it, Perihelion terrifies it, and Three is alone.

Summary
SecUnit is staring at him. Ratthi accidentally makes eye contact again, and its gaze doesn’t dart away like it normally does. It stays locked onto his. Deliberately maintaining the eye contact.
Ratthi flexes his hands. His skin is tacky with fluids and the webs of his fingers stick together. “You’re really worrying me, SecUnit. Talk to me. Tell me you’re okay.”
“I’m okay,” SecUnit says immediately.
(OR: After Murderbot is attacked by the company and has its governor module switched back on, it can’t speak freely to ask for help. It takes its friends a while to notice.)

Summary
Look, I didn’t want to see Amena crying again. For one thing, it was awkward and gross, and for another thing, I guess I sort of liked her and I didn’t want her to be sad. But after we’d talked to Mensah, Amena had gone back to the bunkroom I’d claimed for her.
Which also happened to be the bunkroom I’d claimed for myself.

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.
