Summary
Look, it's not exactly easy to steal a shitton of money from a casino corporation.
They're paranoid as fuck, for starters, almost as paranoid as the company. As a general rule, you don't get nearly that rich by being anything short of obsessively protective of your ill-gotten gains. You're in the business of giving out hard currency to winners; you'd better be fucking sure that no one's hacking anything in your systems. Also, obviously, you have to have a plan for the thousands of rival corporations hoping for/plotting your downfall.
Basically, what I'm saying is that ART's idea of a relaxing vacation for its very first shore leave (yes, it had been a whole thing. For some reason Tarik had started it, and Pin-Lee and Mensah had gotten involved) was inadvisable from the start.

Or, Murderbot and ART go on a fun Vegas vacation.

Summary
“It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”
“I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”
I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”
“True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.
-
AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.
