    Summary

    "I am reviewing your files," Three began, then hesitated for 0.3 seconds. It continued, "I am not finished, but my status is … distracting me from proper analysis."

    I had a sinking feeling. I asked anyway, "Your status?"

    "I am alone."

    Summary

    “You’ll think I’m so stupid,” she said. “And it will piss you off. So brace yourself.”
    I was used to being pissed off. I made a face, but assumed myself sufficiently braced.
    “I have tattoos of corporate logos.”
    I had not been sufficiently braced.

    Summary

    I exhaled. “Organic parts gross me out.”
    It was still waiting with its feed open. It said, “So you’ve said.”
    There was the weirdest tension in my abdominal area. “But this doesn’t involve organic parts.”
    Another beat of silence. ART’s tone changed. “No.”

    /ART writes a code. Murderbot runs it. Nothing for anyone to get weird over.

    Summary

    Iris is guest-teaching a PUMNT course, so it makes sense for Murderbot to go as her security. Yes, ART is doing most of the job, and yes, they are making Murderbot take a class, but it's still only there for work. It thinks? What do you mean it has to do a group project.

    Summary

    “I was just making an objective observation.” I pulled up a compilation of my best footage and attached it to the feed. “She fits the criteria for what is deemed attractive by the media.”
    “Oh, wow,” Ratthi was saying. “You got that together really fast.”

    /Another day fighting to save a colony from the corporate hold. Nothing to see here!
