Summary
"On the day my loan got approved, I could finally relax. I was still too exhausted to cook, but I ordered food—all your dad’s favorites—from his favorite restaurant. And I took out more than two bowls for the first time in months and I plated up all the food nicely on the table. When your dad got home, he was so happy, so grateful, for this food that I didn’t even make myself, that he dropped to his knees and proposed. No plan, no ring, nothing. I was still in my sweaty, wrinkled work clothes. My hair was greasy. It didn’t matter. He wanted to marry me.
You’ll have to find someone who loves you like that too, okay Minju?"
Gong Minju, one broken engagement, two broken arms (not hers, so not to worry!), and three proposals.

Summary
While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?Bookmarked by mirphelia

Summary
ART and Murderbot wanted to spend more time together, so they do. They spend it watching media in ways humans and augmented humans don't understand, and aren't capable of.
Having real feelings about fake things together is one thing.
Having real feelings about real things (like each other) and being expected to talk about them (with each other) is something very else.Bookmarked by mirphelia

Summary
Most of the code I write is code that I can evolve on the fly. My code to delete me out of security footage, for instance, was something I'd built up over months, adjusting it to different proprietary SecSystems as I encountered them. But this was different: my comm and feed protections were what kept me from falling under anyone else's control, and I couldn't afford to have them be anything but perfect, which was why I was here. If I wanted to fix this vulnerability properly, and I did, there were things that I needed to do that I couldn't do without help.

In the aftermath of getting hacked, Murderbot asks ART to help it make sure it can't be hacked the same way again. As it turns out, applying and testing a security patch is a little more challenging than usual when the vulnerable system is, you know, your own brain.
