Recovery Trajectory (emotions, yay) by QuintessentialShip

Summary
I had installed the mental health module but hadn’t toggled it on yet. Which is why I was now in my cabin arguing with a bossy machine super-intelligence over how many emotions I might be capable of having.
I had completed a total of one part of one step in the trauma recovery process and didn’t want to continue. Ever since we got the hell out of that system where ART got deleted and I thought it was dead, and I got contaminated and 2.0 sacrificed itself –
SecUnit.
I didn’t really want to revisit all that.
SecUnit, ART said more forcefully. Your stats are dropping.
Right. Get it together, Murderbot. It was probably too late to throw myself out the airlock.
----
For prompt 175: ART helps SecUnit navigate labeling its emotions for the Emotion Check module.- Language:

Summary
'Actually, this might be a fitting moment to try."
"That is not advisable," Three said quickly.
I agreed. "You really don't want to."
"…Oh," said ART in a tone which told that yep, it'd already done it.SecUnit encounters an undocumented issue and tries to die stupidly about it. ART objects.

Murderbot Goes To SpaceFuture!Vegas and Hates It by aleph_zero

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.
