    Summary

    Gurathin doesn’t sleep, the night that it leaves. Too much has happened – too much has changed – too much to think about. And, besides that, the residual panic, the residual headache and tension in his skull and spine, the spiralling thoughts about how he’s going to break it to the others that it’s left–

    The next night, though – when he finally collapses, exhausted, into his bunk – he sleeps. He almost immediately wishes he hadn’t.

    (It turns out, downloading a person into your brain has Consequences, Actually. Who'd have thought. Gurathin finds this out the hard way.)

    Summary

    An unexpected walk in the rain leads Murderbot to a realization about Gurathin. Now, it must contend with its own past if it wants to understand and be understood.

    Alternatively, they get off (emotionally) on the intense ordeal of self-recognition through the other by sharing a couple of their memories.

    Summary

    From what I understand, the human brain is basically an electrical meatball. A very sophisticated meatball, to be sure, but still – organic.

    That organic human neural tissue – unless very carefully cultivated under very specific laboratory parameters – doesn’t always play nicely with the non-organic bits. And even then, see example: me.

    That wasn’t even including the fact that Gurathin had received his augments in the Corporation Rim and company equipment – see again: me – wasn’t exactly premium quality.

    UPDATE 10/20/25: minor edits to chapter two

    Summary

    A collection of my works where Gurathin has more augments than the two mentioned in the books concealed under a counter-scanning implant from his time in the Corporation Rim. Loosely non-sequential, can be read in any order.
