Summary
Its hard to protect your clients from a mysterious Evil Survey group that's trying to kill them while also trying to hide the fact that you are a rogue SecUnit. It is even harder to protect your clients from a mysterious Evil Survey group that's trying to kill them while hiding the fact that you're a rogue ComfortUnit, especially since they've already managed to take out your SecUnit.
Or
All Systems Red if Murderbot was a ComfortUnit instead of a SecUnit.

Summary
A lullaby, or a cradle song, is a soothing song or piece of music that is usually played for (or sung to) children.
"I miss my Papí."
“I know, baby. I’m sorry he’s not here,” Phil responded, continuing his ministrations to her wings.
"When is he coming back?" she pleaded. Phil felt his heart break a little every time she asked.
“I don’t know,” he answered. The only answer he could give. He hoped to gods that they would be able to find Tallulah’s dad, that they would be reunited, but as the days passed, it felt more and more hopeless.
No one he’d asked as of yet knew anything about Tallulah’s father. They knew his name was Oscar, that he spoke Spanish, and that he’d disappeared sometime before they’d arrived on the island.
"Need him sing," she signed.
“Sing? He sings to you?”

Summary
“It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
“For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
“Fuck off, ART.”
“You fuck off.”
So, I decided to go on the survey.Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

Summary
The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time.
Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.

Murderbot gets put in a box. This is totally fine, and it is coping really well. Thanks for asking.

Summary
The sensors are picking up nothing but the hum of deep space.
(Long after the time of their humans and the Corporation Rim, ART and Murderbot are drifting.)

Summary
The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.
