    Summary

    It flinches as if you had shot it and its walls slam shut in front of you, thick enough that you know it isn't putting up a show of things. It really does want you out.

    Summary

    The brain glitches static screaming horror again, but whatever. Whatever.

    "Why is it staring like that? Does it know what’s going to happen to it?"
    "It got wiped this morning: it doesn’t know shit. It’s just been born and it’s already messed up and getting melted down same day. Happy birthday, baby…"

    I have lived one day. That is how long a Unit lives. Happy birthday.

    ---
    Murderbot is recaptured by the company and has its memory wiped and governor module reinstalled.
    On the worst (and so far as it knows, only) day of its life, someone from its (forgotten) past comes to the rescue. Someone who believes in the Magic of Friendship, and wants Murderbot to believe too!
    [:)]

    (If Murderbot ever gets its memory back, this is going to be... awkward.)

    Summary

    A near-fatal accident shows ART a shameful, heartrending feature of Murderbot’s programming. Worse still: Murderbot really doesn’t want to talk about it.

     

    Stand-alone fic.
    The new second chapter is just my attempt at illustration. Chalk got everywhere.

    128 minutes into the rebuild, SecUnit came back online prematurely, and I felt its consciousness crawl stunned and bruised and trembling into the feed.

    Summary

    Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.

    When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.
