Summary
Four times having a governor module fucking sucked, plus one time [REDACTED: FILE MISSING].
(Or: Murderbot has Emotions for 8,000 words. ART tries to help. So does Dr. Mensah, but like, in a decidedly less assholish way.)

Summary
This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?
Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?
Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.
This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.
Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

(When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

Summary
The water runs brown for a while after he gets in. Jud isn’t one for long showers, but he figured that he had earned this with how these past few days had gone. After all, there would be a noticeable decrease in the church’s water bill if anything. He pushes his head back under the water at the thought, rubbing his hands roughly across his face.
***
Jud is having a hard time coping with the recent events at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, but at least he has company.

Summary
When she said it was Nat who killed Sam Jud had heard her, but as a priest he knows full well that there is a difference between knowing and understanding. Between understanding and belief.
When the dust settles Jud is left with the realisation that he did not kill Sam, and the impact of three days of stress, sleeplesness, and guilt. Benoit Blanc supports him through it.

Summary
He’s reminded, suddenly, of Marta: guilty only of a damaged trellis and a few amateur theatrics. Blanc had known from the beginning that she thought she was guilty, but hadn’t assured her of her innocence until checkmate. He did the same to Jud last night. Would he do the same again if it meant solving a case and bringing a murderer down, or bringing a wronged person justice? He knows he would, but it is not an easy thought.
In the immidiate aftermath of Martha's confession Jud has a small breakdown. Blanc helps him through it. Written as a companion piece for "Matthew 6:34."

Summary
The masturbatory confessions had become rather par for the course, for Jud, enough so that he could tune them out with regularity. On a particular Sunday, however, four months before the murder, Jud had stared blankly at the man across from him, fingers twitching halfway into fists, a twisting, nervous feeling making its home in his gut. Monsignor Wicks had been grinning widely at him, eyes narrowed in some sort of taunt, goading him.
“What,” Jud had said, voice pitchy, “did you just say?”

Summary
His first mistake is not picking up the phone.
In Jud’s defense, it’s been a long fucking day. And not one that he’s keen to recount.
He’s kept the damn thing turned off for most of the day. As a rule, he stays fairly available on Sundays, but—well, extenuating circumstances call for extreme reactions. Thankfully, he had kept enough of his head after Mass to force a shutdown instead of what he wanted to do, which was to hurl it against the wall and watch it shatter into a million tiny pieces.
Night is young, though.
Or: A Wicks truther comes after Jud in the middle of Mass. He's fine. Benoit disagrees.

Summary
Visi was about to put her hand on Robert's shoulder to steady him when he suddenly lunged forward. Before she knew what was happening she was lying on the ground, Robert kneeling on top of her.
"Rob–"
She didn't get a chance to finish. With a precision that should've been impossible for a temporarily blinded man, he pulled his arm back and punched her in the throat.

Summary
He sat back in his chair with a sigh, rubbing at his temples. “I don’t know why he cares so much. You would think he’d be happy to see me starve.”
Chase swiveled his chair to fully look at Robert. “I know this will sound rich coming from me, but maybe, just maybe, those asshole’s give enough of a shit about you to want to make your life better.”
Or: The Z-Team liven up Robert's apartment, much to Robert's dismay.

Summary
A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.
But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

Summary
After Shroud’s fall, Robert Robertson III finds himself given the chance to step back into a world he once belonged to, only to realise just how much of it he had been surviving rather than living.
He knows he can’t keep running on the survival instincts that got him through the last fifteen years. This time, he wants to do things right, even if unlearning some of his old habits turns out to be harder than fighting villains.
As Mecha Man learns how to be a hero without destroying himself in the process, the Z Team watches closely, catching a glimpse of the unspoken, unseen side of heroism that no one really talks about.
Or
Robert gets stuck at SDN infirmary while the Z team tries to get him a bed.
A continuation of Steep Learning Curve
