    Summary

    Murderbot thinks it's bullshit that its injuries are documented in the post-mission debrief. ART has something to say about that.

    Written for the New Tidelands server writing workshop. Prompt: slip of the tongue

    Summary

    Rogue SecUnit maintenance is untread territory. It is much easier to keep a SecUnit functional when it has access to the infrastructure it was built to use. Without access, you must provide your own infrastructure to it.

    “You didn't have to do that. I didn't ask for an update,” it grouses.

    You're uncertain what it will take for your SecUnit to realize its need for this infrastructure.


    In which ART is just trying to take care of Murderbot, and Murderbot is just trying not to overreact (read: panic, have a flashback, dissociate). And they get mad at each other instead of talking about it. That’s the whole fic.

    Summary

    I shouldn't take it personally that everyone loved Three. It was just better than me. At everything: Kicking my ass, not being a pile of anxiety, getting along with humans... just, everything.
    It was fine. It was fine, right?
    So if it was fine, the problem wasn't with being a SecUnit, the problem was with me. I didn't like that and I definitely didn't want to talk about it.

    A short story about SecUnit seeing how well Three is doing, and what that must mean about itself. Get cared for, idiot.
