Summary
This story is best understood if you have read Desire, Technically, where it would fit into the middle of chapter 19. It tells what happened as Gurathin goes through lethal withdrawal from the addictive drugs the company gave him to ensure his loyalty as a spy.
For those who have not read Desire, Technically, know that in this AU, Gurathin was a company technician who specialized in repair of constructs who had problems the cubicle couldn't fix. These were primarily mental issues, which is how he got Murderbot, who was not nearly as good at being an undetected rogue as it imagined.
Gurathin freed it but was captured in the process, tortured, and turned into a semi-expendable spy. Murderbot escaped, had Artificial Condition adventures with ART, then returned to find and free Gurathin. It found him, but he was addicted. They made a bargain with Preservation for them to do their best to help him survive the withdrawal.
And here we are.
