    Summary

    The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

    Summary

    While recognizing that we have traveled well into the realm of the hypothetical – AMI are as yet a theoretical entity, the progeny of AMI still more so – we are nevertheless quite confident to say that the introduction of children to the world of AMI would be a pivotal moment indeed.

    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

    “SecUnit, what’s your favorite smell?” Double ugh. How the fuck was I supposed to answer this without being rude?

    “I like it when there isn’t a smell.” There, that was a positive spin on my negativity, I guess. Maybe I should have lied, though. Everyone in the shuttle was frowning to some degree. Way to bring down the mood, Murderbot.

    “You don’t like any smells?” Iris asked.
