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.

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.

“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.

Summary
When malware takes over SecUnit and it nearly kills three of ART's crew, ART is left with two bad options: keep the governor module on with ART as the Client, or partition off part of itself and stick it in SecUnit's head.
Whichever option they choose, they had better make it work, because SecUnit is firmly centered in the crosshairs of its former owner, the most paranoid and ruthless company in the entire corporation rim. As things quickly get worse, destroying the company--something SecUnit has long considered impossible--might just be the only way to survive.

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.

Summary
In an effort to improve security training for its humans, Murderbot decides that controlled memory wipes are the only way to give the authentic 'chased by a dangerous SecUnit' experience. It really wishes its humans would stop complaining about the idea. It knows what it's doing, alright? This isn't a serial ruled by dramatic irony. Nothing's going to go wrong.
(Something, inevitably, goes wrong.)

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.

Summary
Most tragedies don't spring out of thin air; they start quietly. A hiring mistake here. A greed-driven oversight there. Maybe a bit of prideful ignorance to really get it going. Danger creeps in on padded feet, and nobody notices until a statistic gets another notch on its belt. A man from modern-day Earth drenched in guilt wakes up in the forest near Sandgem Town with questions. Where is he? Who brought him here? Is he hallucinating these pokemon? A plot churns in the background, uncaring of who or what it might crush in its gears... the man and the allies he gathers along the way might be the only shot to stop it from becoming a tragedy.

Summary
From behind her back, arms reached around her. Pulled her close to a being she could not observe, for her body no longer obeyed her commands. Its body was warm and soft and it held her so close, so very close, as if it was afraid of letting her go.
Something was burning inside of her. Tearing at her chest. Coursing through her arms.
The being did not speak and it did not need to. It only had to hold on as the world was consumed by the darkness, whisking the two of them into nothingness, into a void filled with millions of blue stars born from scorpions.
It accepted her anger as they fell away from the stars and the sun and the light that was gone in an instant.

After yet another harrowing brush with supernatural threats, it's determined that Soma Cruz will be put under the direct surveillance of Genya Arikado - and that means he'll have to live with mysterious and intimidating agent for the foreseeable future. It's not the easiest arrangement for either, but Arikado could benefit from some company and Soma is more than a little curious about his reclusive acquaintance.

Summary
God, just because we're the only two kids in The Village, Emmerich Holyblade automatically assumes this makes us friends. He doesn't even realize I hate him and his stupid smug swordsman ass.
Whatever, honestly. Emmerich Holyblade and I are going on this stupid journey to kill the Demon Lord of Darkness, and because I hate him so much and don't want to be here, I need to let out my feelings SOMEWHERE or else I'm going to explode.
