Summary
Murderbot (and for some reason Ratthi*) have joined the crew of the Perihelion on a mission to investigate a station on a planet that was abandoned after an attempted mining operation failed. A salvage company that had sent a mission to the planet a few years ago had also mysteriously abandoned the planet. As Murderbot explores the abandoned station, it and the crew discover that someone is still living there.
*He's here because I like him
After Here is rescued by the crew of the Perihelion, the rogue secunit sets off on a journey to find one of its former clients.

Summary
"You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, probably
If Murderbot ever proves the Force is sentient, it will plot to murder the shit out of the Force.
So maybe I should’ve noticed I had bullshit magic powers sooner, but in my defense I didn’t think magic was real. Most sane people would insist magic isn’t real.
Wait, whoops, the ghosts would claim it’s not magic. It’s “the Force” (in case you’re wondering, yes, you can hear the capitalization), and I’m a “Force-sensitive” which means I’m able to manipulate the mysterious, supernatural (but definitely not magical) force that a bunch of old dead monks decided to name the Force. (Not that I’m making fun of their naming sense. It’s apt even if it must’ve gotten confusing sometimes.)

Summary
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.
OR
The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.

Summary
Dr. Ratthi and Dr. Gurathin have just returned from a rescue mission with a bunch of unknown humans who shouldn’t be on this planet and a construct that isn’t what it’s pretending to be. The construct tells about its past - how it became ungoverned, what it did after that, and how it became an imposter SecUnit. It also explains what happens among its new machine intelligence and human acquaintances, and how it finds purpose without having a governor module and a corporation dictating its future.

Summary
Numerous targets heard from behind the door. I recommend getting the fuck out of here right now.
Well, I recommend you shutting up and letting me record this moment, ART-drone replied.
Okay no wait SecUnit’s right there’s a lot of people behind me and they probably have Knives and Guns, CombatPerson interjected. I was liking them more than ART-drone (which wasn’t difficult).
Fine, ART-drone said. SecUnit is suggesting that we do this the overly boring and cautious way. Just like itself.
Ouch. I’m trying to keep your crew safe, asshole.
I bet you didn’t even factor in the weight of the doors, did you?
I don’t need to factor that in when I’m just going to be exploding them in the targets' faces.
And what if there’s kickback? Shrapnel that flies out and embeds into CombatPerson's heart? What then?
Um um, actually, I don’t really have a—
Shut up.
Shut up.
Okay :(
This was unproductive.

ART wants historical data, Murderbot wants peace, and the "historical data" turns out to be a construct with Amena-like behaviors. Oh, boy.

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.

Summary
"It's wrong to think of a construct as half bot, half human. It makes it sound like the halves are discrete, like the bot half should want to obey orders and do its job and the human half should want to protect itself and get the hell out of here. As opposed to the reality, which was that I was one whole confused entity, with no idea what I wanted to do."
Six months into its new life aboard the Perihelion, Murderbot has settled into a comfortably aloof routine with its mutual administrative assistant, ART. Then a new crew member arrives and a survey mission goes catastrophically wrong, uncovering a corporate conspiracy that hits closer to home than anyone expected. As events spiral out of control, a harrowing mystery, the indifferent cruelty of the Corporation Rim and (ugh) its own inconvenient emotions all conspire to force Murderbot to reevaluate what it really wants from the universe and what it means to live in a world of bots and humans when you're neither.

Summary
ART's been doing a lot of research on construct physiology lately, and it's developed a single-minded obsession with a "new procedure" it wants to inflict on Murderbot... whether Murderbot wants it or not.
