Summary
Murderbot doesn't have a soul, ergo, it shouldn't have to worry about soul bonds. Unfortunately for it, that isn't the case. Clients who are soulbonded are liabilities, as their emotional states are in flux as they feel their bonded partner's feelings.
And then it meets ART.

Summary
My SecUnit is pacing in the navigation deck. I'm about to ping it when .03 seconds after coming online, I notice something has partitioned off part of my system.
There is an unknown virus in my system.
I attempt to purge it from the system at the same time I hear SecUnit over the feed.
"Do not panic and do not do anything rash until you know what's happening. We're all safe and accounted for."

Summary
“What are you here for? You usually warn me when you come visit.” Eden didn’t have feeds or any instant form of communication, but it did have letters. Letters. Yeah, I had to spend an eternity waiting for some idiot to deliver the dang message instead of just receiving it instantaneously. Ugh.
Mensah stiffened. Uh oh.. When a human like her does that, it’s never a good sign. Never ever ever. My threat assessment module spiked, even though we were in the middle of fucking nowhere.
“Your friend’s dying."
ART and Murderbot have long since parted ways. However, the latter is drawn back into the fold when it receives devastating news.

Summary
ART tries to kill itself -- completely out of nowhere and over something entirely innocuous. Or was it simply the last straw?
Pause. Roll back the tape. Let's see how we got here. And after that, let's figure out how to go on.

Summary
Humans were screaming, I was sprinting toward the problem, and the sky was unleashing a chill, torrential rain that made me nostalgic for getting hosed off in the security ready room.
It should have been the perfect day.
Well, not for the screaming people trapped in the collapsed building. Their day probably sucked. For me, it was exactly what I needed.
More than anything, I really needed there to be a problem, because if there wasn’t then I was the problem.
And there's only one kind of problem a rogue SecUnit can be. -

Summary
I may be a vast and immensely powerful MI, but even so (or perhaps, and especially so) I am not immune to finding artifacts in my functionality reports. Sometimes, something fails to get the grain of processing power it needs to complete the query in time and generates a jumble of recursive nonsense code as it stutters in place. I don't spare it another thought as I dismiss the error message and forward the report as reference for cleanup. It'll all be gone by the next cycle.

Summary
ART?
SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.
It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.
ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.
SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.
This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They installed a governor module on it.

Barish-Estranza captures and installs a governor module on ART. Can Murderbot find a way to save the both of them?
