Summary
“I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.
“I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.
“I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”
“You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”
“Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”
“Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”
Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.
(Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

Summary
“I gave you a spell of protection,” she said. “I bound your secret, so that you will always be kept from harm.”
Merlin stared at her. A knot formed in his stomach, something like dread coiling deep in his gut. “Bound… my secret,” he repeated, trying to keep it from being a question. “You mean… I can’t tell—”
“Anyone,” she said gently.
OR
An intended blessing turns out to be more of a curse.

It's been a while since she's heard his voice. His scolding tone, likely an unconscious paternal habit, coaxes out a tired smile. "What are you still doing awake at this hour?"

Summary
"If Station Security catches it in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if they get tired of the investigation, or just if SecUnit pisses the wrong person off, they might try to arrest it."
Ratthi snorted. "I mean, they sure wanted to." Gurathin said nothing, and Ratthi's humor dried up. "You're serious. You really think that Station Security would do something like that? Even knowing that SecUnit is innocent?"

According to my calculations, retaining permanent onboard security would be significantly cheaper than continuing our current policy of vetting and hiring consultants on an as-needed basis.
"Peri, if you're suggesting that I hire your friend—"
-
It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. But since Perihelion's transgression was to offer its friend a job without the prior approval of its captain, it has to ask for both.

ART, you’re not supposed to connect to me on the feed, you dumbass!
ART sounded dismissive and not, you know, concerned about alien remnant contamination at all or anything when it said, I hooked you up to the isolation box while you were out. You do know what an isolation box does, don’t you?
That data felt slippery and I wasn’t sure I had it in my short-term storage. I said, Fuck off, obviously I know what an isolation box does.

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

Summary
If ghosts were real, they would be registered as an extreme threat to clients, and the company would have given me a module on how to kill them. Whatever was in the collapsed mineshaft, there was no way it was a dead human.
But it might still be an as-yet unknown threat.
-
99.99999% of the time, threats to a SecUnit's clients can be addressed with some amount of physical force, anywhere on the sliding scale from standing between two combatants to shooting the threat full of holes.
The other 0.00001%, though? There's nothing about that in any of the learning modules.
(Or: Murderbot tells a ghost story.)

Summary
Merlin's had his hands full what with being Arthur's servant, Gaius' assistant, the only thing standing between Camelot's future and its destruction by dark magic, so it's understandable that he's a little tired.
Surely if he just takes a little break while doing chores for Arthur it'll be fine, right?
Arthur won't find out.

Summary
Arthur knew it was Merlin’s dream to be an astronaut, and every single day was a dream come true, but sometimes it was still hard for Arthur to grasp. Why did he need to do this? Of all the dreams to have, that idiot just had to pick one of the most dangerous in the world? Scratch that. In the solar system. He may look like a lanky geek of a scientist but that man had a daredevil streak in him the size of Jupiter.

Summary
Arthur lifted their joined hands to his lips to press a kiss to Merlin’s knuckles. “Sometimes I wish I could tell him how wrong he was to mistrust magic so much. Magic is the reason I have you, and you are my greatest gift.”
