    Summary

    ART's new big idea for promoting construct rights in the Corporation Rim is a how-to video series, starring Murderbot. The first time it manages to get Murderbot in front of a camera, it's for a cooking tutorial - specifically, baking a cake. Both of them are perfectly capable of following instructions, so it should be a gentle introduction to filming a video together.

    ART has never made a cake before. Murderbot has also never made a cake before. Neither of them can actually eat. However badly you think this is going to go, it will probably be worse.

    Summary

    Murderbot's new client is... complicated. She's also an old friend of Ayda Mensah, Murderbot's favorite human.

    The mission seems straightforward at first. But keeping Dr. Silnot alive will also turn out to be... complicated.

    Summary

    The governor module rudely reminded me about the pending command. I closed the logs and finally looked at the Target Package.

    The package with my memories. The memories that the rogue me had encrypted and locked before it had been captured by the company. The memories that the company really wanted to get so they could see who was standing behind the rogue me’s actions, and whether or not they had the legal grounds to start a war with Preservation Alliance and Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland.

    The memories that the hostiles hoped my organics remembered how to access.

    MB gets captured, loses its memories, gets a new govmod — and still stays a Terrifying Fucking Menace who can and will fuck things up just because it could.

    Also includes a very scared but enthusiastic CSU that got tagged along in this whole mess, and ART who's stressing the shit out while MB gets to have all the fun!

    Summary

    Your face is not SecUnit standard. There have been alterations made to your skin and hair. There is a rapid-cycling fluidity to your expressions that is like a human’s, but not. Your feed is still a strange and curious torrent of nonsense. You use security-protocol-language and human words in tandem. You are like a human begging for mercy, and like a bot requesting resources and strategic backup.
    ~
    Premise: Exit Strategy bad ending, where Murderbot gets captured by Palisade and they decide to run tests on it to figure out what makes it tick.

    Summary

    This is the thing about your neural pathways expanding with practice. Sometimes you open your mouth and say a thing without meaning to, and it’s because you’re better at understanding humans than you thought you were.
