    Summary

    The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

    Summary

    Murderbot knows it’s going to die. Before risk assessment blinked out, it calculated a 98%+ probability that it would end up dead here, left behind on this stupid planet.

    When that doesn’t happen, it ends up being a lot to process.

    Summary

    This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?

    Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?

    Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.

    This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.

    Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

    (When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

    Summary

    2,500 hours after a post-ganaka pit memory wipe and hacking its governor module, Murderbot gets refurbished (see: lab-hell tortured) for its next contract...to the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. When it gets there, not everything is as it seems. Terrible, terrible chaos ensues.

    If you want to enjoy a terrible lab hell and angsty suffering fic WITHOUT the major character death, you can stop reading after chapter five.
