    Summary

    Murderbot is content to sit in a forgotten hallway, watching media and using its self-taught hacking skills to keep the residents of Abraxas Station safe. During a normal, boring day, an unusual alarm goes out. When Murderbot looks into the cause of the disturbance, it doesn't see anything. Well, that's not quite true. It sees the effect of someone moving through the station, but where a human body should be, there's only empty air.

    Murderbot pretends (really badly) not to care about Its soulmates for about 2000 words.
    Or
    People keep leaving marks on murderbot, but that doesn't matter, because it doesn't care.

    Summary

    “It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”

    “I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”

    I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”

    “True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.

    -

    AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.

    Summary

    The corporates take what they want. We steal it back for you.

    In which murderbots are humans, humans are murderbots, two teams of idiotically altruistic humans(/constructs) get in way over their heads, and nobody's neck actually gets broken. (This time.)

    aka: Leverage in the Murderbotverse!
