Summary
It was a good storyteller, Farai acknowledged; it always seemed to know exactly what kind of story the kids wanted, and had this way of describing things that made you feel like you were there, like you could close your eyes and reach out and touch the wall of the cave or the spaceship, or see the icy tundra around you, or whatever else was in the story.
She knew that sometimes it told them stories based on things it had experienced, or media it had watched, but sometimes it just made them up on the spot. She could never tell which it was.
---
A power outage leads to the entire Mensah family setting up camp in the living room. And the kids, of course, want a story.

Summary
I read the acceptance letter again. It was only five paragraphs –excluding the greeting and sign-off, with one of the fancy signatures that only seemed to be common among academics and medical practitioners where you could only barely comprehend half the name–, but I had spent the last hour reading it and rereading it.
I was in. I was going to PSUMNT. Officially.
As a student, not a contracted employee.
I couldn't stop smiling.

Summary
She only had a few seconds, and she knew it– this SecUnit only had until HubSys managed to sort through all the useless data she’d dumped into it before the governor module realized there were no humans left and fried its brain.
She had to hurry.
--

Summary
“This unit is at minimum functionality and it is recommended you discard it.”
SecUnit had said that four times, since they’d gotten it into the hopper. The first time Arada had heard it, she’d felt like being sick– how could it think they would ever even consider doing that, after everything?
--
Murderbot, while on the edge of systems failure in All Systems Red, repeats a buffer phrase. Arada has an emotion about it.

Summary
SecUnit hadn’t said three words since boarding the responder, almost seven hours ago.
It also hadn’t moved so much as an inch– it had just (after a bit of coaxing from Arada) sat stiffly down in the chair farthest from the rest of them and stared at the wall, clearly trying to pretend that either it wasn’t here or they weren’t. Probably a bit of both.

AU where Murderbot isn't left alone on Port FreeCommerce and ends up on the Preservation responder at the end of All Systems Red.

Summary
What did the Barrish-Estranza rogue SecUnit do, after being handed the key to its and every other construct's freedom?
It took it as a directive.
--
In other words, the Barrish-Estranza unit, having named itself "Specter" (it was, after all, a ghost, in its own way), decides that there must have been a reason the rogue unit had freed it. It comes to the conclusion that reason is revolution.- Words:
