Summary
“Oh,” Mensah said.
I followed her gaze to her lion daemon. Sadik was so large he took up most of the rug and dwarfed the coffee table where, I realised with a jolt, my own little beast had been hiding.
I rounded the coffee table. Beast had buried itself deep in Sadik’s mane, pressed up against his neck. It blinked back at me slowly, almost smug, and then pressed even further against Sadik. Another fission of heat ran through my chest, like I’d been made to swallow hot coals.
(OR: A touch-averse Murderbot learns to live with a touch-seeking daemon.)

Summary
In an effort to improve security training for its humans, Murderbot decides that controlled memory wipes are the only way to give the authentic 'chased by a dangerous SecUnit' experience. It really wishes its humans would stop complaining about the idea. It knows what it's doing, alright? This isn't a serial ruled by dramatic irony. Nothing's going to go wrong.
(Something, inevitably, goes wrong.)

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
SecUnit's job on TranRollinHyfa is rather boring—until it's assigned to watch over Dr. Mensah, who has just been kidnapped by GrayCris after a survey went very wrong.
Being on separate sides doesn't stop Dr. Mensah from treating it like a person, and soon SecUnit finds itself grappling with emotions, free will, and what it means to be someone trying to help.

Summary
ART and Murderbot return to Preservation System from a reconnaissance mission to find the station deserted. Murderbot suspects GrayCris are behind it, or possibly raiders, but ART thinks some Eldritch Horror from Beyond the Void has taken every living soul from Preservation System.
Murderbot is pretty sure that ART has been watching too much WorldHoppers.
