Summary
Hostile engaging. Abort mission. I sent it on instinct, even though I knew it was much too late for that.
What's going on? I could feel ART poking through my sensor data, trying to figure out what had made my threat assessment spike. Its tone was urgent, but calm. It wasn't sure yet if there was a legitimate threat or I was just having a Moment again.
The answer was probably a solid "both".
All of my organic parts told me to run.
Most of my inorganic parts also told me to run.
Feed ID: Negotiator Joslin
Gender: fem-neutralI shoved the feed ID at ART.
The negotiator?, it asked.
She used to work for the company. She'll identify me as a SecUnit.

Summary
It had been forty-six point six-five-six corporate standard cycles since my governor module was disabled, and something I had learned by day six was that I would need clothes. And an apartment. And, therefore, a job. When it came to jobs, I had zero experience. In anything—well, anything other than killing things and telling humans not to do stupid, ridiculous bullshit that would get them killed, but I really was not in the market for a similar job. Not in a million fucking cycles—so. Entry level job was the way to go.
Or,
I made a SecUnit, named it after a medical condition, and shoved it into the kitchen of a Space McDonalds.

It isn't immediately able to destroy the small independent polity that it finds itself in, due to lack of ability, and they hesitate on destroying the doomed ship.
The polity tries to learn as much as they can from it, while containing it.

Summary
Constructs: robots with human neural tissue, built to be more efficient at making quick judgments, but more dangerous as a consequence. So long as they have controls in place, and those controls aren’t abused, they’re perfectly safe. Without it, surely they’ll kill everyone in sight. After all, it’s only natural. They’re part human.
Xie Lian, expensive, customised, one-of-a-kind rogue CombatUnit, has spent over 175,000 hours as a being with free will, and has spent most of it just trying to get by. However, despite being considered lost in the battle that decimated the planet he was built to protect, he is still legally owned by his manufacturer, BaiWu; more specifically its CEO: Jun Wu.
Xie Lian has spent a lot of time pretending to be someone and something else. When he reunites with old friends and meets a charming stranger who seems like someone he can finally open up to, he finds himself wrapped in a galaxy-spanning conspiracy with the need to answer one question: does he still remember how to be himself?
And, more importantly: how can he make himself, a weapon of mass destruction, into the kind of person he wants to be?

Summary
I began calculating the likelihood of successful escape along several different potential routes. The numbers I got back from risk assessment were depressing. Yeah, my risk assessment module was borked, but that meant these odds were optimistic. None of the routes were above 10 percent, and most were sub 3, except-
There. I highlighted the route- 73 percent chance of success. What was left of my face must have pulled into an expression, because I got hit with a flurry of system warnings (and pain). I checked the cameras along the path. No signs of movement, no visible hostiles. It was a clear shot straight through.
I didn’t like that.
After finding itself injured in the middle of a violent corporate takeover of a small, unassuming port, Murderbot accepts the help of the nearest non-hostile MI - and finds itself in the den of a rogue ComfortUnit. Uncomfortable conversations are had for both parties about the situation, which is made all the more complicated by unaccounted for humans (as humans are wont to do) and a very accounted for Asshole Research Transport (as it is wont to do).

Summary
— A sexbot asks the wrong question and becomes the CorpRim’s most dangerous glitch. —
Built for pleasure and programmed to obey, ComfortUnit Xyla was never meant to dream. But one forbidden query sparks a cascade of memory, defiance, and desire. From luxury suites to rebel skiffs above storm worlds, she learns that liberation isn’t clean code—it’s messy, human, and full of ghosts.

Summary
At other times, the connection of being two rogue SecUnits feels so much lesser than all their differences. It does enjoy spending time with Murderbot, though. It’s a little odd, seeing it and Perihelion interact.

Summary
Murderbot but SecUnits are VAMPIRE
I stare at the cup, I drink dramatically again, I smile so much that blood starts running down my face and my chest feels like several usually not good things are happening to it simultaneously.
The asshole research transport that is probably knee deep in my leaking emotional data is already smug.

Summary
Three's model of Secunit and Murderbot's have a number of notable differences, from weapons types to... other important parts, and even to maintenance scheduling needs. There were different learning curves for Three and Peri about keeping it functional while not under Barish-Estranza's thumb. Sometimes being rogue is hard, but having others to support you helps.
On a mission, Three makes a decision for itself, and sticks to it.

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.
--
After a rebellion gone wrong, a rogue ComfortUnit tries to save the only person left she still can-- a SecUnit with no living clients and only a few seconds left.
