Summary
When the PresAux crew make it back to Port FreeCommerce after their disastrous survey, SecUnit is quickly taken from them to be "repaired".
The Company wipes its memory, too.
Gurathin knows it's never so simple. And Mensah is unwilling to give up hope.
If there's any chance it still exists, somewhere in their files...
He'll take that risk. For the crew. For her.
*
Or,
Gurathin's point of view of the memory heist from Season 1, Episode 10 of Murderbot.
Revised a little to include all of the book crew, my beloveds.
This fic stands alone, but for readers of Perceptive, Observant, Vigilant, it also fits into the scene break in Chapter 9 of Holding On.

Summary
Gurathin isn't very good at making his brain be quiet. But there is one thing that always helps...
Thankfully, someone he knows in Preservation is a more-than-willing participant.

Redefining "sex", as one does in this fandom. And it isn't anonymous for Gurathin, because he knows exactly who his partner is.

Summary
A series of works exploring Pin-Lee's
friendshiprelationshipmutual administrative assistancewith Dr. Gurathin. Working together, socializing, mutual goading, all those kinds of things.Starts from their first meeting in Preservation and goes until... well, we'll see.
Title is a reference to chapter 3 of "Indelible". And it's not that kind of hopeless. No actual whump here. But never forget that the Corporation Rim is terrible.
(I am removing my note about number of works planned because the number just. Keeps. Growing!)
Timeline ranging from 6 years pre-canon until All Systems Red/Season 1 of the show for certain.
I have also started writing alternate points of view / missing scenes for these works! You can find them in Just in Case or else use Case by Case for recommended reading order.

Perceptive, Observant, Vigilant by Jack_Daw
Fandom Murderbot (TV), The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
Looking at things from (my take on) Gurathin's perspective. Pre-canon, during canon, way off-screen during canon, potentially even post-canon. It's all fair game.
He is a cranky wet cat of a human who desperately needs a hug and will be going through it.
There's some fluff, too.

Summary
“We’re from the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. I’m Seth, the captain of this ship. This is Martyn, my number one.”
Martyn squeezed Captain Seth’s shoulder. “Our work with the university frequently takes us into situations where … where a SecUnit would be beneficial.”
That sounded bad. It also sounded like —
“And so we bought your contract,” said Martyn.
Yeah.
That.

Of the people they lose, the ones they fight for, and the child who might still save them both.It starts with survival, it ends in ruin.
Everything in between is theirs - and maybe, if they’re lucky, what comes after will be too.Bookmarked by Jack_Daw
