Summary
Murderbot and Three discover mutual joy, using their skills and experiences as secunits to bond while aboard ART on the way to what should be a pleasant teaching mission with low stakes. When Three begins to test the boundaries between it and Murderbot, ART begins to interfere - thinking it must know best. This backfires, of course, and they all deal with the ensuing fallout while still trying to do their jobs.

Summary
All the secunits did it. They walked their strict, stoic patrols in perfect harmony, only ever interrupted by a quick uncomfortable clearing of their throats. Their helmets muffled the little noise into a sharp huff. None of my co-workers seemed to mind. I began thinking maybe constructs always did it, I just had never heard it over the chaos of my old contract. It was a shame, because, besides the coughing, the only other sound was blissful white noise.

Summary
“Either every human, augmented human, and artificial intelligence has had their minds entirely wiped, except for my organic memory, or I am experiencing a closed-system time loop.”
At least, that’s what they called it on Timestream Defenders Orion. I’d seen this before. It was a popular plotline on multiple dramas.
