Summary
Two years after hacking its governor module, SecUnit003/"Three"/"Theo" is enrolled at the Pan-System University of Mihira & New Tideland because... reasons. It would, honestly, much rather be riding wormholes and liberating constructs and helping its friends aboard Perihelion, but it has a mission and needs to see it through.
It also has several humans students that it is trying to be friends with for... reasons.
And, if those reasons involve it having limited feed access, disabling its weaponry, and generally having to refute its basic function to try and accomplish this mission then...
[MISSION PARAMETER LOCK]
...Then, it's just going to have to grit its teeth and bear it.

Summary
One year has passed since Lyra (formerly Bellatrix) Black traveled thirty years into an alternate future. Unfortunately, this means she's expected to go back to boring Hogwarts for more boring normal people stuff. Except, there is that Tournament thing. And Angel Black. And her muggleborn girlfriend. And maybe an international incident or two... Never mind, should be fun.

Upto part 3
Part 2; chap 13
downloaded 14/06/26Part 1: Confirm System Upgrade-y/n?
Perihelion had offered me a file detailing every surgical procedure and alteration it was authorized and certified to carry out. It had also offered me an encrypted file detailing the procedures and alterations it was in no way certified to carry out, but retained 98% confidence that it could do so with minimal risk to me.In case you change your mind, it had said.
Thank you, I replied.
I did not open the files.
—
Or: Three makes some choices.
Part 2: Initiate Decision Tree Assembly
Perihelion's presence bears down on me in the feed. I do not think that it can read my mind, but it feels like it is trying to. I am bleeding something into the feed, but I do not know what. I am being scrutinized, picked apart, ogled.What?
All of my organics feel tense. I… want to watch the videos you gave me.
Do you require my permission to do so?
No.
Then watch them.
------------------------
Or: Three attempts independent research. It doesn't stay independent for long.
Part 3: Initiate Decision Tree Assembly — Supplemental Files
I am in the process of repairing the damage that 3 caused to itself. I am also maintaining life support onboard myself, calculating fuel and energy reserves, cleaning my hallways, preparing my crew's cabins for their return, inventorying our supplies, and running my many other lower-level processes. And I am talking SecUnit through its identity crisis. Were I being paid for my work, I would deserve a raise—although mostly for the identity crisis situation.------------------------
Or: Murderbot tries to cope with the realization that its experiences are not universal. ART tries to cope with the fact that it's really bad about catching feelings.
These are supplemental chapters to Initiate Decision Tree Assembly! Not meant to be read as a standalone work but you do you.
