Summary
Martin is sneaking a cat into the archives.
He hadn’t planned for his day to start like this, but it had looked so sad when he’d found it around the side of the building, and it hadn’t protested when he’d come over (in fact it had been rather friendly) and the next thing he knew he was smuggling a cat into his place of work with vague intentions of pretending he was doing followup on a statement after his lunch break to take it out to a vet to see if it was microchipped.
~~
The next morning, when Martin walks into the archives, the cat is sprawled over the top of Sasha’s chair.
“How are you here.” He demands. “I took you to the shelter twice.”OR
A cat takes up residence in the archives through sheer persistence and liberal weaponization of adorableness. Inadvisable name choices are made.

Summary
Miles feels like the world has been put on pause.
He’s staring down, but he’s not seeing what’s actually there, images superimposed over his eyeballs like that artwork with the transparent layers he saw the other day he thought was so cool.
Uncle Aaron, laying in the alley, purple armor bleeding darker and darker. Spider-Man, one blue eye staring up and out, chest caved in.
Peter B, sprawled unmoving across the ground. -

Summary
Putting children to bed- and keeping them there- is a science and an art form parents (and some older siblings) have perfected over millenia. Some parents have devoted years to this craft and achieved mastery, fearing the whims of no child at bedtime.
Unfortunately, Din Djarin is not a master, and must stumble through the process as all new parents do.

Summary
It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.
Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.
I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

Summary
The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

Summary
SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

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.)
