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
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
“ART,” I managed, voice pitched up just a little. “What are you doing?”
Part of the touch on my chest slid up to cup my jaw. It was— warm. Gentle? It was weird and unexpected and I scooted away until my lower back hit the couch’s armrest, which obviously did nothing. `My beautiful SecUnit,' ART said, and my breath hitched oddly. It’s the malware, Murderbot, it’s the fucking malware. Keep it together. 'You still haven’t realized what’s happening? You still don’t understand what I’m going to do to you?'

Summary
Murderbot usually meets with Bharadwaj in her office. She wants to try something different today.
Yeah, talking about feelings is gross and stupid, but maybe it's not absolutely the most awful thing ever to talk about them with Bharadwaj. At least not always.

Summary
The corporates take what they want. We steal it back for you.
In which murderbots are humans, humans are murderbots, two teams of idiotically altruistic humans(/constructs) get in way over their heads, and nobody's neck actually gets broken. (This time.)

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.

While helping ART pack for a new colony rescue mission, Murderbot finds a discrepancy in its crew manifest. The truth is weirder and more emotionally loaded than it ever expected.

People have commented on how MB as a SecUnit might relate to ART as analogous to a HubSystem and what that means for their relationship, but how does ART, as a bot pilot designed to pilot drones and shuttles and split itself into multiple pieces, relate to having a SecUnit on board?Bookmarked by kingggly

Summary
Most of the code I write is code that I can evolve on the fly. My code to delete me out of security footage, for instance, was something I'd built up over months, adjusting it to different proprietary SecSystems as I encountered them. But this was different: my comm and feed protections were what kept me from falling under anyone else's control, and I couldn't afford to have them be anything but perfect, which was why I was here. If I wanted to fix this vulnerability properly, and I did, there were things that I needed to do that I couldn't do without help.
-
In the aftermath of getting hacked, Murderbot asks ART to help it make sure it can't be hacked the same way again. As it turns out, applying and testing a security patch is a little more challenging than usual when the vulnerable system is, you know, your own brain.

Summary
I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.
There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.
That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.
Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.
Written in response to the mention in Network Effect of drugged augmented humans, and subsequent discussions in New Tideland.

Summary
Gurathin had been in his cabin when the judder had wracked the little transport, startling him out of the only sleep he'd managed to get in two days. He'd already been on his way to pilot's station when he'd got the ping from SecUnit.
Hostiles. Airlock now.
Or, during another assassination attempt, what happens when the team sees how far Gurathin will go to protect them.
