    Summary

    The plan had one obvious flaw.

    Without my ART memories I wouldn't know that I needed to get those memories back from Gurathin. I wouldn't remember sending them to him. Which meant trusting Gurathin to realize what had happened and fix it for me.

    Fucking Gurathin.

    I would like to shout out "An Unexpected Quarter" by i_have_loved_the_stars_too_fondly and the "NULLverse" series by flipspring for inspiring elements of this story.

    Summary

    "It was more like a SecUnit than a bot, so much so I wondered if it was a construct, if there was cloned organic brain tissue buried in its systems somewhere."

    Summary

    ART said, more cautiously than I was used to from it, This is more akin to physical touch than what you usually find tolerable.

    I knew that, but I didn’t like thinking about it. It was fine.

    ART took me at my word for it, and having it squish me became part of the things we did when I was anxious or plagued by stress toxins in my system. Sometimes I asked it to do it even when I was feeling okay. It was a nice feeling. At the time I thought of it as comfortable and relaxing. Without someone physically present touching me, it registered more like the pressure of being underwater, and that just didn’t repulse me like touching skin did.

    It’s true that it was relaxing, but the reason I liked it so much was secretly that it felt good. I hadn’t even admitted it to myself at the time, but I kept asking ART to squeeze me, and eventually things escalated.

    Summary

    The ship says that it is my client.

     

    ---

    The ship that Murderbot hitches a ride with in Rogue Protocol decides it wants a SecUnit friend of its own, and manages to acquire one, with Ship itself listed as the client. With no humans on board, there's nothing to stop them from watching media together until the contract is up.
