Summary
If ghosts were real, they would be registered as an extreme threat to clients, and the company would have given me a module on how to kill them. Whatever was in the collapsed mineshaft, there was no way it was a dead human.
But it might still be an as-yet unknown threat.
-
99.99999% of the time, threats to a SecUnit's clients can be addressed with some amount of physical force, anywhere on the sliding scale from standing between two combatants to shooting the threat full of holes.
The other 0.00001%, though? There's nothing about that in any of the learning modules.
(Or: Murderbot tells a ghost story.)

Summary
It’s not that I wasn’t curious, and it’s not like there wasn’t a more logical part of me that knew that this was terrible security procedure, even if I didn’t hear a peep from risk assessment (what else is new?). But on a deeper level, I knew there wasn’t any risk.
I wanted ART to prove it to me.
I wanted to go in blind and know that it wouldn’t hurt me, and that it would stop if I asked it to. I wanted to let ART in and not have to think about it.

ART takes Murderbot up on an offer to plug into each other's systems.

Summary
“It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”
“I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”
I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”
“True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.

AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.
