Summary
Dr. Murry does not like to consider herself a petty person. But she thinks that, if necessary, she could survive another two years off the look on Mrs. Mulligan’s face when she strolls into the post office, her clean-shaven, newly bespectacled, and brightly grinning husband in tow.
The epilogue that the better Dr. Murry deserves.

Summary
Six in the morning is the most common wake-up time in the building, so I am chiming in apartments of every floor. The more people I am interacting with simultaneously, the more rote and the less customized the interactions become. Some tasks are more processor intensive than others.
Ms. Potts is one of the 6AM wakers, which means Mr. Stark will be up soon.
I wait patiently for him to drink a minimum of three ounces of coffee before speaking to him. "Sir, you have a publicity meet-and-greet at eight thirty."
"In the morning?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why?"
"I merely keep the schedule, sir, I do not make the appointments."

Summary
I took a deep breath and opened my assignment.
Stacey.
My stomach flipped nervously. She was so sophisticated, it was going to be hard to find the right thing for her. I wished I’d gotten Kristy or Mallory or Jessi instead–it was easy to know what they’d like. I bit my lip and looked around. Everyone else looked excited and I tried to smile.
Hopefully inspiration would strike.

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.
