    Summary

    During a diplomatic trip to the university's home system to better establish the newly-formed treaty with the Preservation Alliance, Three tries to figure out who it is. Between exploring new hobbies and its sense of fashion, it attempts to figure out what its relationship with Murderbot 1.0 is, precisely. (Murderbot 1.0 ignores this, until it doesn't).

    Summary

    On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.

    “You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.

    “How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.

    “Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”

    Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

    Summary

    Anakin watches the way his soon-to-be master and his master’s former apprentice circle around each other and thinks, abruptly, of two suns, and how one rises first in the morning, followed by the other.  The first star always leading, the second star always in its wake.

    Binary systems, Anakin keeps thinking, long after that first night they spend together in Qui-Gon's quarters.  Who’s orbiting who? he wonders. They know each other so well. Will I ever be able to understand Qui-Gon that way?

    Anakin had expected Coruscant to be different.  He had expected to feel out of step, missing vital pieces of information.  But he had not expected to feel so out of place at Qui-Gon’s side.

    Summary

    Alpha steps forward and gathers CC-2224 under the arms; he lifts him and sets him on his hip and waits until he is dismissed to take CC-2224 to retrieve a new uniform. He notices, in walking, that CC-2224 is looking around in awe.

    He shifts when Alpha sets him down in the laundry supply closet for the floor. Alpha looks up after sorting through various sizes of cadet pants and throws everything down.

    He snatches CC-2224 right before he climbs right into one of the drying machines. He snaps at the boy and receives a wide-eyed look. CC-2224 cringes back against Alpha’s arm. His lips press together and, though frightened, his gaze doesn’t leave Alpha’s own eyes.

    It is—Not right. He’s not right. Something’s wrong.

     

    (sunshine and the shade of poetry side story: Alpha-17 is assigned a batch of tubies to look after when he's still a cadet. And there's one particular tubie that he forms a special bond with.)
