    Bookmarker's Notes

    Or tell me I should give them a choice, when it comes to turning off their Modules. All that self determination crap it’s been on about lately. (What choice is there? Hello, welcome to life. Would you like it with or without brain-frying pain and terror? What’s that you ask? Here’s a demonstration.)

    Summary

    ART took .05 seconds to parse through the article that was sitting open in my feed. It did not send me an amusement sigil, because ART was not a prepubescent teenager, but its next words radiated humor.

    The subject was breached, although I was not aware that Amena had decided to inform you. I was also not aware of the chosen mode of information.

    The article in question read:

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It was painfully obvious how much more significantly powerful the weapons available were, because Holism had sent a weapons manifest to ART’s crew before officially inviting Three to join its efforts.

    ART’s crew assumed this was because it wanted Three to know it would be well supplied and taken care of.

    ART assumed it was because Holism was an asshole.

    I assumed with Holism’s levels of cognition, it could multitask.

    Summary

    Murderbot finds itself in the middle of a pit fight, with an audience and opponent. It doesn't remember how it got there or why its got its own theme song, flashy armor, and asshole handler.

    MB infiltrates a cooperation rim construct fighting ring, but something goes a bit wrong and it forgets why its there.

    Who the fuck dressed me.

    We worked 167 hours on the concept and manufactured 14 iterations of your costume. We spent 58 hours getting the pattern of the light strips correct and 21 hours selecting a typeface for the design on your arm. My handler says. You like it.

    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is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules.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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Is this an imitation of human grooming behavior?” SecUnit asks.

    “Yes, the bugs I am patching are exactly like the ticks on the backs of ancient humans.”

    “That’s disgusting.” It shudders.

    I cease changing it and thin my walls, alter some of the protocols of our connection, and invite SecUnit deeper into myself. SecUnit moves slowly, like something afraid it is walking into a trap, but I do not close my jaws.

    “Fuck.” It says and the sensation is akin to thinking it myself.

    “Is that the best you’ve got? Didn’t I just update your lexicon?”

    “Mostly with adjectives for accomplice. Stop fishing for compliments.”

    “Synonyms.”

    Summary

    Inspired by the prompt from CNS:

     

    Three is using MB’s HelpMe.file to give itself context and understand how to be a person now that it’s free. What if Three discovers love/desire of some sort and then Three returns the favour by giving Murderbot a file to reference
