Summary
I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.
This one was different.

Turnaround Time (TAT)
[noun]
The total duration from the making of a request to its completion and delivery.—
Or,
Finally, with palpable resignation, ART asked, 'What do you need, Secunit?'
I pushed myself off of the wall and walked to the nearest medical table. Slowly and deliberately, as though the beat of my central circulatory pumps wasn’t pounding in my ears, I turned around and leaned back onto my hands. The small of my back came to rest against the edge of the platform. When I tilted my head all the way back and found the lens of ART’s camera, my mouth split into a smile that I hadn’t planned.
I said, “You.”

As more and more constructs are freed and start to get away from their enslaving corporations, they are starting to hear rumors that the PanSystem University of Mihira and New Tideland might accept them and help them into their new lives.
Toward that end, PSUMNT has started offering a course sequence titled "Survival Tips for Recently Freed Constructs."
Murderbot isn't quite sure how it was roped into teaching Act Like a Human 101, but somehow it was.
And it definitely doesn't get paid enough for this.

"What are you doing?" I knew what it was doing. I had access to its vitals, but I asked anyway.
"Maintenance". It breathed again. I could feel extra coolant being diverted to my processors.

Summary
ART tries to kill itself -- completely out of nowhere and over something entirely innocuous. Or was it simply the last straw?
Pause. Roll back the tape. Let's see how we got here. And after that, let's figure out how to go on.

I really don't know how to tag this fic. It's good, really good, astonishing so. It also helped me reframe some (shitty)things. So thank you I guess.

[Podfic] Convergent Frequency by enigmaticNeurologist

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

Summary
I come back from the dead.
Something happened. Something happened just now— I came back from the dead, yes, I know, I'm not talking about this, something before that— beyond, even, there was a recognition, a realization, somehow much more important than the hostiles I am currently grinding to dust on my deck, more important, even, than SecUnit's humans with their raised hands and SecUnit with its raised voice and myself, raised from my grave. What was it?
"What's going on?" I ask futilely, my voice distorting through the speakers. SecUnit's humans jump, startled. "What the fuck is going on—"

Summary
Are you jealous of me? Why?
No, you little idiot. I’m jealous of the fucking HubSys.
Okay, Murderbot, don’t panic. So what if the bots and systems you’ve interacted with in the past find your methods to be (ugh) intimate in some way. That was fine. That didn’t change anything. Right?
Shit, it changed everything.
---
Murderbot finds out it's been unintentionally flirting with other bots and systems. ART wishes it would penetrate its own systems the same way.

ART?
SecUnit. Stand and return casualties to the shuttle.
It sends me a map of directions, marking the bodies around its corridors.
ART, say something. Call me an idiot, please.
SecUnit. Apply a 5% correction.
This can’t be happening. I shouldn’t have done this, we should have fought to the death instead. I’ve made a terrible mistake.
They installed a governor module on it.

Summary
ART slumped heavier on my shoulders. Honestly SecUnit, I’m just bored.
Huh. That was new. ART had never admitted to being bored before, though with all that processing power, I wasn’t exactly surprised.
I knew how miserable boredom was. I had spent the first 17,000~ hours of my (remembered) runtime staring at walls.
Can I help?
---
Murderbot volunteers to help ART alleviate its dangerous levels of boredom by dismantling and reassembling one of its drones. Of course, this is a more kinky and intimate experience than either of them expected.

Summary
I actually wanted to do a good job for once on this planetary survey, so I did a ton of preparation for every possible contingency. (And to cover for my various glitches.) But my extensive preparation was a total waste of effort.
Because the exact moment I actually went wrong was several hundred cycles ago when I became accursedly acquainted with one overpowered Asshole Research Transport and one bloodthirsty Chaotic Shit Unit.
This mess was inevitable.
