    "And I, Sun Wukong," he says, grinning wider as Wukong pouts deeper, "don't hate you, too."

    Summary

    We had (somehow) survived GrayCris. There was just one problem. My humans kept calling me he now.

    I didn’t know what to make of this. It made me feel like they weren’t quite seeing me. Like at the beginning of the survey, when I first saved Bharadwaj and they started acting all team-y around me. But from the way they had talked, it was clear they didn’t understand what a SecUnit was. Instead, it was like I was their pet bot. It wasn’t until I blew LeeBeeBee’s head off that they realized they had been trying to befriend a murderbot. They saw me for what I was; a killing machine.

    When they said he, I hated it. It made my organics flinch. My performance reliability dropped a percentage each time. And it felt like the pet bot incident all over again; like they weren’t seeing me, but what they wanted to see. I didn’t want to be their pet bot, but I didn’t want to have to act like I was human either. Especially not some human man. Is that how they saw me? Is that what I would have to be now on Preservation?

    --
    In which Murderbot struggles with stupid human assumptions about gender, has a heart-to-heart with its favorite human, and submits to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

    "I knew that generally I wouldn’t want people to know my name or what I was or who I was. That stuff was private. It was for me."

    Summary

    “i dont want to be a pet bot.”

    I think I fucked up my memory rebuild somehow. If I was smart, I would have told someone. A soft reset might have prevented this, or maybe a system rollback, or something. But I wasn't feeling very smart at that moment. I was just scared.

    “We know, SecUnit. That won't happen.”


    Five times Murderbot saw Miki again, and one time it didn't.

    "I knew I was failing at even the most basic aspects of being a person, but I could still be security. I wasn't ready—"

    Summary

    When visiting a nature preserve on Preservation's planet, Three finds a lost bunny and decides to help it find it's human.

    Or, Three befriends a rabbit, because the idea of that just brings me such joy and, frankly, it deserves a little bunny friend.
