Summary
I come back from the dead.
Something happened.

Summary
SecUnit is trapped in a time loop, and has to rely on its organic neurons to find a way out. Its leading theory, that this is all due to an intense quasi-political fight between universities, is starting to look like a dead end. The loops might be changing.

Murderbot participates in a Preservation holiday gift exchange where it has to hand make something for one of its humans.
There are three problems with this:
1) It draws Mensah's name, of all people
2) It has no idea how to make anything
3) And it's not even sure it's capable of such a thing, seeing as its a terrifying rogue murderbot and all.It's a good thing it has humans who can help it.
