   Summary

   I promised myself that I would never kill in cold blood again—

   —but my hatred feels like lava in my veins, and I'm not sure I give a shit about that right now.

   Right now, my blood feels hot.

   Summary

   While on an undercover mission deep in the Corporation Rim, Tarik buys steals rescues acquires a ComfortUnit. This is fine—it can hang out while he finishes the mission, he’ll be not-an-asshole to it, and then it can go on its liberated way and never have to see him again. This will definitely not get weird and messy.

   Summary

   Murderbot's new client is... complicated. She's also an old friend of Ayda Mensah, Murderbot's favorite human.

   The mission seems straightforward at first. But keeping Dr. Silnot alive will also turn out to be... complicated.
