    Summary

    SecUnit and Gurathin agree to be married, temporarily, for ease of travel during an assignment. After a violent encounter and a bad wormhole jump, they crash land on a habitable planet and discover their entire ship is suffering from amnesia. Nobody remembers anything from their past. The ship's records are badly scrambled. The planet is too far for anyone to reach safely. When Gurathin and SecUnit find the record that indicates they are married, they build a life together as marital partners, not knowing their union is based on a lie.

    Summary

    Tarik: It's basically just a game, Three. It's supposed to make me be afraid, but not really afraid. Or— I mean I will be really afraid, but if it's while I'm— you know, turned on— and knowing it's really just you—

    Three: Perihelion has just provided me with information. Please wait while I review it.

    Tarik: Oh good. I'm going to get a coffee.

    (Or: Tarik and Three play a game with Three's guns. ART plays a game with their minds.)

    Summary

    Three's model of Secunit and Murderbot's have a number of notable differences, from weapons types to... other important parts, and even to maintenance scheduling needs. There were different learning curves for Three and Peri about keeping it functional while not under Barish-Estranza's thumb. Sometimes being rogue is hard, but having others to support you helps.

    On a mission, Three makes a decision for itself, and sticks to it.
