    Summary

    The problem is that stupid humans take an average of 7-9 hours to go through a healthy restart cycle and during that time they are hyper-vulnerable to attack. It’s a security risk.

    Murderbot is having issues managing its paranoia and perception of reality after the events on the Adamantine colony planet. Its favourite human and favourite transport bot help it feel better and it complains the whole time.

    Summary

    “You should restart.”

    “Don’t tell me what to do.”

    “Fine. You need a restart. Whether you choose to take care of your own needs, or to continue sulking like a petulant human child, is entirely your decision.”

    Summary


    "It should have been creepy. I had been in places like this that were really creepy. But this wasn't. Maybe because I knew where the humans and augmented humans who had last used this ship had gone, that their descendants were running around all over this system."

    How can the ghosts of the past be frightening when they love, and are loved?
     
        Remember us. We are a promise to you that there will always be hope.

        You are home.
     
    The ghosts of the Pressy speak to their successors. Or, Murderbot is empowered to pursue the ideal SecUnit's rescue because Preservation's ideals support it.

    Summary

    Murderbot learns what promotions are and why it's important to some humans (and SecUnits) to get that kind of recognition.

    And along the way it realizes that it has friends who will help it with weird stuff like dealing with Human Resources.
