    Summary

    “It is not your concern,” ART said. “They are no longer your clients.”
    That was true. They weren’t my clients. But they used to be, and the thought of them going off by themselves to get chewed on by hostile fauna or whatever was doing funny things to my performance reliability.
    I didn’t say that out loud, but ART knew I was thinking it anyway, because it’s a monster.
    “For a construct that claims to hate its function, you are remarkably dedicated to it.” ART does this thing sometimes where it says something that sounds like a compliment but in such an obnoxious tone that it feels like an insult anyway.
    “Fuck off, ART.”
    “You fuck off.”
    So, I decided to go on the survey.

    Several years after they met on RaviHyral, Tapan and her collective contact Murderbot with a job offer. As their security consultant on a planetary survey, Murderbot must contend with malfunctioning equipment, hostile fauna, and an overabundance of human emotion, all while maintaining its increasingly fragile disguise as an augmented human.

    Summary

    A great flood of emotion, of nonsense, rushes through Robin; he bites his tongue to keep it all at bay. You are life itself, and what a terrible job I would be doing at being human if I did not love you.

    (ch 17: an excerpt from ramy and robin’s opium-laden walk back to the english factory in the middle of the night)

    Summary

    Tyun cocked his head to one side. “Do you know any love stories with happy endings, Dreamer?” he asked. He was wearing only his sirwal; the sea spray was damp on his skin which shone in the sun, not unlike the silvery fins of the dolphins. “The boy and the dolphin should have run away long before the authorities came after them. He could have carried the boy out to sea and never returned.”

    Summary

    Adam bends his neck so their foreheads touch, and Rao laughs weakly, because god help him now, this is not something he’s going to come back from. This is a grand cosmic joke, of course, because the last few years of his life have been one long run of things that he’s never going to come back from, from Kabul to his resurrection in a field in Rajasthan. But Adam? Adam is ruinous in a completely different way.

     

    After the end.
