Summary
“It’s an invitation to go to a university and talk to some bots, what’s to make of it?” I said. Then the obvious reason behind Bharadwaj asking occurred to me. Oh, great. “Don’t tell me you’re actually thinking about going?”
“I’m considering it,” Bharadwaj said. “I set my own schedule these days, and I would very much like to speak with the bots they’ve been working with, if nothing else.”
I sighed. I like sighing at appropriate moments, and I think I’m pretty good at it at this point. “There are bots on Preservation.”
“True, but the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland has one of the most advanced programs in this section of the galaxy for the construction and study of higher-level bots!” Bharadwaj said, making one of those hand gestures she liked for emphasis.

AU after Fugitive Telemetry. Bharadwaj, Mensah, and Gurathin take a trip to do some research and rapidly uncover more than they'd bargained for. Why did Murderbot tag along on this low-risk research trip? Listen, don't worry about it.

Admiration and Appreciation by sanctuaryrin

Summary
SecUnit pulled back then. Its hands still lingered on it. Its unfocused eyes locked with the camera.
Peri took a moment to find its voice. When it did, it came out like a breathless human.
That is…a highly questionable way of utilizing university-issued medical technology.
SecUnit slurred, “Fuck the university.”
It pressed its lips on it again.After a night out at Preservation Station goes awry, the humans end up having to babysit a drugged-up Murderbot. Little do they know things are about to get 100% weirder when they pass that responsibility off to ART.

Summary
I wanted ART to come back online so we could watch Sanctuary Moon episode 412 together and it could argue with me about whether spacetime-fuckery alternate universes counted as canon. I wanted it to come back online so I could tell it Holism put an aquarium in Three's chest and wasn't that totally deranged. I wanted it to come back online so it could bully me into figuring out what my fucking problem was.

This fic isn't about Murderbot and ART having sex. It's definitely not. Murderbot would know if it were and it's not, so it isn't.

Summary
I guess I’d been feeling kind of cooped up the past few cycles. ART and I had just returned from a cargo run: weeks with just the two of us, watching media and goofing around. Now I was on my way to some far off moon to look for frozen bacteria in ice samples or something and its hull was packed full of crew members and researchers and grad students all needing to be chauffeured around to different stations and planets.
'I have a better idea.' ART highlighted a path on my map of its interior and gave me a little nudge in the feed.
Murderbot's feeling pent-up.

Summary
Since SecUnit has a filter it can understand, ART requests its help as it attempts to get data on human experiences it otherwise couldn’t.
The problem is, SecUnit thinks that the way humans have sex is gross.
It’s a good thing neither of them are human.

Summary
I blurted, "Bots can get married on Preservation."
Suddenly, I had 84% of ART's attention. It had been sitting at 62% so the sudden weight of it almost made me physically react. Almost.
"Then it is a shame my options for marital partners on Preservation are null."
