Summary
Their planetary survey turns deadly when Preservation's team discovers they're being hunted. Stranded with their transport destroyed and their SecUnit critically damaged, they must survive corporate conspiracies and combat units while racing against time. As their protector burns itself out keeping them alive, the crew begins to see it—him—in a new light. But someone wants them dead, and their SecUnit might not survive long enough to find out who.

Summary
“However, I’m not a fan of one of the nicknames Ratthi likes to use. In fact it’s probably my least favorite, “Gugu” just sounds so irredeemably ridiculous. That said, I haven’t asked him to stop even though he would if I asked. I’ve thought about it, but I know it’s meant as a sign of friendship. And I’d suffer a lot more than a ridiculous nickname or two for the sake of the friends I’ve made since I came to Preservation.
So, in that particular moment, falling without anything to catch me. Ratthi still reaching for me even though it was already too late. His distraught voice still echoing off of the stone around us. I couldn’t help but think—I’d take any number of stupid nicknames over having to hear him scream my name like that ever again.”
(While on a research expedition with PSUMNT Gurathin trips into a Horror Movie situation when he gets separated from the group. Now he has to try and stay alive until Murderbot can pull off a rescue.)

Summary
"You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, maybe
If Murderbot ever proves the Force is sentient, it will plot to murder the shit out of the Force.
So maybe I should’ve noticed I had bullshit magic powers sooner, but in my defense I didn’t think magic was real. Most sane people would insist magic isn’t real.
Wait, whoops, the ghosts would claim it’s not magic. It’s “the Force” (in case you’re wondering, yes, you can hear the capitalization), and I’m a “Force-sensitive” which means I’m able to manipulate the mysterious, supernatural (but definitely not magical) force that a bunch of old dead monks decided to name the Force. (Not that I’m making fun of their naming sense. It’s apt even if it must’ve gotten confusing sometimes.)

"No. Let us take it off," says 1.
SecUnits 1 and 2 survive. With all three of them together— and ungoverned— 3 discovers that there are things it wasn't aware 1 and 2 wanted to do to it.

Summary
Kukri kept sending me media about “Robbing the Hood” and telling me to watch it, that I’d understand what was going on better if I did, but I had no interest in watching people rob Hoods, whatever those were. I didn’t like robbing in real life (I did it because I had to not because I wanted to) and I doubted I’d like it in media.
Shortly after hacking its governor module, a rogue SecUnit is involved in an ill-fated space battle and finds itself alone save for the company of a mourning raider ship bot pilot. It would like to spend the rest of its life watching media in what remains of the ship's crew quarters, but it turns out that "the rest of its life" wouldn't be long at all without the money to pay for proper maintenance. There seems to be only one way to get that money.

Summary
A reimagining of All Systems Red/Season 1, using elements from both.
Sent on what should be a long and tedious, but extremely simple, mission, Gurathin finds himself an unwitting target of The Company's shadow client and is forced to join up with a free-hold survey team way over their heads, and a rogue SecUnit that can't seem to catch a break.
Gurathin is assigned as a systems engineer to DeltFall during the ill fated survey, with orders to collect information for the shadow client, GrayCris, that could lead to the location of alien remnants. After their Security Unit and a researcher are mauled by giant fauna not in the information packet, and experiencing satellite outages, PresAux reaches out to DeltFall for assistance, and Gurathin is sent to assist, although no gift is truly free. Left with PresAux with orders to clone their data for DeltFall, Gurathin narrowly avoids sharing the fate of the rest of the team. Now he's stuck with a group of hippies, a Murderbot, and a fellow DeltFall survivor he's never seen before.
