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
“I just barely got your humans trained. Now I’m going to have to start all over again...”
The Perihelion has been conscripted to provide transportation for a Pan-System University of Mihara and New Tideland Xenoarchaeology Department exoarchaeology survey of a long-abandoned space station, and Murderbot is tagging along for the ride. Though it just really wants to be left to watch its media in peace, it may not have any choice but to try and answer questions like 'What happened to the original colonists who disappeared without a trace?' and 'What really happened two the two PSUMNT researchers who were lost on the last expedition?'
Also... alien ghosts aren't real... are they?

Summary
Murderbot is on a critical mission: investigate and infiltrate the media conglomerate WarFlix, the organizer for the annual GlobeCon Event.
The fact that the head show-runner for The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon is a guest of honor at this year’s GlobeCon is a total coincidence.

Summary
My performance reliability dropped but the spike of fear upped my reaction time, and my body moved before I consciously realized that it wasn’t going to work.
I swung at TargetContact with my improvised club, but the force I put into the swing made my wrecked knee joint give out, and the blow only grazed it. I hit the floor again, and TargetContact was on top of me.
Turns out, I was right that this was going to be worse. I just had no idea exactly how much worse.
OR
Things go a lot worse for Murderbot at the end of Network Effect before they get better. This changes a good number of things, but maybe not anything that really matters. Like how far the people that love it are willing to go for its sake.

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.
