Summary
SecUnit will see through its drone views that Three is approaching the lounge, and slide down off its favourite padded chair onto the floor without ceremony. And Three, seeing it when it enters the room, will silently lie down next to it, shoulder to shoulder.

Or, how the floor becomes the foundation for: peace, friendship, security, and life.

Summary
I sent ART the edited file along with a snapshot of my recent haptic sensor logs, which mostly looked like [deleted] [deleted] [deleted].
ART took a moment to process that. Your difficulty with physical touch extends beyond merely touching or being touched by humans, it surmised.
I guess, yeah. I bristled at calling it a ‘difficulty’: it wasn't hard to touch things, I just didn't like doing it. But I had a system for dealing with that, so whatever, it wasn't an issue.
---
Or, ART wants to make Murderbot comfortable. (And yes, it would like to feel that for itself, too.)

[Podfic] More Aggressive Measures by peasina
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
10 Jul 2026

Summary
After a high-stress mission, Murderbot ends up having to take drastic measures to bring down its excessively high cortisol levels. While hesitant at first, it finds that the more extreme methods bear little resemblance to their human counterparts and are a useful tool for routine hormonal maintenance.
And then ART finds out.

Murderbot Goes To SpaceFuture!Vegas and Hates It by aleph_zero

Summary
Look, it's not exactly easy to steal a shitton of money from a casino corporation.
They're paranoid as fuck, for starters, almost as paranoid as the company. As a general rule, you don't get nearly that rich by being anything short of obsessively protective of your ill-gotten gains. You're in the business of giving out hard currency to winners; you'd better be fucking sure that no one's hacking anything in your systems. Also, obviously, you have to have a plan for the thousands of rival corporations hoping for/plotting your downfall.
Basically, what I'm saying is that ART's idea of a relaxing vacation for its very first shore leave (yes, it had been a whole thing. For some reason Tarik had started it, and Pin-Lee and Mensah had gotten involved) was inadvisable from the start.

Or, Murderbot and ART go on a fun Vegas vacation.

It's not about humans, I grit out. I haven't— I don't want to hurt humans.
Then whatever the hell is the issue—
I hurt you.
ART is stunned into silence. I cover my face.
