Summary
Amena was crying.
My first instinct was to turn and walk away. She hadn’t seen me yet, so I could. Reluctantly, though, I rejected that option. She was alone, crying, sitting by herself on a bench in an empty public space. It was unfavourable for Amena to be upset. I needed to do something to rectify the situation.
(Prompt #20: “I’m going to regret this.”)

Summary
"You're a space wizard, Murderbot. You'll hate it. It'll be great." - The Force, probably
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.)

Summary
“What is it,” SecUnit said. Three of its drones whirred up to circle around its head.
“Not an emergency,” Pin-Lee said, leaning against the doorframe. “I just need to speak to you about some complaints I’ve received recently.”
“Ah,” Mensah said. “SecUnit, I thought I asked you to stop.”
It slumped down in its chair. “Whoever’s complaining brought it upon themselves.”
(Prompt #16: Virus.)

Summary
When the shuttle returns from the blackout zone to ART carrying their humans, Supervisor Leonide, deactivated ART-drone, and partially incapacitated SecUnit, there's still a lot to do. Namely, get one (1) injured SecUnit repaired when it absolutely does not want to be repaired anywhere near a corporate using the same medical bay.
One slightly questionable decision later to skip medsys altogether and just wait for Leonide to leave, Murderbot finds itself being looked after.

Summary
Murderbot doesn't believe plants count as clients, but as it escorts ART in a cultural exchange between Preservation and the Pansystem, with ART transporting multiple cargo modules of native Preservation flora to the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland, maybe there's something to all that foliage Murderbot can come to understand.
