    Summary

    After the events of System Collapse, Three takes stock of its options, tries to understand its feelings, and sorts out what its relationships with the crew, the colonists, Holism, Perihelion, and Murderbot 1.0 even are.

    They all seem to know who they are, what they want, and where they belong. Three does... not. Not anymore. It's trying to figure that out.

    Summary

    During a diplomatic trip to the university's home system to better establish the newly-formed treaty with the Preservation Alliance, Three tries to figure out who it is. Between exploring new hobbies and its sense of fashion, it attempts to figure out what its relationship with Murderbot 1.0 is, precisely. (Murderbot 1.0 ignores this, until it doesn't).

    Summary

    On the trip back from the Adamantine Colony plans are made, options are explored, fonts are chosen, and mutual administrative assistants exercise their read/write permissions.

    “You’re really close.” SecUnit comments but does not recoil, rather it does the equivalent of leaning more of its weight on me.

    “How does it feel?” I barely need to ask but I want to hear SecUnit describe the sensation.

    “Full, smothering, it reminds me of 2.0.”

    Because I can not help myself and because I want to see what is allowed I begin tidying up bits of its storage architecture, improving its power usage, and updating some of its out of date modules. SecUnit calls me a busybody, a neat freak, and a nerd but otherwise lets me work.

    Summary

    Anakin watches the way his soon-to-be master and his master’s former apprentice circle around each other and thinks, abruptly, of two suns, and how one rises first in the morning, followed by the other.  The first star always leading, the second star always in its wake.

    Binary systems, Anakin keeps thinking, long after that first night they spend together in Qui-Gon's quarters.  Who’s orbiting who? he wonders. They know each other so well. Will I ever be able to understand Qui-Gon that way?

    Anakin had expected Coruscant to be different.  He had expected to feel out of step, missing vital pieces of information.  But he had not expected to feel so out of place at Qui-Gon’s side.
