Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
Planets are dumb and dangerous, but at this point I'd argued— okay, more like complained— complargued so many times that nobody except ART was still willing to argufy back.
(That stands for argue-pacify, in case it isn't obvious. I think it's not obvious. And no, I hadn't forgiven ART yet for saying I needed pacifying.)
Anyway, I was currently complarguing from my seat in the back of the snow-capable bot-driven transport heading out to the middle of nowhere, so I had the sneaking suspicion I'd lost the fight.
Murderbot accompanies its humans on a winter vacation. Then the storm hits.

Summary
Rogue SecUnit maintenance is untread territory. It is much easier to keep a SecUnit functional when it has access to the infrastructure it was built to use. Without access, you must provide your own infrastructure to it.
“You didn't have to do that. I didn't ask for an update,” it grouses.
You're uncertain what it will take for your SecUnit to realize its need for this infrastructure.
In which ART is just trying to take care of Murderbot, and Murderbot is just trying not to overreact (read: panic, have a flashback, dissociate). And they get mad at each other instead of talking about it. That’s the whole fic.
