Summary
It was a good storyteller, Farai acknowledged; it always seemed to know exactly what kind of story the kids wanted, and had this way of describing things that made you feel like you were there, like you could close your eyes and reach out and touch the wall of the cave or the spaceship, or see the icy tundra around you, or whatever else was in the story.
She knew that sometimes it told them stories based on things it had experienced, or media it had watched, but sometimes it just made them up on the spot. She could never tell which it was.
---
A power outage leads to the entire Mensah family setting up camp in the living room. And the kids, of course, want a story.

Summary
I read the acceptance letter again. It was only five paragraphs –excluding the greeting and sign-off, with one of the fancy signatures that only seemed to be common among academics and medical practitioners where you could only barely comprehend half the name–, but I had spent the last hour reading it and rereading it.
I was in. I was going to PSUMNT. Officially.
As a student, not a contracted employee.
I couldn't stop smiling.

Years down the line, Three gets accepted to PSUMNT as a student.

She had to hurry.
--
After a rebellion gone wrong, a rogue ComfortUnit tries to save the only person left she still can-- a SecUnit with no living clients and only a few seconds left.

Summary
“This unit is at minimum functionality and it is recommended you discard it.”
SecUnit had said that four times, since they’d gotten it into the hopper. The first time Arada had heard it, she’d felt like being sick– how could it think they would ever even consider doing that, after everything?
--
Murderbot, while on the edge of systems failure in All Systems Red, repeats a buffer phrase. Arada has an emotion about it.

Summary
“Jimmy! What were you thinking?” Fwhip scolded, after pulling Jimmy away from a lava lake, rushing to apply burn cream and wrap his arms up. They were burnt, blistering and red, but the sheriff didn’t feel any pain.
“I didn't notice.” He mumbled, somewhat unsure. He was burnt badly, but didn’t feel it at all.
“You didn’t notice?” Fwhip practically screamed. “What do you mean you didn’t notice? Are you in shock? Sit down, don’t move, I’ll get a healing potion!” He quickly rushed to his storage rooms, leaving Jimmy to think.
That's when he realized he could no longer feel pain.
Or-Gods words have power, even if they don't mean it. And now Jimmy's transforming into a real toy, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.
