This is a (super) short story and the prequel to Murderbot Diaries' first book "All Systems Red".
We get to meet Murderbot in its early days of freedom from the governor module and it's wonderful! You can see the personality, the sass and the attitude take root.
The media-loving Murderbot (yes, you bet it was watching "The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon") faces a dilemma: help the humans (ugh) and risk exposing its secret OR follow orders, do nothing and watch media. Murderbot is never given an easy choice huh.

Since I hacked my governor module, I sometimes do things and I'm not sure entirely why. (Apparently suddenly getting free will after having 93% of your behavior controlled for your entire existence will do weird things to your impulse control.)
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Death and Violence

This is the shortest story possible, but I loved it so much.
This takes place just after Murderbot hacked It's governor module and is essentially an introduction to Murderbot as a character. This tiny story captures so much of Its personality and character and it's so worth it, despite it being so short.
