Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory, by Martha Wells

Available online here. Really long title given that it’s a short story, but it’s a Murderbot story so I’ll take it. This one is from the point of view of Mensah, Murderbot’s favorite human, and I love her narrative voice; in her own way she’s very like Murderbot, aware of her own weaknesses but unwilling to face them. I loved seeing Murderbot through her eyes as well, the physical description colored by her feelings. Not too much action but great emotional punch.
