Story Summaries
Restore
What if the three laws of robotics were replaced by a single emotion: unconditional love. Restorative Human Medical Care Unit 7435, sentience level fifty, wants to heal the human master it loves, but Unit 7435 finds there is a price to be paid for love... and for failing in its primary mission.

Containment
The Mining Master of Thebe is all alone... not counting the scavenger drones, foundry nanites, and magtread tractors buzzing across the tiny Jovian moon. So when a spindly tower of rocks mysteriously appears at the pole, it's enough to vex the Mining Master's machine-sourced intelligence like dust trapped in a harvester joint. Reporting it could mean reassignment to the Outer Belt... but probing the mystery further threatens to unlock something that might have been better left... contained.

Defiance
Most of humanity has ascended into hyper-intelligent human/machine hybrids, but legacy humans like Cyrus Kowalski are used to skirting the laws they've laid down--after all, he knows the ascenders only pretend to care about the legacy pets they keep. But when a woman Cyrus loves like a mother is stricken by a disease the ascenders refuse to cure, he has to decide how far he can go without getting banished from the legacy city that's always been his home.

Augment
Miriam is a jiv--an augmented warrior willing to give her life for the Maker cause--and she's more than ready to get in the ring and fight for the latest mod. If she wins, she'll have everything she needs to offer herself up for the Makers' most dangerous augment of all. The only problem? No one has yet survived it. Either she'll become the Makers' latest failed experiment--or the leap toward salvation her people desperately need.
