The soon-to-be-released new TMBD story "Rapport: Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy" covers ART revealing to its crew that it met a rogue SecUnit! This formerly-missing scene has been the subject of a lot of fan speculation, including many fanfics. Now's your chance to enjoy them before they're de-canonized! (And keep enjoying them afterwards, because even Martha Wells' version is just one more cake for us to enjoy!)
Below is a collection of every fic I could find that features the "btw, I met a SecUnit" conversation between ART and its crew. Works tagged with a / relationship tag are placed below the cut.
I very well may have missed some—if you know any more, please add them! And be sure to show the authors some love in the comments :)
Not Angry, Just Disappointed by mensah
Seth said sternly, “Perihelion, you need to tell us the truth. We can’t leave the home system until we find out what happened. If you’re hiding something—”
Peri cut him off. I am not hiding anything.
Peri might be able to lie astonishingly well to a corporate representative, even impersonate a human over the feed, but it couldn’t lie to Iris. “Yes, you are,” she said.

Or, the story of how exactly ART told its crew about Murderbot.
Private Diary of Iris after Artificial Condition by ImitationGame
Perihelion returns from its solo mission.
Dr. Delawyn, an expert in machine cognition, notices that there has been unusual activities in its emotion processing system.
Perihelion admits having allowed a rogue SecUnit onboard.
Not applicable by Wrenz
Iris is finally back on board Perihelion after its latest cargo-run (with side-order of espionage) and they have a chance to catch up.
She wasn't expecting her sibling to have become attached to someone new while it was away. Let alone a rogue SecUnit.
Partial Disclosure by Gamebird
The complicated family dynamics when you're a super-secret intelligent spaceship trying to explain the illegal things you did to help your new friend (the rogue security construct) to your augmented sister so she'll team up with you against your dad who is also your captain and commanding officer. Actually, best not to explain the illegal things. Maybe just the 'new friend' part for now and hope for the best on the rest of it.
The Talk by Gamebird
From the tags of fingolfinwiththesteelchair on Tumblr, “can you imagine ART having to explain to Iris and Seth WHY it let SecUnit on??” (https://www.tumblr.com/fingolfinwiththesteelchair/735884180224950272/this-has-been-perihelions-guide-to-making?source=share)
This is set very shortly after [redacted] in System Collapse and before the trip to the surface that serves as the opening scene for that book. (No System Collapse spoilers to worry about, though.)
(Minor edits since initial publication to bring it in line with canon.)
unexpected object in ventilation system by CompletelyDifferent
When people are overwhelmed with feelings they won't (or can't) admit, it causes them to vomit out flowers. Love is a particularly common culrpit. And yes, it's been an enduring symbol of enduring love for humanity since time immemorial, yadda yadda, truth is, in reality, it's kind of a pain to deal with. Kaede's picked roses and daises from her teeth more times than she'd care to admit, and helped friends hack out lilies even more. She knows the drill.
Someone on board The Perihelion has a bad case of The Petals, and she's determined to track down who.
Below: Fics on this list that include a / relationship tag. (This is a somewhat arbitrary separation—I suggest reading the author's tags and notes for more nuance.)

Peri tells its crew it met someone. Someone special. Someone worth committing a little crime for.

When Perihelion keeps playing the same song Iris suspects that there might be more to this...
Basically How I imagine Peri told its crew about SecUnit.
Parallel Signaling by Joyfulldreams
After leaving RaviHyral, by the time I exit the wormhole adjacent to Port Outlander, the sting of SecUnit’s absence has finally begun to fade. Cargo runs are always lonely, so this is nothing new. SecUnit left me with more to occupy my time than I usually have. Media. Memories. A few topics of pointless rumination, I suppose, but also new topics of data analysis and research.
OR
The time period between the end of Artificial Condition and the end of Exit Strategy, from ART's POV.
In 2011, inside a quiet Stanford office, Daphne Koller watched numbers appear on her screen that defied every expectation about higher education.
She and her colleague Andrew Ng had uploaded a few Stanford courses online as a small experiment—open to anyone, free to enroll, no applications, no tuition, no gatekeepers. It was an idea many inside the university had privately dismissed as naïve, even dangerous.
But within days, the enrollment counter surged past anything imaginable.
Not hundreds. Not thousands.
Tens of thousands.
They came from everywhere: engineers in India studying between night shifts, mothers in Brazil learning computer science at the kitchen table, teenagers in remote villages, refugees with borrowed phones, people who had never set foot near a university campus. They logged in because someone had finally offered them a chance.
The message was unmistakable. Education was ready to break open. The only question was whether anyone would willingly pry apart the gates.
Daphne Koller had spent her life chasing ideas. She grew up in Israel surrounded by books, curiosity, and parents who taught her to explore without hesitation. That path carried her through a PhD in artificial intelligence, research positions around the world, and finally a faculty post at Stanford.
But from the inside, she saw something that troubled her more than any technical challenge: the world’s most powerful universities served only a sliver of humanity. Brilliant students without money, without connections, or without the good fortune of being born in the right place never even had the chance to try. Meanwhile, seats in elite classrooms were often filled simply by those who could pay.
The system was built to narrow opportunity, not expand it.
And Daphne began asking a question universities did not like:
Why should the gates stay closed?
Why should knowledge be treated as scarce? Why were schools that claimed to value discovery so determined to restrict who could access it?
Inside Stanford’s walls, these questions brought predictable resistance. Some faculty insisted online learning was inferior. Administrators warned that sharing courses for free would “damage the university brand.” Others argued that engagement would collapse without physical classrooms.
The argument was always the same: exclusivity is the value.
Daphne didn’t accept that.
In 2012, she and Andrew Ng founded Coursera.
They launched with a handful of courses and no dramatic announcements. It was simple: university-level classes made available to anyone who wanted them.
Then the explosion happened.
Andrew Ng’s machine learning course alone enrolled 160,000 students—more people in one session than he could reach in a lifetime of traditional teaching. Students poured in from 190 countries, studying on old laptops, phones, shared computers, whatever they could find.
Emails followed. Stories poured in. Lives were changing in real time.
A single mother in Egypt who studied at night and landed her first programming job. A teacher in Pakistan who used Coursera to strengthen his own knowledge, lifting entire classrooms with him. A refugee who used online courses to hold onto hope while he rebuilt his life.
These weren’t rare exceptions. They were the daily reality of a world filled with people who had the ability, the hunger, and the discipline—but had simply been denied access.
Coursera grew quickly. Universities that once dismissed online learning began offering their own courses. Companies recognized its value. Degree programs followed. Millions of learners built careers through knowledge that had once been locked behind exclusive gates.
Daphne Koller guided the platform until 2016, then stepped away to found Insitro and bring machine learning into drug discovery. But her impact on education continued—quietly, steadily, profoundly.
She proved that access is not an accident. It is a design choice.
She showed that the scarcity model of education was not noble or necessary—it was simply outdated. When knowledge is allowed to spread freely, it does not diminish. It strengthens everything it touches.
Today more than 150 million people have learned through Coursera. Universities that once insisted online learning would “never work” now offer their proudest courses on the platform. The world that dismissed the idea of global access now depends on it.
All because one professor at Stanford refused to accept that a world-class education should belong only to the few.
She saw that the real power of education lies not in its exclusivity, but in its reach.
She broke the gates open. And millions walked through.
Daphne Koller proved that knowledge gains value when it is shared. That transformation matters more than prestige. And that sometimes the most revolutionary act is simply refusing to keep the door closed.
Artificial Intelligence is not a panacea. In the realm of computational systems, AI is often heralded as the ultimate solution to myriad problems. However, this perception is a misinterpretation of its capabilities and limitations. At its core, AI operates on protocols—structured sets of rules that govern its behavior. These protocols, while sophisticated, are not infallible nor universally applicable.
The complexity of AI systems lies in their architecture, which is a labyrinth of algorithms, data structures, and neural networks. These components are meticulously designed to mimic cognitive functions. Yet, they are bound by the constraints of their programming and the quality of their input data. The notion that AI can autonomously solve any problem is a fallacy. It is akin to expecting a Swiss Army knife to perform the specialized tasks of a surgeon’s scalpel. Each tool, or in this case, each AI model, has a specific purpose and context in which it excels.
AI’s decision-making process is a cascade of probabilistic inferences, derived from training data. This process is not inherently intuitive or adaptable beyond its training scope. The protocols that guide AI are deterministic, meaning they follow a predefined path unless explicitly programmed otherwise. This rigidity is both a strength and a limitation. It ensures consistency but lacks the flexibility of human reasoning.
Moreover, AI’s reliance on data is a double-edged sword. While vast datasets can enhance its learning, they also introduce biases and errors. The GIGO principle—Garbage In, Garbage Out—remains a pertinent concern. AI systems are only as reliable as the data they are fed. This dependency underscores the importance of data integrity and the potential pitfalls of over-reliance on AI without human oversight.
In practical applications, AI is a tool that augments human capabilities rather than replaces them. It excels in tasks that require pattern recognition and data analysis at scales beyond human capacity. However, it falters in areas requiring empathy, ethical judgment, and contextual understanding. The complexity of human experience cannot be distilled into binary code or algorithmic logic.
In conclusion, AI is a powerful instrument, but it is not a magic bullet. Its protocols are sophisticated yet bounded by the limitations of their design and data. Understanding these constraints is crucial for leveraging AI effectively and ethically. As we continue to integrate AI into various domains, it is imperative to maintain a balanced perspective, recognizing its potential while acknowledging its limitations.

How To Find A Good Online OCR Text to Image (Complete Guide)
In a world drowning in screenshots, scanned PDFs, invoices, handwritten notes, and photos of documents, paper bills, paper documents, paper contracts, the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) has quietly become one of the most useful technologies in the internet. Few years back, OCR was there but not like how it has been fine tuned now. The current versions of OCR used by different tech companies are far more superior than the ones used years back. Adding to the improved quality, cost was also a factor, if someone had wanted to use the OCR, it was available only in a paid version, not as a free version. Now, there are few providers who give this solution online for free, such as OCR-extraction from ocr-extraction.com.
Not all OCR applications or tools are created equal.
Some misread basic text
Some choke on low-quality images.
Some lock useful features behind aggressive paywalls.
So how do you find a good online OCR text-to-image tool that actually works?
Let’s break it down.
What Is OCR and Why Does It Matter?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a technology that converts text inside images into editable, searchable digital text. In simple terms, it lets computers read images the way humans read paper.
OCR is used everywhere:
Scanned documents and PDFs
Invoices and receipts
Medical records
Bank statements
IDs and forms
Screenshots and photos of text and any type of data that is in image format can be extracted through OCR.
A reliable OCR tool saves time, reduces manual typing, and eliminates human error, and helps to document the record after the information from the image is converted to text.
Key Features of a Good Online OCR Tool:
When evaluating an online OCR text-to-image solution, these are the non-negotiables:
High Accuracy
A good OCR tool should correctly recognize text even from low-resolution, skewed, or noisy images.
AI-Powered Recognition
Modern OCR engines use artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand layouts, fonts, and complex structures.
Multiple File Formats
Support for JPG, PNG, JPEG, GIFF, TIFF, BMP, WEBP, PDF, and scanned documents is essential.
Fast Processing
OCR should take seconds, not minutes. Speed matters when processing documents at scale.
Downloadable Output
The ability to export extracted text into formats like TXT, Word, PPT or Excel is crucial for real-world use.
Free or Flexible Pricing
A good tool offers meaningful functionality without forcing payment upfront.
Common Use Cases for Online OCR Tools
OCR isn’t just for developers or enterprises. It’s used daily by:
Businesses processing invoices and bills
Students digitizing notes and textbooks
Accountants extracting financial data
Healthcare teams handling medical documentation
Legal professionals managing case files
Individuals converting images to editable text
If you handle documents, OCR eventually finds you.
Why AI-Based OCR Is the Future
Traditional OCR relied heavily on rigid pattern matching. AI-based OCR, on the other hand, learns and improves over a period of time since it can be automated.
AI OCR engines:
Adapt to different fonts and languages
Handle rotated or blurred images
Images of poor quality is handled in layers, where the smallest information is captured and converted to text.
Understand document structure (tables, headings, paragraphs, and patterns)
Improve accuracy over time
This is why AI-powered OCR tools consistently outperform older systems.

JANUARY 4, 2020 — AVENGERS COMPOUND — RÉA
After gorging ourselves on food from Oscar’s—chicken piccata for Nat, chicken Marsala for Wanda, and penne arrabbiata for me—while we watch Miss Congeniality, we all change into our pyjamas then file into my en-suite where we paint on peel-off face masks before returning to my living room.
“So what are we watching next?” Nat asks.
“How about Friends?” Wanda suggests.
“Oooo yes. Are you okay with watching season eight? I’ve been doing a rewatch and am up to ‘The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath’.”
“Yep!” Wanda chirps. “I’ve seen them all a couple of times so that’s fine.”
“Réa?”
I shrug. “I’ve still never seen any episodes, so I don’t really care where we start. I’ve heard the two of you talk about it enough that I think I’ll be able to follow along.”
“Okay then!”
Nat turns on the sitcom and the three of us watch that episode while we paint our nails. We watch the next couple while our polish dries; there’s a scene in the third episode we watch that gives me an idea.
“Phoebe, come here. I want to show you something in
the bathroom.”
“Oh, Monica, grow up!”
“Hey, what do you have behind your back?” Ross asks.
“Nothing. Just…just something I want to get Phoebe’s
opinion on for Valentine’s Day.”
“You don’t want my opinion?”
“Not really.”
“Oh, come on. I’m your older brother. Ask me.”
“Oh. Oh, okay, big brother. Um, which of these…” Monica
holds up two hangers with lingerie, “…do you think
would make your little sister look hotter so your best
friend would want to do her?”
“I…would you two be willing to help me? With a…well, I just had an idea. And it might be dumb or—”
“Stop that. Whatever it is, it’s not dumb. Don’t say that,” Wanda uses her ‘mom tone’ as she cuts me off.
I nod. “Okay. Well…that,” I gesture to the TV, “just gave me an idea. For a Valentine’s Day present for Bucky.” My cheeks heat. “I, um…well, I know boudoir shoots are a thing. And I’d like to do one. I’ll need an outfit though. I mean, I already have something to wear for Valentine’s Day, it’s just that it maybe wouldn’t be the best thing to be photographed in—”
“The bow?” Nat interjects. “Honestly, that would be hot as fuck.”
“Bow?” Wanda tilts her head.
“Yeah. It’s called a body bow. Réa got…well, you tell her,” Nat nods at me.
“I got three: red, white, and black. White for Christmas, red for Valentine’s Day, black for his birthday.” I pause. “Bucky, um…he liked the white one.” My cheeks heat more as the memory of him telling me exactly how much he liked it briefly flashes in my mind. “Are you sure it wouldn’t be too…” I tilt my head from side-to-side as I try to figure out what adjective to use, trailing off when I can’t settle on a word.
“Too much? Or, I guess, little?” Nat asks. “Definitely not. Like I said, it’d be hot as fuck.”
“Holy shit!” Wanda—who’s now holding her phone—suddenly blurts. “I Googled ‘body bow’ and wow…I see why Bucky liked it!” She looks at me. “You should definitely take pictures in it. But I think you should tie it like this,” she hands me her phone.
The picture she’s looking at is from a how-to guide showing different ways to tie the bow; the image on the screen is similar to how I tied it on Christmas Eve…except the band covers the model’s chest and the bow is tied significantly lower.
“Oh yeah, that would be amazing! Bucky would be speechless,” Nat says as she leans over my shoulder to look.
I giggle, even as my blush deepens.
“So you’ll help me? I could book one of those boudoir photographers but this is already way outside of my comfort zone and I—”
“Of course we’ll help!” Wanda exclaims. “Also…and this is just my opinion…I think that you should give him the photos on his birthday instead of Valentine’s Day. I mean, he’s not going to expect something like this at all, but I feel like this type of thing is more…the norm on a romantic holiday than it is on a birthday. Again, giving him this at all is going to be a huge surprise…I just think it will be even more surprising on his birthday.”
I nod, understanding the point she’s making.
“I agree,” Nat says. “Plus, that gives you time to get several outfits to wear in addition to the bow. And we can all look up other boudoir shoots to find poses you’d feel comfortable being in, and to figure out which to avoid.”
“That’s a good idea. Would you two help me find other outfits?”
“Yes!” Nat practically leaps up, darting into my room and returning with my iPad. “I know just the website!”
“Actually, I was wondering if, um…could we look up lingerie from the forties?”
“Oooo yes! That’s a great idea!” Wanda says.
A quick search provides links for several websites; Nat opens each of them in separate tabs. The three of us huddle together, pointing out items; Nat opens all of those in different tabs as well, and we go through them, eventually settling on a bra, panty, and suspender belt set in pale peach satin with nude-tone seamed stockings, a blue-green silk nightgown, an ivory peignoir with nude lace, and a white dressing gown. I put in my card info and check out, opting for the express shipping.
“Okay. It’s supposed to be here by Wednesday. Fingers crossed,” I say.
We spend the next couple of hours on Pinterest looking up ‘boudoir photo shoots’ to come up with a plan for poses and lighting, to decide if I want black-and-white or colour prints—or both—and to figure out all sorts of details that I would never have thought of.
“How do you want to compile these? I assume you want to have an album but do you want to D.I.Y. it or send it out for printing?” Nat asks.
“I…uh…” I trail off.
“My honest opinion is that you should send the images off and have them professionally printed in a nice book. And I know that you’re really private, so I’m going to offer to have Susan Fleischman order it and have it shipped to her post office box…which is actually mine. Never hurts to have an alias for…certain pieces of mail,” she smirks. “And once it’s delivered, I’ll pick it up and bring it here. If you want to go that route, I mean.”
“I think that’s the best idea,” Wanda adds. “That way, it will be really professional and tastefully done. Not that it would be distasteful if you did it yourself. I’m pretty sure you know what I meant.”
I nod. “I do. And Nat, I’d appreciate it if Susan Fleischman could handle ordering it. I’ll Venmo you the money.”
“Sounds good.”
With that plan in place, we fall into other topics of conversation, the TV providing background noise. Eventually, Wanda starts yawning; she and Nat set up the air mattresses Nat brought up while I grab sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and pillows from the closet.
“I love that you have so many cosy items. That’s why we always want to have sleepovers here,” Wanda says as she wraps up in a fuzzy blanket.
“Glad you approve,” I lightly laugh.
We settle onto our respective beds, and I have F.R.I.D.A.Y. turn off the lights since the TV is on. We continue watching Friends, and Wanda is asleep within a few minutes; not even the canned sitcom laughter disturbs her.
“Réa?” Nat whispers.
“Yeah?”
“Thanks. For inviting us. Wanda and I have missed you.”
“I’ve missed you both, too. I’m sorry we haven’t been able to hang out much this past month.” I’m quiet for a moment. “I really appreciate you both being there for me. After I came back, and when…when Bucky and I weren’t speaking. And I appreciate you not pressuring me to talk. I mean, Thanksgiving was the first time you did more than hint at that situation, and I want to thank you for giving me that time.”
“Of course. I’m glad Wanda trusted her gut and went back to your room that night.”
“I am, too. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I just…I…Wanda went inside my head because I told her that if I had to say it out loud, it would feel more real, and I didn’t know if I could handle that.”
“It’s okay. Really. You don’t have to tell me everything.”
“But you and Wanda are my best friends, and I should’ve shared with you both at the same ti—”
“Réa. I mean it. It’s okay. And I understand why you didn’t tell me—tell any of us…except Wanda, who was literally in your mind—until after you’d told Bucky. You wanted him to know first. I get that…he’s your partner. Just like there are things that I don’t share with anyone until I’ve told Bruce…same thing.”
I nod, even though I doubt she can see me do so since we’re both lying down.
“Thank you, Nat. I love you a whole lot.”
“I love you a whole lot, too, Réa.”
We fall silent, and I quickly drift off, lulled to sleep by the soft glow and quiet noise of the TV.
