Rapport — Martha Wells

By 5t4n5

Rapport -- Martha WellsThis is a Perihelion story, not a Murderbot story.   You may remember that Perihelion is ART’s real designation and most humans call him Peri.

I thought it was quite nice to have a get to know a little more about ART/Peri when Murderbot isn’t around.

A fun little short story, and really looking forward to more books in this most awesome series.
