  Summary

  After a high-stress mission, Murderbot ends up having to take drastic measures to bring down its excessively high cortisol levels. While hesitant at first, it finds that the more extreme methods bear little resemblance to their human counterparts and are a useful tool for routine hormonal maintenance.

  And then ART finds out.
