Yeah okay but Murderbot literally stores ART’s comm in its heart. Like. ART’s comm is stored under its ribs. And ART’s last actions before it got basically fucking killed were to, to hide itself in such a way that only Murderbot could find it. It knew Murderbot would save it. Murderbot, who “does not care” and doesn’t like emotions, had an emotional breakdown and went on a rampage when it thought ART was dead. It trusted ART to clear it of the alien malware. ART kept it company in the decontamination/isolation box. ART threated to bomb an entire planet to save Murderbot. ART would have done it, it was ART’s first plan. This massive AI bot pilot. Hyperintelligent. Everything at its metaphorical fingerprints. Its friend was held hostage and it made itself missiles and threatened to bomb a planet to get it back. Murderbot keeps a lifeline to ART in its heart.

Your honour, they are ride-or-dies. They are best friends. They are soulmates. Murderbot keeps ART in its heart. I’m screaming. (Your picture was not posted)

actually ART’s students having a shrine for it somewhere in the ship is so funny, as a concept. like. they’re not aware that ART is anything but a slightly smarter bot-pilot and so when things like their favorite beverage already being made in the mess, just for them, to suddenly finding the exact kind of education module they need to study, to finding a small secret place that’s perfect for studying happen, most of them ascribe it to glitches and coincidence and luck.

of course some tired, stressed student who’s just gotten a little happiness boost from a nice warm beverage is gonna leave a little trinket in one of the nooks and crannies of the ship, it’s only polite. of course someone who lived through a failed raider attack is gonna do the same. soon enough everyone knows about the good-luck shrine, and whenever something goes right, or you need something to go right, you leave a little gift. doesn’t have to be much – oragami animals and string bracelets and memory clips full of media – but it’s something. no one ever sees any one of these gifts leave the shrine but many of them do go missing, and everyone agrees that the ship (or whatever the source of good luck is) is taking them. if someone sees a string bracelet they made for their ship tied tightly around a railing somewhere in the ship, then, well… that’s just a sign of an accepted gift.

Fic Rec: MURDERBOT

Gurathin POV, Murderbot grapples with pronouns and labels. A charming little work with some lovely character notes, and a fantastic dip into Gurathin, to boot.

My wife got me obsessed with a new series of novellas called the murderbot diaries and I am in deep oh my gosh

Centers around the main character [Murderbot] who is a bio-android security unit who gets hired out to protect silly humans from dying in space. Follows the character growth of Murderbot and raises BIG QUESTIONS on what constitutes ‘being a person’. Murderbot is genderless which is also interesting to read from a first-person perspective. 

These books are amazing, I’d recommend grabbing all 4 in the series and reading them over a few days. They average at about 150 pages each, and feel like episodes to read. 

First one is called All Systems Red by Martha Wells.
