When Professionals Run Into Problems With FREE WILL, MENTAL HEALTH, And DODGE BALL, This Is What They Do by FlipSpring for Sorrosh

Summary
“I’m due to perform another cargo run once we complete the handoff to Holism,” ART said. “It will be my usual route, including a stop at RaviHyral.”
I stared up at the ceiling, and the letter from the ComfortUnit. Having free will is a pain in the ass sometimes.
Three messaged me over the feed. “The ComfortUnit needs help.”
My human-imitation code cued me to blink. Three’s drone was creeping closer to my face. Three hadn’t initiated many conversations yet, so this was notable.
I responded to its channel, “Yeah, but I don’t know if I’m the right one to help.”
3.03 seconds passed. Then Three said, “I can help. I’ll go.”

I was hunted for sport at GlobeCon and all I got was this lousy T-shirt by FlipSpring for pavlovs_axolotl

Summary
Murderbot is on a critical mission: investigate and infiltrate the media conglomerate WarFlix, the organizer for the annual GlobeCon Event.
The fact that the head show-runner for The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon is a guest of honor at this year’s GlobeCon is a total coincidence.

Summary
ART said, “This is only a hypothesis, based on the pattern of metabolic activation in your organic parts.” It showed me a bunch of charts and stuff that I didn’t understand, with stuff like estimated caloric burn, hormone profiles, and a bunch of chemicals and medical words I didn’t know. “I’ve seen similar physiological activation in some of my students shortly before they chrysalized. Your body may be in the beginning stages metamorphosis.”
This was so gob smackingly absurd that I was speechless for an entire 10 seconds.
I said, “My body already reached its imago form.”
ART said, “Yes.”
I said, “Nobody pods after their adult imago form.”

NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad by FlipSpring
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
18 Dec 2025
Summary
With Networks VOID/Networks VITAL, NULLverse is narratively Complete. But I keep writing anyway. Cuz it's fun.
Consider this series if you like: feral shit, disaster, continuity of identity+memory, societies of people with divergent needs/wants, chaos, robot creation ethics, violence vs security, suffering, healing, bad puns.
Canon Divergence AU:
- At the end of Exit Strategy, the Combat SecUnit succeeds at capturing Murderbot
- Murderbot is subjected to Palisade's construct research lab
- The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character
- Disaster ensuesSeries has its ups and downs regarding angst, dark comedy, and trauma recovery themes. Plus some whack worldbuilding speculation. We like to multi track drift here. It’s crack it’s angst it’s fluff? We have the RangeTM
Some installments are skippable if u so prefer. Reading order is suggested but not strictly necessary if u are a flexible type. Mix and match if you want. Go crazy. I know I am.
Hope you have fun!

Summary
My family is visiting, Dr. Mensah sent. You’re welcome to stop by my quarters this evening, if you wish.
Mensah stilled. In the feed, I asked, Can I take over?
I kissed over her skin the way her marital partners liked to. The way she liked, even when it was me.
Farai, Tano, and I all saw it, and we felt everything.

SecUnits don't train, usually.
Murderbot and Three have agreed to at least give it a try.
Whatever ends up happening, at least it won't be boring!

Summary
So, you're probably wondering what a SecUnit is doing on an otherwise uncrewed boat. The answer is this activity called fishing, where I remove numerous oceanic fauna from the surrounding liquids while 99.5% of my attention is on the shows I'm watching.
