Summary
"I had another memory glitch, didn't I."
...Yes.
ART was reluctant. It got even more reluctant when I asked it to show me the false memory. Given the subject matter of the scene that initiated your shutdown, I am concerned that showing you would only cause it to re-occur. Eventually I persuaded it to tell me instead of showing me. Apparently it had been a corrupted version of the same clip, but instead of the show characters I had [REDACTED]
Yeah. Yeah, I know. Just give me a fucking minute.

Crew entertainment (MIs only) by cucumber_of_doom

Summary
I checked ART’s official map and yep, there was a new marker for ‘crew entertainment hole’. That wasn’t ominous at all.
I send it a shot of the map with the marker highlighted.
Three gives some attention to SecUnit's hand and energy weapon, ART is smug and nobody makes any eye contact.

Summary
"I don't like summaries because I already wrote the thing, writing it again with all the good sentences left out seems personally insulting somehow, but I'll do my best."
Murderbot is having fun writing a fantasy space serial. But some of its fans bother it. Dr. Mensah looks at the problem from a different angle.

"The Gang Attempts To Teach Murderbot Literally Anything About The Universe" by SamIAm
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
22 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
ART was staring at me mutually. That's not the word I meant—it was the one that it shouldn't have been able to do because it was already its own captain. Anyway, ART was staring at me like it wanted to stage a hostile take over, depose all my c-level executives, and replace them with its own.

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
When Murderbot gets (almost) fatally injured during a routine mission it has to deal with the emotional fallout from itself, all of its humans, one paranoid machine intelligence with enough power to make sure it never goes anywhere again, and the damage it does to one interpersonal relationship. Ugh, so many emotions.

The thing about humans is that they can pack bond with anything. Various fauna, humanoid bots, even a toaster. It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking depressing.

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.
