by CompletelyDifferent

Murderbot Goes To Kaer Morhen

by allonym

There’s definitely something wrong with my threat assessment module, because I know this is a stupid decision but I’m making it anyway. “Okay, no way around it. I’m going to have to go talk to this White Wolf person. I don’t suppose you have a map to where he lives?” I’m not letting a Rim corporation take over this fucking mudpit without at least trying to stop it.

Parameters NULL: Our Fractured State

by FlipSpring

Your face is not SecUnit standard. There have been alterations made to your skin and hair. There is a rapid-cycling fluidity to your expressions that is like a human’s, but not. Your feed is still a strange and curious torrent of nonsense. You use security-protocol-language and human words in tandem. You are like a human begging for mercy, and like a bot requesting resources and strategic backup. ~ Premise: Exit Strategy bad ending, where Murderbot gets captured by Palisade and they decide to run tests on it to figure out what makes it tick.

I Am Not Yet Born

by quintessence_of_dust

The whole thing took 3.7 minutes. It was impersonal, efficient, and streamlined, just the way the corporates liked it. Oh, and the new construct was screaming the whole time. Bharadwaj is sent a packet of video files from the Corporation Rim as part of her research for her documentary. When viewing one clip in particular, SecUnit's human friends learn something new about the lives of constructs.
