Honestly at the end of System Collapse, i honesty expected MB to get possessive and a bit more emotional over ART-drone once it reconnected with ART-prime again and dropped out of the feed, cause like... the whole time, ART-drone has been ART in portable, physical form, something that could be held and touched and could touch back.

Then, when everyone was safe on the shuttle going back to ART-prime; ART-drone, which is still ART... was hurt, and damaged and basically dying. And even though it had some warning when the hand off happened, imagine you're next to your friend and suddenly its just not there anymore, all you have is just an inanimate empty husk beside you

Thinking about the way Murderbot refers to itself and SecUnits in general as murderbots (derogatory) and then ComfortUnits as sexbots (derogatory)

Like yes. It definitely had some issues with ComfortUnits as a concept that it needed to work through but it's also funny to think that maybe it'd just be like that for any given "unit," regardless of function.

CulinaryUnit: Oh if you need a weapon there's knives in the kitchen, if you want to stop by.

Murderbot: (Disdainfully) I don't need to take advice from a chefbot.

Murderbot: (Internally) Yes, I did stop by the kitchen, and I did get the fucking knives. Whatever.

I feel like if they make an All Systems Red movie, the opening scenes need to build up to it.

It should make you think it’s going to be a regular gritty sci-fi movie, with tracking shots of Preservation AUX moving around their harshly lit habitat and doing things in drab crew uniforms as they prep for Volescu and Bharadwaj going out to survey the surface…

And in the background of every shot, so unobtrusive as to be almost unnoticeable in the mass of activity, stands Murderbot. Unmoving. Armored. Faceless. Looming.

As it boards the cargo hold, we zoom in on its opaque helmet.

And then the voiceover tells us that rather than murdering everyone when it hacked its governor module, it decided to consume 35,000 hours of media instead.

Instant cut to The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

#the murderbot diaries #all systems red #murderbot #it is very important to me that #the rise and fall of sanctuary moon #is staged just like an og Star Trek/Doctor Who episode #bright technicolor #handmade set pieces #ham acting #the works #just to drive home the visual contrast

“Haha. ‘Vandalism expresses our corporate loyalty.’ Right. Well, the joke is on you Barish-Estranza employee because not long after you did that, you got killed and/or mind controlled by alien remnant raiders. I know, it’s a logo, but I hate it when humans and augmented humans ruin things for no reason. Maybe because I was a thing before I was a person, and if I’m not careful I could be a thing again.”

Whenever Murderbot mentions something about recording video directly from its eyes I like to imagine that the resulting video also comes with all the weird human vision quirks.

MB crosses its eyes and its humans sitting on the couch watching are like what the fuck SecUnit are you okay. Why does your video look like that

MB is looking at the sky and sending the video to ART. Some eye floater guys float in and ART has no idea what they are because literally nobody at PUOMNT has written a research paper on them yet. (They do exist but they were made in the Rim and then got bought/stolen by augment companies with a bundle of other optical research)

Perfect by musicofthespheres

You’re here early, ART says, sounding a little panicked as I approach its docking bay. 

I pause at the airlock that still hasn’t opened for me. I caught an earlier shuttle. Are you going to let me in? 

...Hold on. 

I sigh and make a show of tapping my fingers impatiently; finally, the airlock hisses open. 

What was that about? I grumble as I heft my things inside.

ART says, First tell me why you decided to get here before your scheduled arrival time. 

I roll my eyes. It knows exactly why, it just wants to hear me say it. (Just because I’m better at expressing myself lately doesn’t mean I want to be all sappy, but since when do I get what I want?) Because I wanted to spend more time with you, you asshole. 

I feel it trip over itself in the feed. Yeah, you weren’t expecting that point-blank confession, were you, you big jerk. I wave my hand at its nearest sensor array. Well? 

I was preparing the atmosphere just the way you like it and I wasn’t done yet. I wanted it to be perfect.

I dip my head to hide my reddening face and grin.
