Okay, the thing I didn't tell anybody about my right leg getting eaten in the altered memory sequence: I'm 73 percent certain that never happened to me, but there's an 89 percent chance I did see that happen to a human at some point. (from System Collapse)

Summary
Mensah was quiet for 2.7 seconds, then asked “How are you feeling after that meeting today?”
“Oh, just great! I can’t wait to be a Preservation pet robot!”
I was still looking at her through one of my drones and saw her wince minutely. That micro-expression would have slipped past most humans, but to me, it looked like a distress beacon.
Shit, that came out a little harsher than I meant it to. None of this was Mensah’s fault, but I was tired of monitoring my responses, and I still hadn’t gotten around to setting that one-second response delay. I wasn’t having a very good day, okay?
--
Preservation isn't as welcoming to Murderbot as its humans imagined it would be. Murderbot is not surprised. Mensah, Pin-Lee and Murderbot have emotions about it.

Still on Inventory (standalone fics) by DoomNightAt12, Kitsunebaba, molecular_machine
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
06 Dec 2025
Summary
A series of unrelated fics in which a SecUnit (usually Murderbot) is on company inventory and dealing with its governor module, or hiding its hack of its governor module.
The fics are arranged semi-chronologically relative to Murderbot's timeline, but they can be read independently and in any order. All are a balance of angst with hope, except for everything, this, me especially which is more of a mix of fluff, angst and humor. And then there's to hide oneself in a corner as a way to seek refuge from reality, which is just a silly drabble featuring Lexicon.
Stories by molecular_machine, with art and podfic by DoomNightAt12 and Kitsunebaba in The Junkyard Society of Discarded Robots.

Summary
SecUnit 3 just wants to save its people from slavery (it's a slow, painful work in progress). But when its ship winds up in the neighboring galaxy, suddenly its new immediate priority is saving the small human who calls herself Shmi Skywalker.
(Falling in love with the two humans intent on helping SecUnit 3 find its family? Well, no one tell Murderbot, it might just try to puke its brains out.)

closing distance (NT-6478513) by torpidgilliver
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
25 Aug 2021

Summary
This wasn't how I'd planned things. Somehow, I'd always pictured something more orderly. Something less deadly. Obviously my escape couldn't be bloodless, not if I were to stand any chance of getting away clean, but I had thought that the casualties might stay in the single digits. One or two dead humans to screen me, and then one more when I got what I wanted.
That "when" was starting to look more like an "if."

The following is a collection of reports drafted by NovaTero SecUnit 6478513, following the incident which resulted in the destruction of Freighter 6.

The method employed in their acquisition, and the contents therein, are strictly confidential.

Summary
It was a stupid accident. We’d identified the presence of space debris in this sector, including pieces large enough to deflect the course of a small transport; but my Risk Assessment Module was happily burbling in the low teens (it really needs replacing, but I’m quite fond of its optimism now) and ART had calculated the risk of an actual collision as approximately 1 in 159,753. But of course we were that one.
And of course the client I was with would be that one.

Summary
They’re more competent than you think.
Across from me, one student had fallen from his chair and was now lying face-down on the ground.
Yeah. Competent.
--
Murderbot acts as security for some university students onboard and starts a bet with ART. Both go horribly.

Summary
She wants to be proven right, about life. And just like every other miserable human, she wants company in her misery: someone who also believes that violence is the best solution, who lies with a smile and shoots you in the back, who wants to make the world hurt as much as she hurts.
You’d think a rogue SecUnit would agree with her. But you’d be wrong. I didn’t crack my governor for this shit. I’m going to live, I’m going to escape, and I may as well drag her out with me.
