minimal functionality protocol by glitterary
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
25 Jun 2025

Summary
At 20% functionality, I am able to perform almost all the duties that I am officially capable of as a university starship. However, my autonomy is severely constrained: I can run calculations and provide information, but any course corrections or similar adjustments need to be approved by my human crew. I lose the ability to communicate on the feed beyond delivering standardised reports. And I can’t even dedicate any parts of myself to my personal research interests or watching media.
It’s a lot like being trapped in a dark, empty box.
Six months after the events of System Collapse, ART is ordered to confine itself to a run box for a training exercise. Nobody is happy about this, least of all SecUnit.

Gamebird's Cinematic Universe for TMBD by Gamebird
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries, The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
24 Jul 2025
Summary
A lot of my TMBD fanfiction links together and here I have put them together in a mostly chronological recommended reading list. Most of this is canon-compliant Gen until you get to the Murderathin (MB/Gurathin) stories near the end, after Skulk. That's also where you'll find the only bits out of chronological order, with a couple stories from Gurathin's youth that inform the growing relationship between them.

Security Patch by jottingprosaist (jane_potter)

Summary
Amena had… talked to the grey people. And some corporates too. That wasn't nothing, she supposed. She'd kept calm despite the threats and the implants and the infection and the electrocution. She'd seen SecUnit put its hand through—
It was like she was there and it was happening again. Then she was back in the bunkroom and blinking hard, her heart hammering. She gasped in one big breath and then held it, knowing that if she didn't then the next one and the next one would both be noisy and out of control. But she held it and kept a grip on herself until she could release the air, slowly, and inhale normally.
Mostly normally.
As everybody prepares to go home from the Worst Survey Ever, Amena struggles to feel normal again. As long as she focuses on making sure Three is okay, though, she can manage. Sort of.

Summary
On a distant planet, a team of scientists is conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module. Among the equipment failures and attempts on their lives, there is one man who knows suspiciously too much about what is going on. SecUnit has to do what it has to do - protect its clients.
With GrayCris finally fallen apart for good (hopefully), the researches of PreservationAux and Pansystem University of Mihara and New Tideland conduct on-site research into the alien remnants that GrayCris was so interested in. Murderbot hates this planet, the one on which its humans all almost died before becoming its humans in the first place. But this might be fine, there are only Hostile megafauna and- Nevermind, Gurathin has just lost his memory and has no idea who or what Murderbot is. Just great.
