Summary
Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
We aren’t most people.
(Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.) -

Evolving intimacy between Murderbot and ART in Network Effect (Meta: long version) by ImitationGame
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
11 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
This is a sort of meta on how the relationship between Murderbot and ART has evolved in Network Effect.
Since things need to be put into context, there are lots of spoilers.Probably should edit it to make it more concise. But I probably need time away so that I can have a fresh approach...

Summary
Following the events of Network Effect, Three is insisted upon that leaving on a station within the OutSystems would be best. Three does not agree with Murderbot 1.0's logic for this decision but what is a newly Rogue SecUnit to do when given a direct order? Traversing a limited feed station, full of humans, when you are not nearly as familiar with hacking systems as Murderbot 1.0 is enough to make a Unit sweat. When everything seems to be too wrong, too new, too strange for Three, an emergency distress ping hits its feed. It answers immediately.
Is it too late to realise what it has agreed to? Is it too late for Murderbot to realise its mistake? What will ART think of its little idiot when everything gets relayed back?
