Summary
All the secunits did it. They walked their strict, stoic patrols in perfect harmony, only ever interrupted by a quick uncomfortable clearing of their throats. Their helmets muffled the little noise into a sharp huff. None of my co-workers seemed to mind. I began thinking maybe constructs always did it, I just had never heard it over the chaos of my old contract. It was a shame, because, besides the coughing, the only other sound was blissful white noise.

Summary
Even my buffer was silent when they asked me about their inability to contact ART. I grounded the shuttles, sealed the habitat's entry hatches, and stationed myself outside, facing the direction of the destroyed colony. It was two cycles before I let them out, and told them what I knew. It was over seventeen months before the University came for us.

I said, Three, what exactly is going on?
Three didn’t respond for 2 whole seconds, and when it did it sounded embarrassed. Dr. Bharadwaj suggested that an emergency drill might help with our boredom.

NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad by FlipSpring
Fandom The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
18 Dec 2025
Summary
With Networks VOID/Networks VITAL, NULLverse is narratively Complete. But I keep writing anyway. Cuz it's fun.
Consider this series if you like: feral shit, disaster, continuity of identity+memory, societies of people with divergent needs/wants, chaos, robot creation ethics, violence vs security, suffering, healing, bad puns.
Canon Divergence AU:
- At the end of Exit Strategy, the Combat SecUnit succeeds at capturing Murderbot
- Murderbot is subjected to Palisade's construct research lab
- The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character
- Disaster ensuesSeries has its ups and downs regarding angst, dark comedy, and trauma recovery themes. Plus some whack worldbuilding speculation. We like to multi track drift here. It’s crack it’s angst it’s fluff? We have the RangeTM
Some installments are skippable if u so prefer. Reading order is suggested but not strictly necessary if u are a flexible type. Mix and match if you want. Go crazy. I know I am.
Hope you have fun!

Summary
"I have worked assignments solo before, and I have gotten used to the absences of SecUnit 01 and SecUnit 02. But I have not reconciled myself to the absence of Murderbot 2.0, though I know it is not logical. 2.0 made its choices, and fulfilled its purpose perfectly, and it seemed satisfied with that. I wish that I had any amount of such certainty and resolve."
The continuing adventures of SecUnit03. How does a newly freed SecUnit make sense of everything without having consumed 35,000 hours of media for context?

Parameters NULL: Our Fractured State by FlipSpring
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
13 Mar 2021

Summary
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.Series

Summary
"ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.
