Supplemental Materials for Who Guards the Guardian? by Gamebird
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
28 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
This "story" consists of supporting materials for Who Guards the Guardian?, including chapters breaking down the fight scene, names and languages, and one with a timeline of the story as a whole. They are being posted as relevant chapters in Who Guards the Guardian? go up.
This first chapter isn't Murderbot's official after-action report referred to in chapter 5, but is instead my author's version of what went down so I could keep it straight as it was referenced across the various chapters.

Summary
What if GrayCris had visited PresAux first instead of DeltFall?
At this point, Bharadwaj and Volescu have encountered the worm, the group discovered and visited the missing map sections, and an attempted download was made to control SecUnit. However, that's it. Murderbot is still masquerading as governed. PresAux never lost contact with DeltFall because GrayCris visited PresAux first.
No relation to my other TMBD works.

Unknown System, or, New Peoples by alatarmaia4

Summary
I saw a post on tumblr suggesting a crossover where Murderbot meets Sam Vimes, and I couldn't not write it. Behold:
Murderbot, randomly pulled into the metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, must figure out how it got here, how to get home, and what the fuck is going on in general. Meanwhile, Sam Vimes of the city guard is hot on the trail of a suspicious-looking case at Unseen University—or at least he would be if he didn't have the baby at home to worry about...
I love TMB and Discworld so much, so I tried to make this as newbie-friendly as possible. If you're coming for the Discworld, the Murderbot stuff is supposed to be as understandable as possible, and if you don't know Discworld at all but love Murderbot, hopefully it still makes sense.
This is set after Exit Strategy but vaguely before Fugitive Telemetry; on the Discworld side, it's somewhere in between Night Watch and Going Postal.

Summary
Ed and Stede are best friends and not-so-secretly in love with each other. The only problem: They live on opposite ends of the same island and their busy lives have kept them from ever meeting in person.
But when an old ‘friend’ comes back into Ed’s life and tires to sabotage their relationship, it sends Stede on a frantic ten hour commute up to Blind Cove—and Ed on a desperate chase to meet him before it’s too late.

Summary
According to my calculations, retaining permanent onboard security would be significantly cheaper than continuing our current policy of vetting and hiring consultants on an as-needed basis.
"Peri, if you're suggesting that I hire your friend—"
-
It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. But since Perihelion's transgression was to offer its friend a job without the prior approval of its captain, it has to ask for both.

Summary
“I didn’t want to be on the platform anymore,” SecUnit said. Its voice was soft, but there was an undertone of frustration. Ratthi frowned. He could sympathize with not wanting to be stuck in one spot, and SecUnit seemed more prone to fidgeting now that it didn’t have to hide. “But I kind of forgot how to walk.”
Wait.
“What?”
----
Missing scene from Chapter 8 of Exit Strategy; Murderbot may have glossed over forgetting how to walk but uncontrolled falls to the ground tend to be loud.

Summary
Ayda Mensah wanted to go on a simple planetary survey mission. Things have not gone according to plan.
First, she aborted the mission months early. Second, she purchased a SecUnit with all of her (as well as her family's) life savings. Third, she’s been sued about six or seven different times. (She might have to ask Pin-Lee to come up with an itemized list.)
Oh, and fourth: She’s already lost SecUnit a day after taking custody of it.

Or: Dr. Mensah's perspective from Chapter 8 of All Systems Red through Exit Strategy.

The humans are looking at me, and they are afraid. I am used to humans looking at me and being afraid. It has never bothered me before. I think it does now.
I do not know what to say, so I do not say anything. I turn and follow 1.0.

Summary
Aziraphale wished he wasn’t quite so thoroughly defenseless. The last guard had simply ignored him, frustrating Aziraphale’s attempts to make conversation, but this stare was far more unsettling.
“So,” the ginger bandit said abruptly, “you’re Aziraphale. The bold knight who rescued our last prisoners.”

Summary
They were free falling through the air. They hit a hard wall, and SecUnit let go of Ayda. She tumbled down and hit the ground hard. SecUnit landed a split second later with a heavy thump.
“SecUnit?” Ayda gritted out.
It didn't respond. Ayda's blood ran cold.
SecUnit wasn’t going to get them out of this. It had to be her. Okay, then Ayda was going to get them both out of this. She was getting everyone off this fucking planet.
