Summary
For reference purposes: my thoughts on Cardassian reproductive xenobiology.
All of this is purely my own headcanon. It gets updated as I think more about things.
If you'd like to use these ideas in your own work, feel free! Please credit me. I'd also love a link~!

NULLverse: The Bot-Construct Disaster Squad by FlipSpring
Fandom: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
22 Jun 2024
Summary
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 as they attempt to figure out what makes it tick as a rogue.
- The Combat SecUnit is A (Problematic) Character.
- Disaster ensuesNote that installment one, Parameters NULL, is some heavily horror/angst (and dark comedy).
Series continues with additional angst, slightly-less-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
Certain flavors of installments are designed to be skippable if u so prefer. Installment 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
"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.

Summary
When ART finally confirmed the PA credentials and cycled the lock, I was waiting in the foyer. I'd disabled my human behavioral code, so I didn't twitch when the whole group of humans all stopped in their tracks to stare at me.
I said, "You have boarded the Perihelion, registered teaching vessel of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Please state your business."
In my feed, ART whispered, You sound like a shuttle attendant.
I sound like a SecUnit.

During a cargo run, ART is subjected to a random security sweep. Murderbot falls back into its old routine of supervising annoying humans.
