    Bookmarker's Notes

    In which a Corporation Rim immigrant has more trouble adjusting to Preservation than the nonverbal little brother he rescued from their Tik-Tok mom, and mistakes Amena's Third Mom for a "serial unaliver." Lyric's stuff is always good of course, but it isn't always this hilarious.

    Summary

    Dr. Gurathin takes an old-fashioned approach to discouraging Murderbot's ongoing attempts to surveil his private residence on Preservation Station. Murderbot handles the situation with grace and dignity:

    During previous incidents, Dr. Gurathin had messaged me over the feed with his objections, asking that I retrieve the identified drone and not use it to re-infiltrate his personal living space. Luckily, Mensah had bought me two cases of drones, so I was able to use a different one for each new infiltration, adhering to his request.

    This time, he had unexpectedly dropped a container of hot liquid over the drone. It was still functional (a drone that couldn’t handle water would be useless for planetside deployments) but the audio was muted and its visual inputs were restricted to the interior of a First Landing University mug. I could probably push the mug off the furniture surface using the drone’s propulsion system, but I was getting a 99.2% risk assessment that this action would cause mug to break. That had an 84.6% chance of turning this incident from a minor annoyance into a Big Fucking Deal involving meetings and consensus and talking about this, ugh.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The one in which Murderbot picks Gurathin's lock with its feet. Or tries to! Hilarious but also contains a way to address the privacy vs security problem.

    Summary

    Bharadwaj’s documentary has spread stealthily throughout the Corporate Ring. A fanbase has arisen, and some fans have been writing to the subjects. As is so often the way with fans, a small percentage of them have some very odd ideas. Unfortunately, given the size of the Corporate Rim, that’s a small percentage of a huge number of people individuals.

    This is the fic to give antis who think they know what's in the Murderathin tag and decide to be assholes about it online.

    Summary

    Termitis849 Commented;

    Okay, I can’t tell if this is two equally neurotic Lacey stans, or one guy roleplaying his dissertation defense in a half-dead Medcenter Argala forum.
    edit; did NOT realize the MCA fandom was still active, my bad.
    edit edit; I GET IT. THE SHOW IS POPULAR. PLEASE STOP COMMENTING ON MY POSTS.

     

    Or; Murderbot and ART have a minor disagreement over some media.

    Read this to assist during the last pass through a MS, to reduce the number of winces when re-reading six months later.
