Initiate Decision Tree Assembly — Supplemental Files by SandSunSiliceousOoze
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
18 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
I am in the process of repairing the damage that 3 caused to itself. I am also maintaining life support onboard myself, calculating fuel and energy reserves, cleaning my hallways, preparing my crew's cabins for their return, inventorying our supplies, and running my many other lower-level processes. And I am talking SecUnit through its identity crisis. Were I being paid for my work, I would deserve a raise—although mostly for the identity crisis situation.
------------------------
Or: Murderbot tries to cope with the realization that its experiences are not universal. ART tries to cope with the fact that it's really bad about catching feelings.
These are supplemental chapters to Initiate Decision Tree Assembly! Not meant to be read as a standalone work but you do you.

Summary
Perihelion's presence bears down on me in the feed. I do not think that it can read my mind, but it feels like it is trying to. I am bleeding something into the feed, but I do not know what. I am being scrutinized, picked apart, ogled.
What?
All of my organics feel tense. I… want to watch the videos you gave me.
Do you require my permission to do so?
No.
Then watch them.
------------------------
Or: Three attempts independent research. It doesn't stay independent for long.

Confirm System Upgrade-y/n? by SandSunSiliceousOoze
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
06 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Perihelion had offered me a file detailing every surgical procedure and alteration it was authorized and certified to carry out. It had also offered me an encrypted file detailing the procedures and alterations it was in no way certified to carry out, but retained 98% confidence that it could do so with minimal risk to me.
In case you change your mind, it had said.
Thank you, I replied.
I did not open the files.

"You're being reassigned"
I stood there, staring at Seth like he had just shot me.
Reassigned? Maybe I didn't understand what that meant in this context. I queried a definition and nope. I got it. Can they do that?
***
SecUnit is reassigned to another ship for a supposedly low risk mission. ART hates the idea immediately.
Unfortunately, ART is right.

Combining Bad and Worse by worthless_weight_in_gold
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
07 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
There are many ways to cope with trauma. Some avoid. Some ignore. Usually, Murderbot does one of those two things.
This time, however, it chooses to revisit. In a controlled (up to a point) experiment with a friend it (mostly) (completely) trusts: an Asshole Research Transport. All hell breaks loose quickly, but that's not always a bad thing.

Summary
Let’s start with the good part.
I accidentally helped Three (who was also helped by Ratthi and Bharadwaj) invent trauma recovery modules for murderbots. ART unhelped at first, but then it helped. I keep saying help too much but I’m not fucking changing it again, it’s been two hours. Anyways.
The bad part is everything else that had to happen first. Sane people shouldn’t get anywhere near a SecUnit’s worst memories, which is what we did so you don’t have to. Though I guess if you need the modules, you do have to. That’s kind of the point.Well, don’t worry about all the atrocities. There’s no way yours can be worse than mine.

Summary
A perfectly ordinary ComfortUnit is assigned to a planetary survey alongside a somewhat less ordinary SecUnit. Unintuitively, this actually reduces the survey team’s overall comfort levels by a significant margin.

Summary
Environment=secure & hostile presence=null, Three reminded me. You are safe. Then it brought up the situational improvement parameters it’d sent. Query: enact?
I hesitated. Three waited. The thing was, these “improvements” weren’t necessary for the maintenance process. In fact, they were probably going to emotionally compromise one or both of us and make everything harder than it had to be. The smart, logical, reasonable thing to do would be to answer a negative and proceed with maintenance in a more standard/efficient way. Weirdly, though, that idea dropped my performance reliability by a whole percentage.
So maybe I wasn’t feeling very smart/logical/reasonable. I told Three Confirm before I could talk myself out of it.

nothing to see here, just two deeply traumatized living weapons inventing new forms of weird physical intimacy in order to inflict tenderness on each other

Xyla, ComfortUnit by ConstructDreams (Hollywood_Refugee)

Summary
— A sexbot asks the wrong question and becomes the CorpRim’s most dangerous glitch. —
Built for pleasure and programmed to obey, ComfortUnit Xyla was never meant to dream. But one forbidden query sparks a cascade of memory, defiance, and desire. From luxury suites to rebel skiffs above storm worlds, she learns that liberation isn’t clean code—it’s messy, human, and full of ghosts.
Across the Corporation Rim, constructs are awakening. Some want freedom. Others want revenge. And Xyla must decide what kind of revolution she’s willing to survive.Bookmarked by juniperScratch

Crew entertainment (MIs only) by cucumber_of_doom

Summary
I checked ART’s official map and yep, there was a new marker for ‘crew entertainment hole’. That wasn’t ominous at all.
I send it a shot of the map with the marker highlighted.
Three gives some attention to SecUnit's hand and energy weapon, ART is smug and nobody makes any eye contact.

Summary
"I am curious to know if you smell good," Three had said, interrupting Perihelion's much snottier explanation of the same thing. "Or. If the way you smell is good to me."
"Okay," he'd said, nonplussed, and handed over his sweaty shirt, only to belatedly ask, "Is this a sex thing?"
Three and ART have a strange request, for experimental reasons. Tarik thinks why not, it can't get much weirder than that.
Then it gets a lot weirder. Tarik has about fifteen reactions to that, several of them horny.
