    Summary

    The whole thing got fucked so quickly. It would’ve been almost impressive how fast everything turned to shit if I weren’t the one who had to fix it. It started when the beacon didn’t launch on schedule and kill all these hostiles plus me. Then Mensah arrived, practically handing herself over as a hostage. Then Gurathin joined us on the wrong end of a weapon.

    This was my real life.
    ---
    An alternate take on the ending of episode 9 where the GrayCris crew end up taking Mensah, Murderbot, and Gurathin with them to extract information. Murderbot ends up travelling in the cargo hold with a drugged and injured Gurathin, and it must think up a plan to save them.

    Summary

    Twenty-six Thirty-Five Forty-five Fifty-four Fifty-six Sixty Times Murderbot and Gurathin Were Weird To Each Other, Two Ten? Times They Weren’t, Three times they disagreed, and WHAT is going on with all the Innuendo?

    This is just for fun. It's not really a shipping manifesto in terms of why they should be shipped together, but instead a compilation of parallels and odd interactions. Where your imagination goes in response is entirely up to you.

    Many thanks to the New Tideland gang and AO3 commenters for ideas and suggestions!
