Hanging Out is a Joint Operation by musicofthespheres
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
30 Jul 2025

Summary
First Three is late getting back to Preservation, then its social calendar seems to be full all the time.
Murderbot's disappointed, but it's not like it can just ask Three to spend time with it. Besides, if Three wanted to hang out, it would say so. Right?
---
Or: 5 times Murderbot won't admit it likes spending time with Three, and 1 time it finally gets over itself and does.

I was hunted for sport at GlobeCon and all I got was this lousy T-shirt by FlipSpring for pavlovs_axolotl

Summary
Murderbot is on a critical mission: investigate and infiltrate the media conglomerate WarFlix, the organizer for the annual GlobeCon Event.
The fact that the head show-runner for The Rise And Fall Of Sanctuary Moon is a guest of honor at this year’s GlobeCon is a total coincidence.

When Professionals Run Into Problems With FREE WILL, MENTAL HEALTH, And DODGE BALL, This Is What They Do by FlipSpring for Sorrosh

Summary
“I’m due to perform another cargo run once we complete the handoff to Holism,” ART said. “It will be my usual route, including a stop at RaviHyral.”
I stared up at the ceiling, and the letter from the ComfortUnit. Having free will is a pain in the ass sometimes.
Three messaged me over the feed. “The ComfortUnit needs help.”
My human-imitation code cued me to blink. Three’s drone was creeping closer to my face. Three hadn’t initiated many conversations yet, so this was notable.
I responded to its channel, “Yeah, but I don’t know if I’m the right one to help.”
3.03 seconds passed. Then Three said, “I can help. I’ll go.”

Bookmarker's Notes
If you ever DID get the brainworm and decide to flesh this out, I would be thrilled to read it. I like your portrayal of Three.

Summary
Murderbot 1.0 squeezes my arm firmly and repeats its antiquated stand down code, along with a verbal order: "I said let go, Three."
Its voice snaps like an electrical current, but the sensation that floods my organic components isn't punishment.

Murderbot 2.0 gives in to its initial instinct to lie to SecUnit 3. The story is nudged ever so slightly off-track.

Summary
You are accustomed to a certain sense of helplessness. It is inevitable, as your designated role is to watch over those you hold within yourself. You can protect your crew from the vast, unforgiving vacuum of the universe outside of your hull, but you cannot protect them from danger that comes from within. You cannot save your SecUnit from itself.

Summary
The signal was so close now, it was practically screaming in my feed. I took two steps, and it suddenly cut short.
You were lucky.
It had switched from code to words in an instant, muted through the weak relay but nevertheless carrying a certain sense of weight. It was hard to tell, but I thought it might be a bot. I reached back towards the signal, and sent, Why am I lucky?
That you reached this place without being detected.
Detected by what?

A company ship crash-lands on 4546b. The only survivor is a SecUnit.

Summary
I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized that the company supply drops were coming less and less often. It had been well over 35,000 hours since then, with still not much murdering, unless you consider leaving a colony of ten thousand helpless humans to starve to be murder.
-
If there had been a SecUnit in the colony, there probably would have been a compelling reason why it had to stay behind on the dying planet.

SecUnit Three has been free for a very short time and is not doing well. As it tries to navigate the first personal request of its life, it makes lists. The request is more emotionally catastrophic than it realized, and there is probably a very, very good reason why Murderbot initially said no…

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
So soft and fleshy and sweet these creatures were. So different from the hard, chitinous creatures of the last world. So much easier to break, infect, consume . How had something like them ever lasted this long to begin with? Ah, but what a blessing that they had. And for them to have such a developed sense of taste, and of pleasure. Not in all his years had he come across creatures with such an exquisitely rich ability to experience and to enjoy. In them, he’d discovered the marvelous ability to relish and to savor. And he did so intend to relish and savor.
Every last one of them.
Eddie is part of a scientific expedition in Antarctica that discovers something deep under the ice. A John Carpenter's "The Thing" AU.
