So, Im Awkward With Actual Humans. Its Not Paranoia About My Hacked Governor Module, And Its Not Them;

ID: a fancomic of the scene in All Systems Red where Mensah comes to see Murderbot in its cubicle. The whole comic is coloured in blue-green tones. Murderbot has very short black hair, olive skin, and a grey blanket wrapped around its shoulders. Mensah has very short light brown hair, dark brown skin, and is wearing a grey PresAux tracksuit and a silver feed interface. Panel 1: a close up of Murderbot’s eyes, looking at its media collection and running background analysis on glowing blue feed screens. Panel 2: sound effect text in the top left corner says, ‘KNOCK.’ Murderbot looks up, startled, as the feed screens fizzle away. Panel 3: a side view of Murderbot looking warily at the cubicle door; the speech bubble says, ‘…’ Panel 4: the same view; Murderbot says, ‘Uh, yes?’ Panel 5: Mensah peers in through the open cubicle door and asks, ‘Are you all right? I saw your status report.’ End ID.
ID: Panel 6: Murderbot, its head angled back slightly, an awkward expression on its face, says, ‘Uh. Fine.’ The background is dark. Panel 7: a low angle, back view of Mensah standing in front of the cubicle, saying, ‘Fine? The report said you lost 20 percent of your body mass.’ In the foreground are shelves and a pile of bloody armour. Panel 8: Murderbot, looking to the side with its brow furrowed, replies, ‘It’ll grow back.’ Panel 9: a side view of Mensah; her expression is concerned as says, ‘I know, but still.’ End ID.
ID: Panel 10: a high angle view of Mensah looking at Murderbot in its cubicle, which is drawn as white wireframe. Murderbot looks uncomfortable; the speech bubble says, ‘…’ Panel 11: the top half of Murderbot’s face, looking anxious as it pulls up a feed screen showing a view of Gurathin, Arada, Pin-Lee and Ratthi sitting at a table in the mess, looking at feed screens. The speech bubble, its tail looking frayed, says, ‘…’ Panel 12: Mensah, drawn as if from Murderbot’s point of view in the gap of the open cubicle door, smiles and says, ‘You were very good with Dr. Volescu. I don’t think the others realized… They were very impressed.’ To her right is the feed screen showing the mess, now showing Ratthi and Pin-Lee facing a single feed screen as Gurathin says something in the background. End ID.
ID: Panel 13: Pin-Lee turns to Ratthi; the speech bubble says, ‘That really is the SecUnit…’ Panel 14: Murderbot clutches the blanket closer around itself; the view cuts off the top half of its face. It says, ‘It’s part of the emergency med instructions, calming victims.’ Panel 15: a close-up side view of Mensah, her eyebrows raised, as she says, ‘Yes, but the MedSystem was prioritizing Bharadwaj and didn't check Volescu's vital signs. It didn't take into account the shock of the event, and it expected him to be able to leave the scene on his own.’ Panel 16: a close-up back view of Ratthi; the speech bubble says, ‘I didn’t even know it had a face.’ Panel 17: Murderbot, in the dark cubicle with the blanket clenched in its hands, expression even more anxious, says, ‘It’s part of my job, not to listen to the System feeds when they… make mistakes.’ End ID.
ID: Panel 18: Mensah looking in at Murderbot from outside the cubicle. Her expression is pensive; the speech bubble says, ‘…’ Panel 19: A high angle top view of the security ready room. Mensah turns away, closing the cubicle door, and says, ‘All right. I’ll see you in eight hours. If you need anything before then, please send me an alert on the feed.’ In front of her is the pile of bloodstained armour and a trail of fluid leading to the cubicle. Panel 20: a high angle view of the bottom half of Murderbot’s face, a sliver of light across it as the cubicle door closes. End ID.

So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me. I know I’m a horrifying murderbot, and they know it, and it makes both of us nervous, which makes me even more nervous. Also, if I’m not in the armor then it’s because I’m wounded and one of my organic parts may fall off and plop on the floor at any moment and no one wants to see that.

one last fancomic to finish off the year, from asr this time!!

ID: a black and white fancomic of the scene in ART’s bathroom from Network Effect. Panel 1: Amena leans forward in the foreground with a curious expression and asks, “Why do you call it ART? It said its name was Perihelion.” She has dark skin, curly chin-length black hair, and is wearing a button up open over a t-shirt. In the background, Ratthi leans against a wall; he has dark skin, short wavy black hair, and is wearing a polo shirt. A shower screen can be seen behind him. Panel 2: Murderbot, leaning its head back against a wall, answers, “It’s an anagram. It stands for Asshole Research Transport.” It has short black hair and mid-tone skin, and is wearing a light-coloured shirt. Panel 3: A front-on view of Amena and Murderbot both sitting on the bathroom vanity, with the sink between them and a large mirror behind them. Amena has her legs crossed and her hands on the benchtop beside her, and says, “That’s not an anagram.” Murderbot is sitting in the corner against the wall, with its boots up on the benchtop as it hugs its jacket to its chest. “Whatever,” it replies. End ID.
ID: Panel 4: Ratthi has a hand to his chin and a thoughtful expression as he says, “Regardless, I think that while you and Perihelion know how to have relationships with humans, neither of you is quite sure how to have a relationship with each other. Panel 5: Murderbot, looking disgusted, asks, “Do you have to call it a relationship?” Panel 6: Ratthi shrugs one shoulder, looking towards Murderbot, and says, “You don’t like the word ‘friendship.’ What else is there?” Panel 7: A close-up of Murderbot’s eyes; it has mechanical irises and is looking up slightly. The text next to it says ‘archive > search > “relationship”,’ followed by an abstract array of rectangles to indicate the search process. It says aloud, “Mutual administrative assistance?” Panel 8: A low angle view from Murderbot’s perspective showing two ceiling lights, the shower screen, and the top half of Ratthi’s confused-looking face in the corner. End ID.
ID: Panel 9: A close-up of the same two ceiling lights. Panel 10: A high angle view of Murderbot and Amena sitting on the bathroom vanity. Murderbot clutches its jacket closer and yells, its expression angry, “I know what you’re doing, ART, stop trying to communicate with me!” Amena is looking up, confused. Panel 11: Ratthi, sighing.

I said, “The Transport doesn’t know what the hell it’s talking about, plus it lies a lot, and it’s mean.” A minute, undetectable in the range of human eyesight, fluctuation in the lights told me ART had heard that.

Who benefits from the goat being unburnt? Are we missing part of the fun here? On the ground in Gavle is there a crowd of hometown heroes thwarting arsonist assassins left and right?

Catch me fighting the Gavle volunteer army surrounding the goat on my way to commit arson.
