First Time Posting Here, Hi!! I Offer You An OC I Made For Myself In The Murder Drones Universe. *gasp*

First time posting here, hi!! i offer you an OC i made for myself in the Murder Drones universe. *gasp* it's K :]

Funfact: it's wings have a metal frame just like the other md's but i added feathers becouse of my special intrest - birds.

Murderbot in All Systems Red voice: yeah being wounded in front of humans is just awkward, obviously they don't want to see that

Five books later:

bless your heart, you little idiot, half your humans are biologists, OF COURSE they want to see that. biologists love organic things that go plop.

hi im relistening to artificial condition and just realized that at no point do murderbot or ART make proper introductions and it's making me giggle. ART pretends to be a normal bot pilot to lull mb into a false sense of security, waits until murderbot is effectively trapped and unable to escape, and then proceeds to threaten it and scare the shit out of it by way of greeting. and murderbot, understandably, does not then proceed to ask what to call it or anything, it's just like. this guy fucking sucks. i'm gonna call it "fucking sucks".

AND ART PUTS UP NO PROTEST.

like okay we don't know exactly how much access ART has to murderbot's... data? thought data? we know it derives something from how murderbot interacts with the feed (access to interpretable emotion), we know it just sort of barges in wherever it wants, we know from system collapse that "no, ART can't read my mind, it just knows me really well", so like. it probably doesn't have context for the origin of this new nickname, which murderbot presumably begins calling it with no explanation.

but ART's smart so like it definitely knows what ART stands for, given (gestures at murderbot's entire disposition), and this is just so funny to me. ART refers to murderbot by some complicated string of letters and numbers that any other bot would use, and murderbot refers to ART as "you jackass" and ART's probably just soooo pleased that its newest bestie4lyfe gave it a nickname it's all so unbelievably funny

The Murderbot Diaries are so good because they ask big questions like "what if a machine wanted autonomy but didn't want to be treated like a human" and "what if your co-workers kept trying to talk to you about your feelings".

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

I'll be honest, I'm shy about posting OC stuff on here. I just like this bot too much too keep it hidden
