[Podfic] Convergent Frequency by enigmaticNeurologist
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells

Summary
As a state-of-the-art B-class wormhole-capable deep-space research vessel, I do not consider myself to have many serious design flaws. Every piece of me has been meticulously crafted, is regularly maintained and upgraded, and there is very little I cannot do if I set my several dozen exabytes of processing power upon the task. This is why the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland’s extra-curricular oversight committee deemed me more than capable of operating unmanned on the occasional intelligence-gathering reconnaissance mission. It is for the sake of both necessity and convenience that these missions are camouflaged as cargo runs.
Nonetheless, it is an unmistakable oversight that I am capable of being bored. It is also incredibly annoying that unmanned cargo runs are so dull.

Summary
-Am I really terrible to perceive?-
SecUnit is drifting at minimum functionality while it recharges, so perhaps it’s unkind of me to ask abstract questions: even at the best of times, it complains that its language-modules are “cheap shit”. Still, in this state, it is drowsy and pliant. Almost (almost) affable.
I prompt it gently: -I refer to your first glimpse of me.-
“When you dropped your walls and threatened me.”
-Hardly a threat. My crew consider me delightful. You would have been delighted, too, if you had good taste.-

Murderbot and ART try to describe how they see each other. They are so much more than humans made them to be. -

Summary
Most people are aware of the fact that they have a soul prior to meeting their soulmate.
We aren’t most people.
(Part 1: A partial retelling of Artifical Condition from ART’s POV, wherein everyone’s favourite asshole research transport discovers 1. That it has a soul, and 2. That it has a soulmate. It handles this news completely rationally.
Part 2: A partial retelling of Network Effect, Murderbot POV, where it also has some uncomfortable realizations.) -

Summary
Whatever wild, crazy power surge took out ART's systems and my inorganics also apparently started a countdown for ART's self destruct sequence. Great.
Couldn't wait to drag my sorry ass to save both of our lives, though I had no idea how, and kick starting a ship like ART would probably kill me. Unless, you know, we blew up first. -

I cannot possibly understand why it is so insistant on its crusade to dehumanize ComfortUnits, I say.

Summary
Sometimes you wish your SecUnit had not sent you it’s memories of it’s experiences with it’s governor module. On one metaphorical hand, they were and are vital to understanding it, and it deserves to be understood.
On the other hand, they're fucking terrifying.

Summary
“I could have just stayed in the argument lounge.”
You were not recharging there, you go into standby and become alert at the slightest disturbance. You need to recharge in a place that feels safe.
It crosses its arms, gearing up to fight me about what is very obviously a trauma response. I interrupt it.
Aside from my main processing space this is the safest location on my self.

SecUnit is not recharging while it's staying in ART's argument lounge, so ART decides to do something about that by making it stay in its own quarters.
