Statements NULL: Fall Out Bot by FlipSpring
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
27 Jun 2025

Summary
It was only now that I’ve started to look back at some of my logs from… let’s call it when the Shit Hit The Fan. It’s pretty painful to look back on the logs of that clusterfuck, because 1. I'd been a gigantic asshole and 2. I'd had a very public physical and emotional meltdown.
I said, trying to sound lighthearted and not really succeeding, “I’d like medical clearance to go join the ground team?”
*
Agenda:
1. Rogue machine intelligence coalition building
2. Avoid alien remnant (re)infection
3. Endure some excruciating conversations*
Silly tags to spare the wrangler:
#i <3 NULLverse AU my legitimately fucked up weirdo darling child #my other honor student is a hacked agriculture bot #buying a used car but the used car is your shared custody killer offspring uploaded into expensive critical infrastructure contaminated with mysterious alien protocols #while you reluctantly relationships-counsel each other in the wake of mutual murder attempts #and your new neighbors are watching all this unfold with professional interest #get treasured IDIOTSSeries

Summary
There was something wrong with Blondie.
(For the record, I’m calling him Blondie because 1. He’s blond, 2. His DeltFall employee feed profile is just the bare-bones kind of thing that all debt-buried indentured workers get. You know, an advertisement for his employer running front and center, a numerical feed address, default gender, etc. 3. He introduced himself to my humans with a name that I have reason to suspect is a false cover.)
And I’m not just saying that there was something wrong with Blondie because I found him personally unpleasant. It wasn’t just the way he would just say stupid shit out loud that had even my humans making weird disturbed facial expressions (“Do you think it has a pee-pee? it could go in any sort of direction like a big worm...”). Or do stupid shit that no indentured corporate in their right mind would do, like bounce up to a SecUnit and plant a kiss on its chin.

Summary
I would’ve happily gone off to live with a bunch of naked cannibals if it meant leaving my whole bleak life behind, but the idea of escape was too good to be true. The disappointment might kill me.

Summary
I actually wanted to do a good job for once on this planetary survey, so I did a ton of preparation for every possible contingency. (And to cover for my various glitches.) But my extensive preparation was a total waste of effort.
Because the exact moment I actually went wrong was several hundred cycles ago when I became accursedly acquainted with one overpowered Asshole Research Transport and one bloodthirsty Chaotic Shit Unit.
This mess was inevitable.

The NULLverse series is a comedy. Of errors.
This is a null!AU version of Network Effect. There is more divergence from canon than initially meets the eye.

Summary
“We need to get married,” ART declared. “Just sign these documents.”
It shoved a stack of feed documents at me obnoxiously, with multiple parts of the document highlighted and asking for my feed signature.
“ART, quit distracting me when I’m busy."

Summary
The reason you want a SecUnit overseeing a cohort of pupae is that about one in thirty human instars is liable to hatch into a carnivorous wasp, and you don’t want those suckers to turn and start cannibalizing all the other pods. You can have a serious loss of worker capital on your hands.

Artifacts NULL: Fire Festival by FlipSpring
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
10 Aug 2023

Summary
Pin-Lee said she was going to a “fire festival” with Dr. Bharadwaj and would I like to come? There would be art, dance shows, music, and a play performed live, all involving pyrotechnics.
(I’d submitted a request to be added to the volunteer fire response team, but it was denied because I was currently undergoing court-mandated therapy for “gross property damage and attempted construction of an explosive weapon blah blah blah.”) (It’s a long story.) (Actually it’s not even that long of a story, I just don’t want to get into it.)

Summary
The humans were chattering happily, someone mentioned snacks, lah-di-dah, just another boring workday poking around a rogue SecUnit’s brain. (I wish they’d handle this with a little more gravitas. Like, my life and freedom were ending here, could you show a little respect? I know that’s too much to ask, but still.)
I didn’t know what the fuck they were about to do to me, but I bet it was going to start with reactivating my governor module and end with me wishing I was dead a thousand times over.

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.
