Rotating a murderbot and w359 crossover specifically imagining a hilariously disastrous MB and Eiffel dynamic
Eiffel is trying so hard not to do more robot micro aggressions. He and Hera have talked about this, they have a game plan! It’s not working. Eiffel is kinda scared of MB and panicking about disappointing Hera and he just keeps saying shit. MB hates him on sight, and hates him more with every passing second. The only reason it’s not throttling him is because Hera vouches for him and it kinda likes Hera.
Then of course some big disaster hits and eeeeveryone has to work together to fix it. And MB gets the baffling tonal dissonance of watching Eiffel snap into competent mode and be very good at what he does. And the thing is, it likes humans who are competent at their jobs.
And it’s confused and what if this is some kind of deception thats a danger to its humans?!? This asshole is clearly a liar! But obviously it’s going to figure out that Eiffel is just a world class half-ass-er, just like Murderbot is. And that he is/was also a captive, forced into this situation against his will. And thats he’s super loyal to his commander. And that he defines himself via media he likes. Which is also what MB does.
And Eiffel chills out after surviving an emergency with these guys, and MB probably saved his life somewhere in the chaos, so he’s probably a little bit star-struck now, which is… better than fear, mostly anyways. But it still can’t stand being in the same room as him
I’m just picturing Eiffel going “dude I wish I could watch movies in my brain all day! Being a SecUnit must be so cool” and Murderbot being like “hahah you have no fucking clue what my life is like. But also yes watching movies in my brain is pretty cool. You should be jealous.” And Minkowski yells over from where she and Mensah are having a tea party in the corner that, “if you could do that you’d never get anything done!” Eiffel replies “well yeah that’s the point commander! But hey if I was a SecUnit you wouldn’t have to worry so much when I get shot into space!” And then ART, from the digital tea party it and Hera are having, makes some comment about SecUnits just finding new and even more horrifying ways to put themselves in mortal danger.
