Two sturdy humans and two SecUnits

#tmbd fanart #murderbot #secunit 3 #tarik #indah

Aw, a skeptical, mission-minded combat specialist who's haunted by his bloody past as an enforcer for the Corporates getting with the sunshine scientist who sees the good in everyone and is obnoxiously supportive

Ratthi / Tarik is adorable. I'm gonna die

I'm also worried for Tarik, because if he makes Ratthi cry Murderbot will rip his arms off.

Have you thought about how ART's crew fits into the human AU?

Also I love what you do and I shall pass along some monies for your office clothes post when I'm home from work because I just love the human AU so much

i have! ive mostly been procrastinating on posting about it because. dear god thats so many bitches. please miss wells my wrist

but i got over it <3 so heres the lore dump for the psumnt crue

disclaimer: im not an academic & have no idea if anything i say is accurate to Real University Life, just blame any plot holes on PSUMNT being not like other girls <3

seth and martyn are the heads of the environmental science department & biology departments, respectively

seth is iris & ART's bio-uncle, he adopted them after his sister (their bio-mom) passed. iris and art were too young when it happened to remember much about her, and have only ever seen seth and martyn as their dads

seth and martyn founded the PSUMNT's covert ecological survey program, where they gather evidence against government & corporate entities that cover up environmental damage

art is, officially speaking, only part-time transportation for PSUMNT. it drives the busses/RVs/what have you to survey locations for undergrad field work. unofficially, it's the one that scouts out new locations for the covert program to investigate, ping-ponging across the continental US in its van and taking dirt/soil/air samples periodically

(yes, the students thinking that it's just some dipshit with a CDL drives it up the wall. it has 3 doctorates god dammit)

the rest of the crew are (publicly) staff within the university itself that also volunteer to assist with longer field surveys. their bi-annual group road trip is both normal and legal, stop worrying about it

this is a random one but kaede is a former ecoterrorist/activist that seth met doing protest work in the 90s. she has a bag of mint seeds in her pocket at all times in case she ever comes across a golf course

Reasons for Initial Mistrust against Murderbot

Gurathin:

This SecUnit has been rogue all the time! It had done mass-murder! It calls itself Murderbot! It explains all these weird things happening around us!

In a word: Suspicion

Senior Officer Indah:

I don't want to have a rogue SecUnit roaming free on my station, hacking into systems. I want it to have a feed id so that humans know what it is!

In a word: Suspicion

Tarik: (regarding SecUnits in general)

You don’t understand how dangerous those things are.

They’re the only MIs I know of who would have a chance in a fight with Peri!

In a word: Caution

Thiago:

I'm upset that Mensah talks about things she won't discuss with us to SecUnit! It's made itself indispensable to her!

In a word: Jealousy

I like you, Thiago 😂

tarik + his ongoing fear of karmic retribution

#oh i know that blood on his hands haunts him dfsfdsfdfd #the murderbot diaries #tarik #rapport friendship solidarity communion empathy #rapport spoilers #(+last bit is system collapse)#i just think its really funny that he seems to be the only one aboard art that any prior experience w secunits #and now this is his life. and after he made a career pivot to work with sheltered academics

Secunit fully not noticing Tarik & Ratthi’s relationship until it’s ended </3

(for @bookgrotto )

#monarch of unreliable narration because it is Not Looking #it didn’t notice in part cause it was having its own (platonic) relationship issues #ART meeting the “parents’ and whatnot #and asking it to move in ya know all that jazz #also I loved deciding what Tarik looked like #I went with the big buff ex-military daddy vibes lololol #the murderbot diaries #murderbot #tmbd #secunit #trafosu #Tarik #ratthi #network effect #system collapse

Just started reading Rapport and I'm laughing every time ART takes a shot at Tarik because it misses SecUnit and doesn't think Tarik is up to par, but Tarik doesn't know that so he's just constantly on the back foot for seemingly no reason

#rapport #rapport: friendship solidarity communion empathy #art #perihelion #asshole research transport #tmbd #tarik #secunit #murderbot

Tarik to ART: I'm concerned about this new friendship you have. You're very young and naive, SecUnits are not to be trusted. This bot might be a danger to you.

ART: stinky Tarik, my new best friend Murderbot would never do this for security concerns >:(

Murderbot talking to Amena: I'm breaking up you and your boyfriend because he's older than you and throwing up a lot of red flags. He might be a danger to you.
