Was thinking about how even though ART threatened its life and terrified it the literal first time they met and even so ART is its best friend while gurathin is clearly cared about but will always get the label of “the client that murderbot Doesn’t Like” in a way that just feels different to me

And I genuinely don’t remember but… did gurathin ever apologize to murderbot??

Not for being suspicious or careful or whatever, but the way ART did. Bc in their first interaction, ART apologized not for threatening it, but for scaring it

Acknowledging that it has feelings and that ART’s actions had consequences that directly affected the wellbeing of murderbot and that murderbot had valid reasons for “sulking” or not wanting to engage with ART in that moment. Because ART scared it.

I think that waking up hurt and vulnerable and finding out that someone you didn’t trust dug inside your mind and dragged out your biggest secrets that, if known, you are certain will directly lead to your death. Well. I just think that would be incredibly scary is all

#murderbot diaries #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #don’t get me wrong I enjoy gurathin as a character #he and murderbot really are feral cats who did NOT get long enough sniffing each other under a door #and I respect gura’s suspicion bc damn. the group is so horribly trusting #and like. that could absolutely kill them #and sometimes u are okay with being the bad guy as long as the people you care about *live*#it does make me wonder if things would have gone very differently if they’d met one on one #where gurathin didn’t have anything to protect #the meeting with ART happened partially because ART didn’t have its crew to protect after all #but it makes me wonder if ARTs crew were there. idk. I still think it would have apologized for scaring it #and art didn’t apologize for the threat. bc art had to keep itself safe. but.#maybe it would have chosen a different way #idk #thinking a lot about that apology rn #has anyone ever apologized to murderbot before? not for like. a decision. but for the way it impacted murderbot specifically #gurathin is scared too but like. not by murderbot?#Gurathin is scared of things he thinks might happen or what murderbot might do #while murderbot is scared by something Gurathin did to it while it was vulnerable #like until that point murderbots actions had all been to try and keep its clients alive and its secret intact to keep itself alive #and even then when it came to its life and the crew? it chose theirs #and the repayment was an incredible violation of its privacy and more suspicion
