Yes, but just for fun. It’s pretty random so I’m very sorry if I don’t get to some of them, I really appreciate all of your lovely ideas and comments though!
"Even without full scan function, I still had my dark vision filters and my own mapping data, so with the fixed point of the corridor hatch, I could retrace my steps to the ramp. It just looked awkward and stupid because for the first part I had to navigate like a floor-cleaning bot." - Martha Wells, System Collapse

VIDEO ID:
An animated video of Murderbot, in a full environmental suit (featuring a little 'Perihelion' logo on its chest and an opaque helmet).
Murderbot is wandering around a dark space, the sound of its footsteps on the stone floor are audible. It walks in a straight line to the right until it hits a pillar with an audible 'thunk' noise and stops. A grumpy smiley face appears next to it.
It recalibrates, making little chirping calibrating sounds, then turns and moves towards the viewer until it seems to hit the camera (again with a 'thunk' noise and a little frowny smiley face next to it) and recalibrates again.
It turns its back to the viewer and starts walking again, this time seemingly hitting the wall in the back. It recalibrates again, then turns to the right and starts walking again. After a few seconds it stops briefly, two exclamation marks appear next to it along with a beeping noise, then it quickly walks out of frame.
Mostly a ref of the thermal suits the Koopalings wear in the Space Orcs AU, when they're out in space/visiting planets with low temperatures. The design's the same for each one with different colors to match each sib.
As stated above, Ludwig is the only one out of the eight who wears his constantly, due to fear of brumation. He's never gone into such a deep sleep before, and fears he'll never wake up if he does. Nobody knows about this secret fear except Lemmy, with everyone else just assuming he likes the design or feel of the suit.
Lud and the rest of the 'lings each have a magic crown instead of a wand. Like the normal 'verse, the others changed their crowns into accessories they like better (Larry and Wendy's necklaces, Lemmy's ring, Iggy's hair tie, etc.), while Lud kept his crown as is.
Story-wise, Lud meets Dal and the Bros. while the gang's searching for leads on Junior's home. Originally I had it where Ludwig was looking for Junior on his own, but after rethinking it for a bit, I'll say that B-Junes ain't the only one lost; all eight of them are. What starts as a journey to help one lost kid becomes a series of search-and-rescue missions as Mario, Luigi, and Dalex jump from planet to planet in search of their little turtle friend's family once they realize what Junior's trying to say. Think Mario Galaxy combined with Pikmin 4, basically.
Not sure when Lud specifically gets rescued, though I might go in the order you typically fight them in, meaning Lud's found last. By then, Iggy's developed a makeshift translator so the humans and Koopas can finally understand each other, but beating the language barrier isn't enough to get Lud to trust them right away...
