One day, years after the events of Network Effect, Murderbot gets a message package labeled “Murderbot 2.0: Mission Report”. Then, shortly after that, it gets another message package simply titled “assistance needed”. And then another, with that same title. And then another. And another.

#targetcontrolsystem#murderbot 2.0#the murderbot diaries#im a big enough person to admit i only came up with a tcs design so that i could do that bottom redraw#its kinda a stretch for it to have a design like this in the first place#also i forgot what color the crystals were supposed to be so they were purple until i changed them last minute

This wasn’t so much an oh shit moment as it was a spike of brain-numbing terror. I was expecting a room full of active connections, from the components to the screens and then through the walls to the rest of the installation, even if some or most of those connections were sending or receiving from damaged or dead nodes.
Instead, the diagram showed the connections, but they came from the dead human body, and formed a weblike mass. It was interwoven with the central system, then stretched out to the walls, following the old connection pathways.
I bumped into the hatch, which was when I realized I had been backing up.
2.0 whispered, That’s targetControlSystem.
YEEEES!!!! YEEEEEEEES!!!

Network Effect, Chapter 14
(Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index and a primer on The Murderbot Diaries, read this one!)
In which, well, did you see that coming?
Murderbot calls out to Art, and Art asks if it knows what it is. It knows its designation, "Murderbot 2.0". It feels weird, not having its usual sensory inputs. At least when its brain was the gunship, the gunship was its body. Now, it's just sentient killware in a storage drive.(1)
Art shares video input of Amena, looking anxious in one of Art's cameras. 2.0 (which I will henceforth just call 2 for ease of typing) remembers that it found Art's cameras annoying at one point, but not why.(2) It remembers its media archive, and finds that some of its recently accessed files are available, for comfort more than practicality, since killware might forget who it is and who it was designed to want to kill.
Amena asks if 2 can see her, and after fumbling to find the comms, it replies that it can. She asks if it feels alright. Then Art talks to her without 2, and she says 2 has to leave but she wants it to be careful, please.(3)
Art tells 2 that it's pursuing the B-E explorer vessel, and it can use the explorer's attempts to make comm contact to deploy 2. Art asks if 2 understands what that means. 2 snarks that it's not literally a baby, it remembers helping to write the directive. Art says that doesn't make it easier.(4) 2 says Art can have a crisis or get its crew back, and to pick. Art says to ready for deployment.
2 expects to feel something in the transmission, but one minute it's in Art's storage, and the next it's comm code on the explorer. It gets to work, its essential function not hampered by juxtaposing a consciousness accustomed to having a humanoid body. It has to strike a balance between taking control, and allowing its presence to be detected. The B-E SecSystem has been wiped clean, so it partitions itself there, in case it runs into trouble it can come back and find itself again.(5)
SecSystem's access to cameras helps a lot in gathering intel. The B-E ship isn't quite as heavily wired as MB's old company requires, but it's close. It finds a bunch of dead, but eight live Targets on the bridge. As it examines them, 2 feels TargetControlSystem on its peripheral senses.
Knowing it doesn't have much longer, it keeps searching the cameras, and finds a room with seven human occupants, all apparently unconscious. Four of them are in B-E livery, but one is in a blue jacket of the right shade, and the other two wear casual clothing, no indicator of affiliation at all, but again an 80% match for three of Art's crew.
There's also a SecUnit, standing outside the room with the humans. It was ordered to stand down, but since the humans are still alive inside, its governor module hasn't fried it yet. 2 feels very weird about looking at another version of its original body. It knows it could overwrite the unit, but it doesn't want to.(6)
2 freezes the governor module, so nothing sets it off, and sends the new unit a company greeting. 2 knows the unit isn't company, but it will recognize the protocol as not necessarily hostile. After four seconds, a reply, asking to identify. 2 doesn't want to lie, it's too important, so it says it's a rogue unit, operating as killware, trying to rescue endangered clients.
The unit doesn't respond, and 2 knows the information will be unexpected, plus units are discouraged from fraternizing, so it suggests just talking, because there's no protocol for this discussion. The unit says it's not sure what to say. 2 finds this an encouraging response, since it's not murder.
2 says three of its clients are in the room behind the unit, but asks if the unit has seen the other clients, sending images of the missing crew. The unit says SecSystem is down, but it has some archived video, which it shares and summarizes. Eight humans were brought aboard, but five disembarked at the dock. The unit says the Targets ran out of the implants, which seem to function something like a governor module, and went to the dock to send the humans without implants to the surface.
At further prompting by 2, the unit shares that the Targets tried installing something on the explorer drive, but it failed, and they'd deleted the bot pilot so it couldn't assist. The attempt to harness Art as a weapon against future system incursion failed. In the attached clips, 2 can see how the remnant on the drive is looking rough. The drive is obviously not wormhole-capable, and their attempt to take Art has ended with Art hunting them.
The unit adds that the Targets have fought among themselves on board, as though they were split into at least two factions, which can be exploited to get the clients back. It includes clips of the Targets talking to each other. 2 asks about what they mean by spreading something to the humans, but the unit doesn't have anything on that.
While 2 is thinking, the unit asks if 2 has information on its SecUnit 2 (no relation). SecUnit 1 was killed by the Targets, and 2 was left on the dock. After a 1.2 second hesitation, it adds that it is SecUnit 3. 2 wants to lie, but wants 3 to trust it more, so it tells the truth: the Targets left it immobile on space dock, after killing the B-E humans it left there, and its governor module did the rest. 3 thanks 2 for telling it.
2 picks up a conversation on the bridge, about trying to make an engine failure look convincing. 2 asks 3 about the bot pilot, and 3 confirms it was deleted, but 3 has a basic piloting module. The admission heartens 2, and asks if 3 can get the humans to the shuttle and off this ship, where Art can pick them up. 3 politely reminds 2 that its governor module is holding it in place.
There's no option for 2 but to admit that it can disable 3's governor module, and it offers to do that whether or not 3 helps it. This is too much for 3, who gives a canned negative response. 2 needs another tactic.
We didn’t have time for me to show it 35,000 hours of media and I didn’t have access to my longterm storage anyway. And that had worked on me, but I knew I was weird even for a SecUnit. Maybe it would trust me more if it knew me better. I pulled some recent memories from the files I’d brought with me, edited them together, and added one helpful code bundle at the end.
:send helpme.file: Read this.(7)
3 accepts the file, but shows no response. 2 takes the opportunity to look at the rest of the ship, carefully, leaving packets of code in useful corners to deploy later. It also tweaks some of the stealth code to prevent the Targets from using it on the ship's plating again. It knows that to disable the solid-state screen device on the bridge, to free the humans, it's going to have to get uncomfortably close to TCS.
2 finds the seven channels for the seven implants, and tweaks one, to be sure it's right. One of the humans twitches. It's going to have to be very fast to do this without TCS or a Target hitting a kill switch on them.
Reconnecting with 3, 2 says it's found the signal for the implants. They can retrieve all the humans, together.
Something was coming and I broke the connection. Just in time, because .05 seconds later, targetControlSystem found me.(8)
=====
(1) When I asked "What's coming for MB?" I bet you couldn't have guessed THIS. Well, unless you've read this before, too.
(2) Establishing the limits of how much of MB is "data" to be copied like this, and how much is individuality, uncopiable. Of course, it's not going to be laid out on easy, markable lines.
(3) She's taking this baby thing so seriously and I love her for it.
(4) Easier to send its best friend to its death. Even if it's "just" a copy, it's a copy close enough to have the same drives and responses.
(5) This is that Mickey gif if I ever saw it in practice. "It's a surprise tool that will help us later!" Indeed.
(6) Taking over another consciousness is no different from the murder our Murderbot also hates, because it values life, as long as that life isn't threatening itself or its clients or its friends.
(7) Finally, the full context of the helpme files.
(8) How can you keep doing this to my heart, Martha Wells?

so I learned how to play Zarcana recently so I’m now kind of into the tarot deck and I’m also into murderbot and I love those things where people draw characters as tarot cards but I can’t draw so
tl;dr: I figured out a murderbot tarot deck. just the major arcana though I don’t know enough about all the others and I barely know enough about the major arcana, I had to do a lot of googling.
anyway. lmk if you have other opinions. you are welcome to draw/make art of any of these, consider them public domain. also rip Volescu I couldn’t figure out a place to put him.
0 - The Fool - Miki
1 - The Magician - Three
2 - The High Priestess - Pin Lee
3 - The Empress - Don Abene (was originally going to be Arada but she gets one later on and I wanted to be fair and spread the love. Could also be Farai)
4 - The Emperor - Seth
5 - The Hierophant - Indah (I’ll keep it real, I looked at a lot of sources and I’m still confused on what exactly the hierophant is supposed to be. feel free to correct me)
6 - The Lovers - Arada and Overse
7 - The Chariot - ART (I was originally going to make ART the Sun bc hehehe perihelion, sun, funny, but then I read the text for the sun and I was like hmmm I still need a place to put Ratthi, sorry ART pun’s not worth it)
8 - Strength - Murderbot fighting Hostile One (this card is supposed to have a guy fighting a beast on it so. here ya go)
9 - The Hermit - Gurathin
10 - Wheel of Fortune - this one was HARD. It’s a little conceptual, but I went with ART’s introduction to murderbot. I was thinking the picture could be like murderbot sittin on the floor with the words “you were lucky” in a circle in around its head kinda like a halo. my justification is a. ‘lucky’ ‘wheel of fortune’ it connects, b. wheel of fortune is supposed to be a sudden change in your life, or a lucky break, and I’d say it’s pretty damn lucky that ART just so happened to be the transport mb picked to ride to RaviHyral, and it represents a sudden change in mb’s life as it makes its first friend that’s like it, that can understand it.
11 - Justice - Murderbot
12 - The Hanged Man - that part in Network Effect where they hang mb upside down and it has to detach its own hand to escape. it’s just too perfect.
13 - Death - Murderbot 2.0, specifically the moment of its death, where 1.0 had to blow up central, killing it and targetcontrolSystem. this was hard too.
14 - Temperance - Bharadwaj
15 - The Devil - The Company and/or GrayCris and/or the Corporation Rim in general
16 - The Tower - the Ganaka Pit massacre
17 - The Star - Amena
18 - The Moon - Mensah
19 - The Sun - Ratthi
20 - Judgement - Thiago
21 - The World - that part at the end of Exit Strategy where mb and mensah are on the balcony looking out over Preservation talking about how mb has options, and a place to belong now.

TargetControlSystem told them I was a SecUnit. TargetContact said that wasn’t possible, a SecUnit is a kind of bot, like the ones on the captured ships, easily dealt with when you had control of the humans.
(Yeah, it said "The humans." But if this was an alien intelligence then all the horror media I’d watched had really gotten it wrong. Which is not impossible considering how wrong the media gets everything else.) (Network Effect, 291)
oh so now it's weird to call the humans "the humans"? remind me real quick - what do you call them again?

I limped over to the star-shaped box that now held 2.0, Central, and targetControlSystem. They’re sleeping, I told myself. 2.0 and Central wouldn’t feel a thing.

I’m letting you see all this because I want you to know what I am and what I can do. I want you to know who targetControlSystem is fucking with right now. I want you to know if you help me, I’ll help you, and that you can trust me.
Now here’s the code to disable your governor module.

In the Murderbot Diaries our eponymous hero (yes, you are a hero) will often slide into artificial intelligences and then out again, sometimes erasing the memory of its very presence. With the company gunship in Exit Strategy it even performs a sort of mind-meld; becoming one with the ship. It does this, ART does this, the horrific alien mind thing (targetControlSystem) in Network Effect does it…and of course the adorably feral 2.0 really exists as this.
So, constructs do it? Bots do it? Even alien remnant eldritch horrors do it? Why doesn’t Murderbot try it with its humans? It spends quite a bit of time in sort of existential reverie and a bit of immersion in what it’s like to be human might help?
Obviously the ideal person for this would be someone it trusts and has known for some time and who understands its background and is preferably augmented.
Yes I want Murderbot Gurathin mind-meld.
Who doesn’t?

more humanoid bot-things!!! this time featuring Murderbot and 2.0 because i love them.
[Image ID: An image composed of various sketches of ART, Murderbot, and Murderbot 2.0 in cartoonish, humanoid-bot forms.
ART is tall, with a cuboid head, a single eye, and blue segments on its head, legs, elbows. It also has long floating spines around its shoulders and two antenna on its head with small orbs on the ends.
Murderbot is wearing a grey hoodie with grey segments on its head, neck, and legs. It has three spikey bits on the top of its head that give the impression of hair.
2.0 is slightly shorter than Murderbot, with red segments on its head, neck, arms, and legs. It has two pointed horn-like antenna coming up from the sides of its head, with the one on its left having a small orb floating above the point.
The first sketch is ART and Murderbot standing next to each other, emphasizing their height difference. ART is bent down slightly, with its hands behind is back. It's looking down at Murderbot with a smug expression. Murderbot has its hands in its hoodie and is looking up at ART with a deadpan, done-with-your-bullshit expression.
The second sketch is ART and Murderbot sitting together and watching media. ART is sitting with its arms around its knees and its head resting on its forearms, while Murderbot is leaning against its back with its knees bent slightly. Murderbot looks forward at the multiple screens in front of it, while ART looks over at it with a fond expression.
The third sketch is 2.0 popping up behind Murderbot while saying "Hey is that you?". Murderbot looks over it's shoulder with a startled expression and an exclamation point next to it's head.
The fourth sketch is 2.0 sitting up quickly on a bench, as if just awoken. Its saying "ART." and ART, who next to it, is responding "I'm here." It has it's elbows on the bench, and its pose suggests it had its chin resting on its hands a moment before. It's antenna and floating spines are both straight and pointy, indicating that it's on alert.
The fifth sketch is 2.0 saying "a ghost that kills you." It is standing with one hand behind its back and the other held in front of it in a fist. It has its head tilted to the side and two red pinpricks in its eyes.
The sixth sketch is of 2.0 saying "This is how I win.", also with red pinpricks in its eyes. Its standing with one fist at its side and the other pinning a messy black scribble-like entity, representing TargetControlSystem, to the wall next to it. Its head is turned and bowed slightly and it's expression conveys anger, sureity, confidence, and slight sadness.
The last sketch is of 2.0 non-chalantly saying "I wrote a new directive" over it's shoulder to Murderbot, who stares at it with an expression conveying concern and vague horror. Faintly, next to Murderbot's head, is the word "WOT" /end ID]
#these are so fun to draw won't lie#also fun to design#like 2.0 has elements of MB and ART's designs cus like. ya gotta.#anyway the one with MB leaning on ART and the one with 2.0 and TargetControlSystem hurt to draw because emotions#murderbot#the murderbot diaries#murderbot and ART#ART/Perihelion#Murderbot 2.0#stuff i made#bram's feedsonas#feedsonas

The Murderbot Diaries - Network Effect
1.
“Not that! Why are you sad and upset?” That was the point where even I could tell that Amena was terrified as well as furious. “There’s something you’re not telling me and it’s scaring me! I’m not a fucking hero like my second mom or a genius like everybody else in my family, I’m just ordinary, and you’re all I’ve got!” I wasn’t expecting that. It was so far from what I thought she had meant, and she was so upset, that the truth inadvertently came out. “My friend is dead!”
[ID: a drawing in cold light blue and turquoise. In the centre is Murderbot with a very exasperated expression, shouting and gesturing, blood trickling down its face. Its left gunport is deployed. In the foreground, visible from behind, is Amena, tilting her head at it. She has a fluffy afrod tied halfway back. Both of them are wearing the same kind of space suits. Three drones float around the area, and in the background Eletra is recovering in ART’s MedBay. /end ID]
2.
Instead, the diagram showed the connections, but they came from the dead human body, and formed a weblike mass. It was interwoven with the central system, then stretched out to the walls, following the old connection pathways. I bumped into the hatch, which was when I realized I had been backing up. 2.0 whispered, That’s targetControlSystem.
[ID: a drawing in bright turquoise and dark red and purple. Murderbot is standing in the entrance to the control room, the hatch of which is red-purple, and bright turquoise crystallic light is shining from inside the room and reflecting on it. Warnings and text boxes are glitching up in the feed in front of it, and in the circular room lies a human body, eyes open, overgrown with glowing white crystals that connect in strings to the roof and pillars in the room /end ID]

Network Effect, Chapter 5
(Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index and a primer on The Murderbot Diaries, read this one!)
In which Murderbot sets somebody straight.
Murderbot calls back a lot of its drones to scout ahead and cover behind, heading toward Medical. It knows some intruder is controlling the targetDrones and guiding the ship through the wormhole, so it designates it targetControlSystem (I will use TCS). MB hopes TCS is sentient enough to hurt when MB kills it. MB also sets its drones to logging movement, even if they can't detect the stealth drones.
Some Targets arrive at the crew meeting area, but Target Three used a manual override to seal it from inside, and they can't undo it. They also can't access Art's systems themselves. MB decides Art must be dead, but it has to take care of the humans before it can have an emotion about it.
MB asks the Barish-Estranza pair how many Targets they've seen. When Amena clarifies that it means the grey people, they answer, at least five. MB has already identified six, making their intel useless, as usual. From its scout drones, MB sees Targets Four, Five, and Six reconfigure their helmets to cover their faces. It's not like it has enough drones to waste killing them that way anyway, but it's miffed all the same. Even its risk assessment module thinks the odds are bad.(1)
When they reach the next section, MB lets the humans through, then activates a manual release, and uses its energy weapon to melt a few key components. Ras asks Amena what it's doing, so Amena asks MB. Internally, it says it's using Art's schematic to close off the crew living section of the ship tactically. Aloud, it says it's creating a safe zone.
It loses two more drones to targetDrones on the way to Medical, but clears the way, remembering its time here with Tapan. It tells the humans to stay in the medical suite while it closes off the other hatches. When it returns, it asks where Perihelion's crew is. When she realizes Ras and Eletra aren't Art's crew, Amena takes MB's side in the questioning. Ras makes another comment about MB obeying Amena, who interrupts to say it doesn't even like her. MB thinks that's unfair, Amena didn't like it first. Ras tries, with Eletra's backup, to encourage Amena to tell MB to take orders from them, as the adults here.
I see I have some operational parameters to establish.
I crossed the room, grabbed Ras by the front of his uniform jacket and slammed him down on the med platform. I said, “Answer my question.”
Behind me, Eletra had flinched and backed away. Amena said, “SecUnit! My mother will be angry if you hurt him!”
Oh, we were going to try that tactic, were we. I said, “You obviously don’t know how your mother actually feels about Corporates.”
Eletra and Ras finally admit they don't know where the crew is, they've only seen the Targets since they were brought aboard. Amena tells MB to stop being mean. MB says it's trying to keep her alive. Amena asks if MB is alright, the drone hit it real hard, and it doesn't look good.
MB tells Amena to take care of her leg, but without activating MedSystem. For a heartbreaking second, MB realizes it forgot Art is dead, but it continues that MedSystem was controlled by the bot pilot, who must have been compromised or it would've killed the intruders. All three humans look worried. MB points them to the emergency kits, and says it's going to go clear the section. It leaves Amena some drones, and from her expression, MB realizes she doesn't want to split up.
On the feed, Amena makes a quip about always having wanted drones. MB almost wants to banter, but walking around Art's corpse, it feels wrong.(2)
While scouting, MB wonders why the Targets were pounding on the hatch like they were, and notices that their helmets have turned stealth, though not their suits. MB wonders if TCS shares its information with the Targets, or if they have no idea what happened to 1-3. More evidence that they don't have access to Art's systems, if they don't know that 2 is in the lounge.
Thinking of Art again, MB starts working on a hack for TCS. It has to seize the ship before they get to the other side of the wormhole.
MB watches the medical suite through the drones, as the B-E adults question Amena gently. MB feeds Amena answers to some questions, to make sure the B-Es get the impression it wants them to. Amena ends up having to explain non-corporate polities to them, as they have no concept of non-corporate life. Eventually they get to exchanging real information, and they say they were attacked on a supply transport and pulled aboard in their escape shuttle.
MB finally realizes it still has a drone in the bridge, and has it start scanning for active displays. Ras and Eletra were never told why they were taken, only given the barest of necessities of life. MB still has too many places to look where it might find the crew's bodies. It starts to find inconsistencies, including with the story Ras and Eletra are feeding Amena, when it finds the cabin it believes they were stored in. The cabin doesn't smell as bad as it expected, and the furniture's not in as bad of shape. The cabins the Targets were using don't smell of humans, but of growth medium from agriculture.
At long last, Amena asks what the B-E ship was doing, and the adults say they were attempting recovery on a lost settlement, though it's proprietary information, so they can't share much. Amena says she's a junior intern and not from the Corp Rim, she can't share much with anybody.
Ras, as the less reluctant one, says they wanted to recover a viable planet. Eletra gives in, and together they tell the rest of the story. The locations of a lot of older planets were lost before the wormholes were stabilized, but researchers can find them in old data troves, and corporations can file for ownership to establish a colony. Some corps went bankrupt from their endeavours, and their colonies were lost. Amena and MB recognize part of Preservation's past in the explanation, as their first colony failed and they were relocated just in time.
At any rate, the B-E ship was attacked en route to the colony they believed they'd found. Or, that's what Eletra says before Ras can answer.(3)
MB finds a cabin that holds some artifacts of Art's crew, uniforms and holographic prints. As it has an emotion about how much Art loved its crew, MB has a sudden 5% performance drop. As MB makes its way back, the humans start talking about it again, and the B-E pair tell Amena SecUnits aren't reliable, their human tissue makes them unpredictable, and they go rogue and attack their contract holders. Amena, suppressing an emotion MB can't identify,(4) says she wonders why they'd do that.
MB grabs a bag of rations from a supply locker, and taps Amena in the feed to say it's coming back. It wonders about all the supplies onboard. Ras and Eletra speak as though they're under the impression Amena and MB have been onboard for many days, and Amena must be confused about how much time has passed. MB wonders if Art and its crew did more than stare at space, really not paying attention to the feed from Medical.
So I only had a 1.4-second warning when I stepped through the hatch and Ras fired a weapon at me.(5)
For a human, his aim was great.
=====
(1) Oof, even with my theory that the RAM accounts for competence Murderbot doesn't, that's rough.
(2) Murderbot is grieving and my heart is weeping.
(3) I just find her rushing to answer very suspicious. What's she trying to get him not to say?
(4) My personal guess is a bit of amusement with a soupcon of horror. She trusts MB with her life, unquestioning, even if it hadn't had plenty of chances to kill her already if it wanted her dead. But, I think she's smart enough to see how people who believe SecUnits can't be trusted, would mistreat them so much as to ensure the SecUnits want freedom from human rule.
(5) Whaaaaaat? Why would he do this? What do he and Eletra know?
