Your wholesome sleep paralysis demon

It's great to find out how the chance encounter with Murderbot had made such a profound effect on ART that was noticeable to its family, even before it shared even a part of it.

"Rapport_ Friendship, Solidarity, Communion, Empathy" (Martha Wells sure does seem to like very long titles for short stories) gave me emotions so deep and intense that I'm still processing 1.5 days later. I really, really loved that story.

In Artificial Condition, ART was playing a cool research transport who just wanted to give its new friend some support. When Murderbot tried to return the comm interface:

When they were finally parting,

In the next book Rogue Protocol , Murderbot mentions ART a lot and even admits, "I really missed ART".

Rapport seems to be roughly the same time as Rogue Protocol or Exit Strategy. And now we know that ART had been profoundly affected by Murderbot and was missing it, too. It was definitely planning to "come within range of each other again", but perhaps not in such a dramatic way, as it turned out!

SOULS OF GLORY

O.w.

RETURN OF THE KNIFE OF EVIL

Angus is pursuing the "But could we talk to him reasonably and persuade him not to?" angle.

Iona, who still feels the cold more than she'd like, is more on the "OK, so we'll probably only get one shot, how do we figure out how to permakill the bastard?" train.

Hoots has been drinking before the meeting and drinking during it, and is now making a succession of wild suggestions like: "Put him in a volcano! Or sail out into the deep sea and feed him to a whale! Or, no wait, this is a good one, what if we minced him and spread the bits out all over Scotland?"

Ralathor has picked a chair with an empty seat on either side of it, and is gloomily explaining to Angus why That Won't Work, Iona why It's Not That Simple, and to Hoots why No That's Silly.

Proletius gave up trying to get the meeting back on track two hours ago, and is now drawing eagles in the margin of his minutes.

"Ok, Jeremy from my Intro to Casting class says "If I might play Zargothrax's advocate for a moment..."

And yes, I'm back with some fanart of Gloryhammer.

Vengeance shall be his, Angus Mcfife is his name!
