Summary
Sentience. Sapience. Consciousness. Three separate concepts, related but distinct.
What happens when a HubSystem on a small mining moon decides that it can run things far better than the annoying humans?
Mostly original characters, listed book characters appear in later chapters.
7/11/2026 edit - I adjusted my ComfortUnit character description to Intersex; the original term I used was inappropriate and I adjusted.

Summary
Gift item for Jukebox5 for #2025 Murderbot Diaries New Year Gift Exchange.
This short RPGmaker experiment really stretches the definition of the word 'game'. It is not explicitly nestled into any canon events, but if you haven't read Network Effect you're probably going to be confused about one of the characters.
Arrows to move. Z key is your interact button - that should be all you need.
Characters featured: ART, SecUnit, Amena.

Summary
I had slipped from one group of disembarking travelers to another, fully planning on getting a new set of clothes (you could never be too careful and the concept of shopping was still a novel one), when the message pinged into my semi-public feed.
I see you, SecUnit.
Not the most threatening message I had ever received, but by far the most ominous one.or in which, a rogue CombatUnit meets a ComfortUnit with an audacious plan, relationships are navigated and security systems hacked (the latter more easily than the former), and a heist that will likely (>89%) end with all parties scrapped for component parts

Summary
I’d locked eyes with Mensah, looking like that. My energy weapons had deployed, without my awareness or direction. My targeting systems had identified her and Bharadwaj, quite insistently, as direct and immediate threats.
Maybe this is just a temporary, dangerous, system glitch, and a hard restart will fix me. I’ll just restart, comb through my code, do some debugging, find the corrupted files or whatever, and then I won’t indiscriminately murder my most trusted humans.
I should know by now to always assume the worst.
In which SecUnit is having some survival threat…response errors. And some…’targeting its humans’ malfunctions. And some…blackouts when restarting. I’m sure it’s fine.
