Reblogging because its gold
my one wish for the murderbot series is I want b-roll of ratthi totally reevaluating his relationship to all machines ever
like I want murderbot in its pod panicking about getting treated like a person and then we cut to ratthi gently asking like, a space roomba if it's comfortable and if it has enough food because you don't know, gurathin!
Unfortunately I suspect that the murderbot show will go for a giant JARVIS-type setup for ART rather than the almost cosmic-horror or biblical angel level of being that seems to be communicated in the books. I always always get caught up in the fact that in that first meeting ART drops its walls for .00001 seconds. A literally incomprehensibly tiny number. You can’t wrap your mind around how small that timespan is. And murderbot is so terrified by the vastness with which it is confronted in that time that it curls up in a chair and goes mute. This is a “don’t look directly at the angel’s true form lest your eyes burn out of your skull” type of situation. By definition nearly impossible to capture in a visual medium I fear.

For a split second my dumbass thought the Fukushima nuclear accident had fried the rice
