Murderbot


This weeks comfort watch sci-fi sit-com; Murderbot follows a self-hacking security android (a “SecUnit”) named Murderbot who has gained free will but prefers to keep it secret while watching media. The series, based on the boooks “The Murderbot Diaries” by Martha Wells explores Murderbot’s reluctant journey as it navigates dangerous situations and forms unexpected bonds while trying to maintain its desire for solitude and media consumption.


The whole team is in for this one, Dion, Jill, Quinny and Peta, and in our own way we are all Murderbots… on the right day.


Synopsis


A media-obsessed private security cyborg, calling itself Murderbot, must hide its newly acquired autonomy, while completing dangerous assignments and being simultaneously drawn to humans and appalled at their weakness.

Trailer:


I am a security unit or SEC unit. I was built to protect and obey. Humans and humans are idiots. But now that I’ve hacked my programming, I can do whatever I want as long as they don’t find out. 


Speaker 1 


Well. 


Speaker 


Now let’s talk security. We need you to select the SEC unit to take on the mission this. Is the newest model available? There’s the one behind it. That’s a refurbished. 


Speaker 3 


Model. Ohh. Look at that piece. Of crap. Oh, wait, that’s me. 


Speaker 


Which one is the? 


Speaker 4 


Least expensive that one, but you get what you. Pay for. 


Speaker 3 


True. 


Speaker 


Wouldn’t be so creepy, but didn’t stand so still. Can you hear? Us Ant. 


Speaker 3 


I could. I just didn’t care. I was watching the entertainment channels on the company’s satellites. I had watched 7532 hours of content shows like the rise and fall of Sanctuary Moon. Sleep with that. Stars captain. Ohh, what now? 


Speaker 


Sorry. 


Speaker 3 


Run. Stay calm. It’ll be OK. 


Speaker 


I didn’t know that the. Face. Yeah, it’s kind. Of a sweet face. 


Speaker 3 


Stop staring at. 


Speaker 


Me. I wasn’t. Stop staring at me. With you. 


Speaker 4 


I have been noticing some anomalies with the secunia T and when I plugged into its system the unit was already rogue. 


Speaker 3 


Ohh. 


Speaker 4 


Itself murder. White House proverb. It’s a killing machine. 


Speaker 


Murder bomb. You stop calling murder bots terrifying. 


Speaker 4 


I mean, that’s what it calls itself. So I am just being respectful. 


Speaker 


Do you think we can trust it? It seems like it’s going through something. 


Speaker 4 


I contact. 


Speaker 1 


You could have killed me. 


Speaker 3 


There was a chance, yes, but everything turned out fine. 


Jill 


Sucking middle with you. 


Speaker 


Here I am. 


Dion 


Hello. Hello and welcome to the periodic table of awesome. My name is Dion or SEC unit. 4332. 414999 and tonight I’m joined by real live left wing colonists Jill and Peter and corporate espionage. Maddie quinny. 


Quinny

Dion 


One. Ohh. You know my father. 


Quinny 


Is there a wonder I’ve never met her God? 


Dion 


OK, that’s some terrible, terrible jokes. Uh, hello. How are you? How are you guys all going? Good. Look at you all. You’re all beautiful and gorgeous people. 


Quinny 


Hmm. 


Jill 


We’re all happy to be here, I think. 


Dion 


Yeah. And I’ve had a lot of a lot of medication in the last couple of days, so I feel ******* great. 


Quinny 


Yeah. He feels pretty. Feels so pretty. Pretty, pretty. 


Dion 


And numb, witty and. Yes, with Ian, how are you guys? Don’t all speak of 1. 


Jill

Dion 


Dead Air is the best air on podcast, isn’t it? 


Quinny 


Kicking goals. Just kicking all the goals. Pete, how are you? 


Dion 


Sorry, how are you? Were you all distracted watching content? 


Jill 


Yeah, I’m just watching Sanctuary Moon behind my dead eyes. 


Dion 


That’s to be honest, that’s that’s probably what we’re all doing when people are talking. On the phone, it’s like. Isn’t that we supposed to do in zoom meetings to to zone out a little bit like? Wait. 


Jill 


I just look at myself. 


Dion 


I’m pretty I’m better than all these other people. 


Quinny 


The sexy John show wandering around my head. Yeah. 


Dion 


Again, second long pause, awkward. Nothing. This is just gross. 


Quinny 


That’s fine. We will. We’ve all just and and, and I did say, Pete, how are you doing? You have thus far laughed, and that’s about it. 


Speaker 


I mean.
