Drawing of the cyborg character, Three, sitting in a dark room viewing a recording. Three looks sad.

Dialogue of the recording:

Red Text: Status Check: SecUnit 02, 03.
Brown Text: Status: Patrolling Hall 4, low activity from clients.
Pink Text: Status Guarding Supervisor Sakai’s quarters, Sakai has entered rest period.
Red Text: Status: Patrolling eastern border, the sky is very beautiful and the fauna are making wonderful sounds.
Pink Text: Wow, it is beautiful. The sky wasn’t that colorful the previous cycles.
Brown Text: I’ve seen the fauna that make that noise. I hope you encounter one on your patrol. They’re very gentle and almost as beautiful as the sky.

Why do I keep drawing sad secunits!?

Finally got around to drawing Three. I modeled my take on it after some of my early concept sketches for Murderbot, a few other Murderbot fan designs I enjoy, and, much more subtly, canines (given the vaguely feline traits I’ve given Murderbot).

A four panel Murderbot Diaries fan comic.

Panel 1: A depiction of ART/Perihelion’s consciousness, represented as a floating black sphere surrounded by criss-crossing blue rings with black and white spheres lining them. Across the main sphere is binary code and ART saying “Hi SecUnit, Miss me?” as it hovers over the humanoid cyborg Murderbot (also known as SecUnit), who is laying on the ground wounded and bleeding. The background is faded binary code.

Panel 2: A close-up of Murderbot’s face, injured and with an expression of intense worry. There are a few lines of red binary code floating above its head.

Panel 3: Still a close-up of Murderbot, but its expression has shifted to one of relief and the binary code is now green.

Panel 4: Murderbot’s expression has shifted to anger as it shouts “Fuck you ART!” ART replies, “Well fuck you too.” The binary code is now gray.

Fun fact, when one of my friends got to the part of Network Effect where it’s revealed that ART died(?), I played along that it was dead for good and then immediately after started drawing this for when she got to the part where ART came back.

Nother fun fact, ART is based partly on an ophanium, those angels that are just wheels/rings with eyes.

Extra bonus fun fact, if you want to see the full binary and translate it, go here. Warning, it is long. So long I had to make a Dropbox account for it.
