A digital illustration depicting Murderbot and Dr Mensah sitting under a festively decorated tree, while several glowing holographic screens float above them. Murderbot is a tall person with medium brown skin and dark unruly hair, wearing a dark blue hoodie, loose dark blue pants and combat boots. It looks at the screens, smiling slightly. Dr Mensah is a middle age woman with brown skin and short curly light brown hair. She is dressed in a simple tunic and pants and is wearing some jewellery. Her eyes are closed and she’s smiling. A small drone floats next to her head. The floating screens depict: 1. A drone view of Dr Ratthi, Dr Gurathin and Pin-Lee looking up at the camera and smiling. Ratthi has a flower in his hair, and Gurathin is wearing a flower necklace. Ratthi is waving, while Pin-Lee is showing a rude gesture. This screen is labeled "warning: high risk". 2. A drone view of Dr Bharadwaj and Dr Volescu talking. Bharadwaj is holding purchased fabrics, while Volescu has a big mug in his hands. 3. A drone view of Amena in front of a food stall. This screen is labeled "priority 00". 4. A drone view of Dr Arada and Overse, sitting on a blanket and embracing. 5. A media feed showing a fantasy character – a one-eyed robot wearing robes, a hat and a scarf and holding a staff. This is a cameo of Kungsljus’s RPG character. This screen is labeled "new_stuff_for_art.file". 6. Two snippets of code (one in binary). 7. And of course an episode of Sanctuary Moon. The tree is decorated with flower chains and festival lanterns.ALT

A piece I did for 2025 Murderbot Diaries New Year Gift Exchange (@mbd-gift-exchange) for @kungsljus. They requested holiday convention stuff inspired by the celebration in Network Effect (but with Murderbot having a good time) or Murderbot enjoying nature with anyone out of its friend client group. So here it is, celebrating and being involved in its own way.

The wizard robot in the upper right media corner is Kungsljus’s D&D OC.

The picture was originally in monochrome because of the deadline, so I’m adding it here too.

Best viewed in browser, the details may get lost otherwise.

Also on AO3.

Enjoy!
