On Murderbot Season 1 Episode 8, “Foreign Object”
Written by Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz and directed by Aurora Guerrero
Murderbot and the team head back to the habitat to take care of an injured Gurathin. While there, they find footage of advanced SecUnits and people from a group called GrayCris, another mining team. This team wants to meet with Dr. Mensah and her team to discuss survival and dealing with the situation in a nonviolent way. The team deduces GrayCris must be there to extract alien remnants from the planet.
While Bharadwaj performs surgery on Gurathin, Murderbot plugs into him to manage his pain, but Gurathin is able to see flashbacks from a time when Murderbot killed 57 people. Murderbot is not sure how much of that information they can trust, and wants the team to test him. It goes off on its own before returning, stating it has a plan for how to deal with GrayCris.
- What’s up with GrayCris?
- What is Murderbot’s plan?
- Resonances with Sanctuary Moon
