My husband and I are having a discussion and weβre hoping you can help @marthawells.com : if ART and Gurathin met, would ART take a shine to Gurathin (to mess with Murderbot because itβs kind of a troll and thatβs how it rolls) or would ART mess with Gurathin to make Murderbot happy (because yeah).

Since the show is (likely) gonna diverge a bit from the books, that means thereβs a chance I might one day get to see ART and Gurathin finally interact lmao yesss the dream #Murderbot
