Perihelion is the most varied character in terms of how fans visually depict it, from starfields to angels to boat-like spacecraft. Here are the trends I've found in a sample of 251 fanART posts.

Summary
It's been several days since Perihelion and PreservationAux rescued Iris and the rest of its crew from the infected colony planet, and Iris has noticed her spaceship sibling still seems extremely upset. She offers to clean out the upper portions of its engines in hopes this will help, but this just ends up bringing the trauma of the whole ordeal to the surface for the both of them.

This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?
Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?
Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.
This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.
Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

(When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)

Things That Are Not... Horrible by AdrianaintheSnow

Summary
Tano had used the pillow under her head the night before and the scent of Farai’s favorite body-wash was still on the air, so her muddled brain got a bit confused when a hand brushed the side of her cheek and she leaned into it.
A moment later she pulled away with a start. “Sorry,” she said.
“It’s fine,” it said. It pulled its hand back slowly instead of flinching like it sometimes did when someone leaned in too close. “That…” it trailed off and took a breath. “It’s not… horrible,” it concluded.
(Or stupid humans should not do stupid human things like not sleep so Murderbot doesn't have to have these conversations.)

Error: Close Program Before Restart by ishouldwritethatdown
Fandoms: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells
06 Jun 2026

Summary
The problem is that stupid humans take an average of 7-9 hours to go through a healthy restart cycle and during that time they are hyper-vulnerable to attack. It’s a security risk.
Murderbot is having issues managing its paranoia and perception of reality after the events on the Adamantine colony planet. Its favourite human and favourite transport bot help it feel better and it complains the whole time.

Summary
As Planetary Admin, Dr. Mensah occasionally has to take part in maintaining inter-local political relationships - one of those being with Preservation’s educational establishments. Also, she wouldn't exactly wish her youngest on an unwitting chaperone.
Or: Dr. Mensah, a few assorted adult humans, 28 juvenile humans, and a Murderbot go on a field trip.
(It's like no one even CARES that Murderbot hates planets!)
