Rogue Protocol

Rogue Protocol (2018) Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries)

MURDERBOT!

Murderbot is still trying to figure out what happened with GrayCis corporation their teams tried to kill the group Murderbot was working for. So off Murderbot goes to look for evidence.

Purely for selfish reasons, of course.

If Dr. Mensah had proof of that, the investigation against GrayCris would get a lot more interesting. Maybe so interesting that the journalists would forget all about that stray SecUnit. And then Dr. Mensah wouldn’t be needed on Port FreeCommerce and she could go back to Preservation where it was safe and I could stop worrying about her.

Murderbot sneaks aboard a shuttle to try and figure out what GrayCris had been doing, and although the expected answer was: nothing good. Luckily, humans are often stupid.

Somebody had thought to order them to dump their logs (which would void their warranties, but I guess since the facility was supposed to fall into the planet, nobody had cared). Unfortunately for that somebody, the diggers had dumped their logs into their buffers and then been shut down before the buffers timed out and deleted.

I am trying to decide if I can hold off reading the next book, or if I need to read it RIGHT NOW.
