Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4)

The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.

By tricky I meant I was getting an average of an 85 percent chance of failure and death, and it was only that low because my last diagnostic said my risk assessment module was wonky. (I know, that explains a lot about me.)

It wasn’t a terrible plan. It probably wasn’t even in the top ten of terrible plans.

Disinformation, which is the same as lying but for some reason has a different name, is the top tactic in corporate negotiation/warfare.
