Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5)

(I know, it’s a logo, but I hate it when humans and augmented humans ruin things for no reason. Maybe because I was a thing before I was a person and if I’m not careful I could be a thing again.)

Before I could, Overse caught up with me and asked, “Are you all right?” I was absolutely great. It wasn’t like this situation needed to get any more emotionally fraught, or anything.

Overse added, “Just remember you’re not alone here.” I never know what to say to that. I am actually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.

It’s a good thing I don’t have a full human digestive system because I was so startled something would have popped out of it involuntarily.

2.0 said, I know violence isn’t the solution to everything, but in this case … In this case, yeah.
