Fugitive Telemetry (The Murderbot Diaries, #6)

by Martha Wells

Humans do the “make it a question so it doesn’t sound so bad” thing and it still sounds bad.

I told her, They don’t want me. (Hey, I don’t want me, either, but I’m stuck with me.)

(Humans touch stuff all the time, I wish they wouldn’t.)

I just realized I don’t like the phrase “as far as I knew” because it implies how much you actually don’t know. I’m not going to stop using it, but. I don’t like it as much anymore.

(Yeah, good luck with that. Trying to get humans not to touch dangerous things was a full-time job.)

I’m not a bot, I’m not a human, so I don’t fit into any neat category.

There was a lot I didn’t know for sure. I am going to have to stop scaring the shit out of myself.

(nobody wants to be locked in a ship with an annoyed SecUnit) (nobody)

Good luck. I understand why humans say that, but luck sucks.
