System Collapse (The Murderbot Diaries, #7)

by Martha Wells

I had fifty-seven unique sources of concern/anxiety, speaking of checking in with my emotions, but nothing I could do anything about right now.

Yeah, I’ll just code a patch to stop feeling anxiety, wow, why didn’t I think of that earlier. (That was sarcasm, I have too much organic neural tissue for that to work.) (Of course I’ve already tried it.)

It sounded sweary with religious overtones.

Wow, you don’t think it can get any worse, and it always does.

Whatever, I didn’t come here to make friends.

(I called it the panic module because that was the only time I looked at it)
