this time there was also a murder mystery which was fun!
i liked it, as in it was perfectly fine and a very comfy read!
however it wasn't the best nor the most exciting one of the diaries.

When SecUnit is called in to help investigate the untimely demise of a "dead human" (can you just refer to "the victim"?!) it first has to figure out if this person had any connection to the GrayCris corporates who have been threatening his human companion, Mensah. Although SecUnit has only been given limited permissions to access security systems on the station, it has been offered payment for its services and it now has to figure out a locked room mystery in which a corpse has been moved from a murder scene without anyone being caught by the security sensors.
I actually found this a little more fun than the previous book, probably because the pace is easy and there isn't a lot of combat. In fact, when it looks like we might be winding up for a huge fight-scene it THANKFULLY doesn't eventuate. I always feel like going to sleep when we get into blow by blow battles.

I know a “fuck off” when I hear one. So I fucked off.
The annoyance and sarcasm was palpable in this one. It was so fun to see Murderbot from this angle, kind of "fuck it, I'll just do it" energy. Murderbot really transformed into a detective, going on clue hunts with its restricted access (I can't imagine keeping the promise to not hack when needed, but more power to you). Murderbot had to be clever and get information the "right" way... Murderbot did get to to show off ;)
Senior Indah (head of Preservation Station Security) and everyone else was super skeptical and untrusting. I kept alternating between pissed and sad - the way Murderbot was treated was just not it, BUT it did get better by the end. Everyone got me banging my head on a table while Murderbot had to deal with human stupidity. One exception will be Gurathin and Ratthi who became Murderbot's little sidekicks.
All I wanted to do was watch media and not exist.
