Fugitive Telemetry
Book 6 of the The Murderbot Diaries series
A human corpse appears on Preservation Station, and Murderbot must help station security identify the victim and reconstruct a crime committed inside a heavily monitored habitat. Its uneasy partnership with Senior Indah turns the investigation into a test of whether an openly autonomous SecUnit can earn professional trust. Missing surveillance, refugee traffic, and station bots widen what first appears to be a contained murder mystery. Wry and compact, this chronologically pre-Network Effect novella suits readers who enjoy locked-station mysteries, procedural detection, suspicious security officers, and a protagonist who would rather face killers than discuss feelings.
