System Collapse
Extended Synopsis
Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships and additional SecUnits to a newly-colonized planet in peril. But if there’s an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it. If Barish-Estranza can’t secure the planet, they are determined to leave with something—and an entire colony of humans makes a convenient free workforce.
There's just one major problem: Murderbot isn't running within normal operational parameters. With ART's crew and the humans from Preservation doing everything they can to protect the colonists against Barish-Estranza’s SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, Murderbot has to figure out what’s wrong with itself, and fast, before this catastrophic plan falls completely apart.
