"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."

As a result of a corporate-dominated future spacefaring industry, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. For their own safety, exploration teams are accompanied by security androids supplied by the Company.

But safety isn't seen as a priority in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder.

Researchers are conducting surface tests on a distant planet, accompanied by a self-aware ‘droid provided by the company - a SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as 'Murderbot'. Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone for long enough to figure out who it is.

When a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
