Exit Strategy The Murderbot Diaries 4 A Novel by Martha Wells Quotes

  1. This is why humans shouldn’t do their security.

  2. For one thing, the shows and serials were trying to communicate accurately with the viewer. As far as I could tell, real humans usually didn’t know what the hell they were doing.

  3. I don’t like planets. There’s dust and weather, and something always wants to eat the humans.

  4. I hate having emotions about real humans instead of fake ones, it just leads to stupid moments like this.

  5. The bad thing about having emotions is, you know, OH SHIT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME

  6. It was very dramatic, like something out of a historical adventure serial. Also correct in every aspect except for all the facts, like something out of a historical adventure serial.

  7. It would have been hilarious if I wasn’t about to die. It was still a little hilarious.

  8. Possibly I was overthinking this. I do that; it’s the anxiety that comes with being a part-organic murderbot. The upside was paranoid attention to detail. The downside was also paranoid attention to detail.

Summary of Chapter 1:

In this section, Murderbot continues to confront the consequences of past occurrences. It sneaks onto a transport vessel, masquerading as a security consultant named “Rin.” During the journey, it deals with small disputes among the passengers, despite feeling bitter about the task. The vessel is heading towards the abandoned Milu station, believed to be linked to GrayCris’ illegal activities. Murderbot is scheming to collect proof against GrayCris to reveal their corporate wrongdoings. This establishes the main confrontation for the upcoming task.

Summary of Chapter 2:

Murderbot reaches its destination and silently leaves the transport, proceeding to the facility unnoticed. It hacks multiple systems to elude detection and strategize its next move, aiming to reach the Milu terraforming facility. The station is largely unoccupied, which simplifies navigation but also heightens the sense of isolation. Murderbot discovers information indicating that GrayCris may have agents nearby, leading to increased vigilance. The goal is to collect proof to finally take down the unethical company.

Summary of Chapter 3:

While continuing its infiltration, Murderbot begins collecting information on the station’s current conditions and activities happening inside. It grows more cautious of possible risks, from GrayCris agents and other unseen hazards. During its journey, it meets Miki, a robot who is much more innocent and is torn between its skeptical perspective and Miki’s hopeful opinion of humans.

Miki’s helpful and innocent demeanor fosters a dynamic connection between them. As Murderbot considers the dangers of exposing its real identity, the mission becomes more complicated.

Summary of Chapter 4:

Murderbot and Miki join forces to investigate the Milu station, where they discover important details about GrayCris’s illegal activities. Despite its humble appearance, Miki demonstrates its worth by assisting in maneuvering through the facility’s systems. Meanwhile, Murderbot persists in struggling with its internal dilemmas – whether to remain isolated or trust its new companions. As GrayCris’s security forces start to notice them, the team speeds up their investigation, causing the tension to rise.

Summary of Chapter 5:

Murderbot is at risk of being discovered as GrayCris operatives escalate their mission to find and neutralize all potential dangers. The situation becomes more intense as Murderbot hacks the station’s security systems to collect undeniable proof. While going through this procedure, it reveals disturbing revelations about GrayCris’s increased participation in unlawful actions, potentially leading to disastrous outcomes for other planets and populations. At the same time, Murderbot’s bond with Miki becomes stronger, even though it continues to be cautious about revealing its emotions.

Summary of Chapter 6:

Murderbot confronts a GrayCris SecUnit in a tense face-off. Utilizing its abilities and strategic benefits, it narrowly avoids injury.
