The adventures of Murderbot continue in the fifth and sixth novellas, collected in paperback for the first time!

"No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall."

In Fugitive Telemetry, when Murderbot discovers a body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people--who knew?)

System Collapse follows the events of Network Effect, where Murderbot, ART, and the humans from Preservation are work to protect a human colony from being abducted by the Barish-Estranza Corporation. But with Barish-Estranza's SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, they're going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what's wrong with itself, and fast!

This is a somewhat confusing bundling of two murderbots, partly because the preceding admittedly much longer story was sandwiched between two such bundles, and the first of these two stories takes place before the previous story, so the murderbot mystery is how to read these in a continuity-preserving sequence. Actually, the first of these two stories is a Murderbot Mystery, so it's almost like being interrupted by a murderbot Christmas special. I enjoyed it, but the second story felt like we're getting back to our regular programming with a longer story (could have been issued by itself really at over two hundred pages) and correspondingly more emotional payoff, and more ART (everyone loves ART).
