You know that feeling when you’re at work and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot. Come for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable AI you’ll listen to this century.

Sci-fi's favorite antisocial AI is back on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good. Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.

All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah - its former owner (protector? friend?) - submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught?

It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.

Retrouvez Thibaut Delmotte, la voix française de Morty de la série d'animation Rick et Morty, dans la suite des aventures rocambolesques de l'AssaSynth ! "Dans la catégorie androïde, je suis une SecUnit séditieuse. Il y a beau temps que j'ai piraté mon module superviseur et j'ai pris goût au libre arbitre. Cela m'apparente-t-il au genre humain ? Beurk. Sûrement pas. Dans l'ensemble les humains sont des imbéciles répugnants dévorés par leurs émotions." Mais on ne se refait pas. Ou bien si, justement.

When Murderbot discovers a dead 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?). Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans! Again!

Khat, a member of a humanoid race created by the Ancients to survive in the Waste, and Sagai, his human partner, are relic dealers working on the edge of society, trying to stay one step ahead of the Trade Inspectors and to support Sagai's family. When Khat is hired to find relics believed to be part of one of the Ancients' arcane engines, they are both reluctant to become involved. But the request comes from the Warders, powerful mages who serve Charisat's Elector.

Les contrats de travail sur Préservation étaient très simples, principalement parce que le Code civil planétaire prévoyait déjà toute une panoplie de protections inhérentes. Sauf que je ne faisais pas partie des citoyens, pas plus que je n'étais – techniquement – une personne. Néanmoins, le contrat de Pin-Lee, l'avocat du Dr Mensah, veillerait à ce que nul ne me force à agir contre mon gré. (Par le passé, j'avais uniquement été l'objet de contrats de location émis par la compagnie, où je n'étais alors qu'un équipement.)

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly-colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there’s an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can’t have the planet, they’re sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize. But there’s something wrong with Murderbot; it isn’t running within normal operational parameters.

"Je m'énerve quand les humains ne valorisent pas mon travail, mais un excès de reconnaissance me perturbe aussi, c'est à ne rien y comprendre. La conscience, ça craint.". Thibaut Delmotte prête une nouvelle fois son timbre versatile à l'AssaSynth, plus humain que jamais.

Une mission de sauvetage caustique et haletante, portée par Thibaut Delmotte, la voix française de Morty de la série d'animation Rick et Morty. " La majorité de mes voyages ont été stressants, tout compte fait. Plus que du stress, c'était de l'angoisse, cette fois. Fidèle à mes habitudes, j'ai regardé des séries. J'avais déniché un long drame historique narrant les premiers temps de l'exploration spatiale. Mais malgré les informations très convaincantes fournies en barres latérales, j'avais un peu de mal à y croire. J'ai arrêté au milieu du deuxième épisode et basculé sur une comédie musicale. "

La SecUnit en cavale reprend du service pour un troisième opus. Une novella caustique et haletante, portée par Thibaut Delmotte, la voix française de Morty de la série d'animation Rick et Morty. "Je n'ai vraiment pas de bol avec les transports autopilotés. Le premier à me prendre en stop n'avait eu d'autre motivation que celle de profiter de ma collection de fichiers multimédias.

La suite des aventures de la SecUnit accro aux séries dans un second opus renversant ! " Les SecUnits se moquent pas mal des actualités. Même après avoir piraté mon module superviseur et débloqué mes accès, je n'y ai jamais prêté grande attention. D'abord, parce que les téléchargements de contenu multimédia risquent moins de déclencher les alarmes éventuelles des réseaux locaux et satellitaires, mais surtout, parce que les informations sont d'un ennui mortel et que je me fiche éperdument des querelles entre humains tant que je n'ai pas 1) à y mettre un terme, 2) à nettoyer après eux. "

La première novella de la série SF déjà culte et multirécompensée de Martha Wells. " J'aurais pu faire un carnage dès l'instant où j'ai piraté mon module superviseur ; en tout cas, si je n'avais pas découvert un accès au bouquet de chaînes de divertissement relayées par les satellites de la compagnie. 35 000 heures plus tard, aucun meurtre à signaler, mais, à vue de nez, un peu moins de 35 000 heures de films, de séries, de lectures, de jeux et de musique consommés. Comme impitoyable machine à tuer, on peut difficilement faire pire. "

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