Fugitive Telemetry finally does what I have always suspected would be hilarious and puts Murderbot as an unwilling participant in a buddy cop show. Though not quite as compelling as the original novellas, Murderbot's time as a detective is whimsical and hilarious. Its continuous attempts to navigate its personhood and relationship to the citizens of Preservation receive yet more nuance. It is a very solid installment in the series and one I enjoyed immensely.
