Once, Lovelace had eyes and ears everywhere. She was a ship's artificial intelligence system - possessing a personality and very human emotions. But when her ship was badly damaged, Lovelace was forced to reboot and reset. Now housed in an illegal synthetic body, she's never felt so isolated. But Lovelace is not alone. Pepper, an engineer who risked her life to reinstall Lovelace's program, has remained by her side and is determined to help her.

Entspannte Unterhaltung

Dieser Teil führt Peppers Biographie und Loveys Schicksal in zwei Handlungssträngen zusammen. Die Sprache ist recht einfach und wenig geschliffen. Es ist streckenweise spannend. Der Fokus liegt klar auf "zwischenwesenlichen" (zwischenmenschlich pass ja nicht!) Beziehungen, eingebettet in ein SciFi-Setting.
