Auf der Asteria, einem Siedlerschiff der exodanischen Flotte, ist für jeden gesorgt: Alle haben eine Wohnung, alle haben zu essen, alle haben einen Job – und leisten noch im Tod einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft.

Als KI-System der Wayfarer bekam sie alles mit, was auf ihrem Raumschiff passierte, und sie sorgte für das Wohlbefinden der Crew, für die Lovelace immer mehr eine Freundin war als nur ein System. Dann kam der totale Systemausfall. Ihre Crew sah nur eine Möglichkeit, Lovelace zu retten: ein Reboot all ihrer Systeme. Als sie aufwacht, ist sie in einem Bodykit gefangen, eingeschränkt auf modifizierte menschliche Körperfunktionen – in einer Gesellschaft, in der eine solche Umwandlung verboten ist.
