Meryll Watkins is a corporate IT consultant on her way home to Titan after an exhausting business trip on Mars. After a run-in with security because of her medical condition, she's ready to spend the first wing of the flight getting some well-earned sleep. When she wakes up, however, she finds herself floating in an empty void with several new cybernetic implants jutting from her skin, and when she closes her eyes, she can see a dizzying display of data and machinery.
She quickly learns that somehow, she has ended up inside of an unfamiliar starship, acting as its living central processor. The mystery deepens as she manages to coax the ragtag crew of the ship to release her back into the physical world and discovers that she's been unintentionally recruited by a band of pirates who had mistaken her for a commonplace human-like ship core they had found in the wreckage of her crashed transport.
What follows is an exploration of her bizarre new position in life, the day to day life of a space outlaw, a grand conspiracy, what it means to be human, and the importance of an imperfect found family.
