The Executives control Oichi's senses, her voice, her life. Until the day they kill her. An executive clan gives the order to shoot Oichi out of an airlock on suspicion of being an insurgent. A sentient AI, a Medusa unit, rescues Oichi and begins to teach her the truth--the Executives are not who they think they are. Oichi, officially dead and now bonded to the Medusa unit, sees a chance to make a better life for everyone on board. As she sets things right one assassination at a time, Oichi becomes the very insurgent the Executives feared, and in the process uncovers the shocking truth behind the generation starship that is their home.

Who killed the second generation ship?

First there were two generation ships. Then somebody blew up Titania, leaving Olympia to continue the journey alone.

Oichi survived by accident - she couldn't get her preferred job a a scientist on Titania due to class-based discrimination, so she emigrated to Olympia. Fortunately she has implants given to her by her father before he died. She thinks they just provide her access to her father's immense music library, but they do so much more, including opening her up to communication with mysterious non-human intelligences. Then again, is she even human...?

A compelling space adventure with distinct noir mystery tones.
