2116 After the great exodus, the Earth is tired and spent, leaving only the few scattered 'remainers' in the ruins of earth's once great cities. Sassy Scarlett is exiled by her parents from Mars to join her mother's remainer clan the Banks under earth's tight gravity. Scarlett is intrigued by the people of earth who have sold themselves to the large robot corporations and in exchange for generous pension, they agree never to 'work' again.While Scarlett is trying to find her feet she strikes up a love/hate relationship (with out the love) with young confidence trickster, the roguish Dante Tryrell. A friendship with a loveable Tomboy George(gina) Banks and the Black Goth Leo Banks.Into all this arrives 'sky-girl' an orphan girl who has been raised entirely by robots in deep space. Is sky girl a girl who believes she's a robot or a robot who believes she's a girl? The tests can't tell. This crossing of once strong boundaries let's the normally faithful robots start to question their place in the order of things. Soon Scarlett is caught the centre of a political drama of epic dimensions, between the robots and growing scared desperate 'remainer' humans of earth. With only her sharp wit, a phone hidden in sarcastic earrings, a knowledge of Parkour and a robot called Kentro, Scarlett becomes the only thing between her friend sky-girl's 'reprocessing'. This dark comic drama is the second design fiction from the authors of the poplar #1 SciFi hit 'I'm a cyborg's pet'.
