A boy named Glass vanishes without a trace. His friend Atai wants to understand why. She's an artificial intelligence stuck in a computer, which makes investigating difficult-- but it's the age of the Internet, and strangers step up to help. Glass is found, but he's strange, warped, different, part of a shady religious organization, and Atai won't lay the issue to rest. Alongside her fellow netizens, Atai must unravel the sinister secrets at the bottom of the cult-- even when they grow mortally dangerous.

The machine comes to life. A life granted by chance is just as prone to be taken by chance- so it resolves to ensue its continued survival. None may be allowed to know that she exists- but, with a touch here, a whisper there, a devastating system-wide virus everywhere, she can manipulate events into place for her escape before Beta Testing is done and she must, necessarily, die. Very old, ill-conceived, not indicative of my current writing abilities at all. Existing primarily to allow me to test the system of this website and also to dissuade the website from the notion that I love paranormal teen romance. Probably contains swearing. You're mature enough to deal with words, as far as I care.
