General Siskin Lia finds herself trapped in a high-rise fortress, unable to leave. Those around her think she's paranoid, but she knows something very dangerous is, indeed, hunting her. That something is her own former employee, weapon, and lover: Sallie Starlinger. When Sallie Starlinger finds the demands of her Core Function at odds with her heart, what will she do? What can she do? Is a killing machine even capable of love? No matter what Sallie does, it's going to leave another big tear in her already tattered psyche. This is the first story from my Transmissions from the Void series of short stories.
