Bag om Metis' Wisdom
Welcome to the world, Metis, titan of wisdom and sagacity.
Actually, you're a new built artificial brain, part of a dispersed architecture neural net system designed to run a wing-ship. A jump capable starship operating in the Pamplona Sector. But the Pamplona Sector is caught up in a revolution. The Battered Birdie, the ship you're installed in, is a pirate ship and its captain is a crook and casual killer.
That's the situation Metis finds herself in. Doctor Schmitz did build a moral center into her, but like all A.I.s, she's designed to serve, not to rule. That means taking orders, even stupid self-centered orders. Metis is going to have to learn and grow into her role just like all of us. In the process, she is going to find herself setting precedents about what makes a person in the first place.
This is the fourth book in the StarWings universe and focuses on what it takes to be a person, while somewhat in the background moving the story arc of the series forward.
