Why this must be read:

I really love the concept of the story, and the execution. It manages to cast an intriguing light on canon. What struck me the most though was the amount of characterization [livejournal.com profile] cupidsbow managed to give a character that is barely acknowledged in canon. A truly chilling piece of science fiction.


Mainframe's makers built/grew/programmed her on a planet far from Earth, in every meaningful dimension: spatially, temporally, psychologically. Objectively speaking, her makers were hate-mongers. (She has heard some argue that all humans are too, but she has little patience with such illogical assertions.)

Mainframe considers herself a political refugee.
