Today's story takes us back to the AI Universe immediately following the events of "Unauthorized Call."

While those who have read the AI series up until this point will have a deeper understanding of what is going on, the flash fiction is written from the point-of-view of a character who doesn't know what is going on. So, no prior knowledge is needed at all to understand the fic.
