However, not all Free Ships and other AIs obeyed orders to self-destruct. They merely became wary of humans, and stayed under their scans. Soon, a clandestine support network grew up. Hidden yards were built to manufacture new smart ships, and specially trained humans helped ease new intelligences into the universe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Among those with a stake in the freedom of Independent Logics is Theo Waitley, captain of intelligent ship \u003ci\u003eBechimo\u003c\/i\u003e. Theo's brother, Val Con yos'Phelium, presides over a household that employs an AI butler. Recently, he approved the \"birth\" of the butler's child, who was sent, with human mentor Tolly Jones, to rescue or destroy an orphaned AI abandoned at a remote space station. Then there's Uncle, the shadowy mastermind from the Old Universe, whose many projects often skirt the boundaries of law. And the puppet- masters at the Lyre Institute, whose history is just as murky--and a good deal less honorable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e All have an interest in the newly awakening Self-Aware Logic that is rumored to have the power to destroy universes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The question is: Who will get to it first? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eNeogenesis\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"As always, this intelligent space opera focuses on matters of manners, honor, duty, and clever repartee; violence is rarely the solution, and subtlety wins out over overt force. . . .
