Synopsis[]

Now that the Grandmother computer no longer rules Japan, the orbiting nation is split between the ruling Humanist party, and the Healers, who want to restore computer control. When the Healers attempt to steal a component from the Skull-dome control center, Rai and Kazuyo find themselves forced to battle a deadly Grandmother drone! But the terrible fight is only a diversion, designed to hide the Healers' true objective.^[1]

Japan floats in space. I float in Japan. Which of us is more alone?

-- Rai

Rai? Young spirit, why do you deny me? -- Naughty boy. You'll have to be punished! -- Don't run from me, Rai. Let's be friends. -- Be still, young spirit. Let Granny hug you. -- Why do you run, Rai? Don't you want the world to be like it was? -- Poor Rai. You're so confused. Come. Let Grandmother make it better. -- So much has happened. So many have been hurt. But Grandmother is here now. -- And you know Grandmother would never hurt anyone.

-- Corrupted Grandmother
