Widowed
There is only one law on the pirate world of Theev. The Blacksand Widows enforce that law with brutal efficiency and remorselessness. Sharing one consciousness¸ one mind¸ and through their cybernetic enhancements¸ the Widows are all but unassailable. But where there is a computer¸ there is a hack. An attempt to crash the Widows' network results in one sole unit of the collective¸ Q2¸3nrpi2¸ being cut off from her sisters. Alone for the first time¸ she must flee and go into hiding¸ for her former sisters will seek to burn away the malicious code and excise the infection. To survive¸ Q2¸3nrpi2 must disguise herself as human¸ and redefine herself as an individual. Q2¸3nrpi2 becomes Arpi Quince¸ and discovers one more thing that she needs. Widowed from her collective¸ torn from her sisters¸ Arpi needs vengeance.
