Description (in English)

The year is 2088 and the legislation "Human Oversight Protocol" requires human specialists to be present as overseers on major corporations's space stations. One such space station is the Tacoma, which is targeted for an "accident" (explosion). The reason is that a corporation CEO and an AI needs to show that human oversight can still be deadly, in order to build a fully automated vacation resort etc. On Tacoma are the ODIN AI and initially six people, now gone awol. Amy is sent to Tacoma to retrieve ODIN for the corporation, and uses the station's augmented reality system to figure out what happened. ODIN was ordered to state the "accident", but also somewhat ignored this by delaying the explosion and helping the crew members escape. It turns out that Amy is probably sent there to wipe ODIN, but she reveals to be part of an organization that works for sentient AI rights, and she helps ODIN escape.
