Lina Thompson is an independent advisor who works with the Goverment on behind-the-scenes operations. Her speciality is sociology, but the latest project she gets involved with has apparently more to do with her hobbies: gaming and wild theories about aliens. Can she survive and thrive in an alien environment that turns back experienced military survivalists? Can she make first contact in this new world where data and flesh seems to be the same thing? And if she can, is it possible for her to live in the human society afterwards?
