Prologue: Orphaned

Half a year after her fifth birthday, Anthea Edwards loses her widowed mother Indy to a gunman in a restaurant robbery in Sacramento, California. As a result, she is left orphaned due to having lost her father Marcel when she was a year and three months old. Therefore, she leaves behind her hometown after the funeral four days after this and travels on a train with all of her belongings to Detroit, Michigan. There, she gets help with getting the boxes off the train and is driven to the home of her maternal grandparents Nolan & Emery Silvers, both of whom take her in shortly after learning of Indy's death. Twelve years later, Anthea, now seventeen and a half, sees five kind robots battling a evil robot whilst out on a morning walk and is later told she was found in a escape pod by her parents four and a half years after they married. Three days after this, Anthea finally reveals why she chose to relocate to go live with her late mother's parents instead of her late father's family.
