Author's Note

This is the story of Rei Moors, one of the few humans on Erravi Station 5, in the year 2209. She's a musically talented teenager who rules the roost, (at least in the station's marketplace) and is well known for being a firm, stubborn young woman with good leadership skills and a wicked sense of humor. One day when attempting to make one of her biggest deals of the season, a virus pops up on her holo-screen... unable to clear it, she looses her customer. In a fit of rage, she dumps her computer system on her techie friend, brusquely requesting that he remove the virus. As he works out the various kinks in her computer system, he explains the virus to her - that it's called the "Good News" virus, and it was becoming more and more common. A few brave souls, he says, are actually tapping on it to see what it does. It may refuse to go away until you tap on it or clear it from your system, but it's actually harmless. Unconvinced, Rei retrieves her repaired computer system and storms off to her living quarters, pondering what her friend had said. Little did she know that virus, pesky as it seemed, was about to change her entire world.
