Zhi’s the robot pilot who conned Kas into betting money she doesn’t have. Unfortunately, she’s just been conned into wagering money she doesn’t have – money from her university’s funds – on the outcome of a fight between crewed robot prizefighters. Kas is passionate about Earth antiquities. ![]() What she doesn’t realise at first is that she’s supposed to do the work and her higher-status (and fairly mannerless) colleague is supposed to get the credit to burnish her career. Kas is a young scholar who’s come to Earth as part of a research team. It sets itself in a far-future where Earth is a relatively lawless backwater in a human society that has colonised the stars – and replicated inherited class hierarchies there as well.
