Cal is a Liberteen and he's hardwired.

Besides him, he's aware of three others - Dil, Erle and Andrena - his friends, yeah? But they are most definitely legion. No question. In mists divine - that’s where you’ll find them, sparking about – it’s the most glorious, trackless bewilderness imaginable. Delight, fear, chaos and wonder. That’s what it is. And when you've been there it’s…it's so pure and instant and always and beautiful and everything all at once. Enlightenment and release and love and God and happiness all down the one wire. You know, The Answer. Everything worth knowing.

It’s not a game. Everyone knows that.

Only why does Andrena, his only darling, have to be such a pain all the time? Why is that?
