I treat these elements as harm, without sensationalism.A pair of humans was brought along in case the AI failed. The AI was brought along because humans were failed. What would you do in a society where you are disposable, grown under carefully controlled conditions to have a single purpose To Have a Purpose introduces a dystopian future where the Vict Family, the victor victims, are the only people in America who have freedom. Follow the story of Jenna, a lab-grown human, the lowest of the low, existing for only one reason: as backup on an intergalactic mining mission in case the AI found an unexpected biological hazard. This is the personal story of a woman denied everything except the purpose guiding her design and creation. As a lab-grown human, she is denied everything, including a last name. Even the aidroid assigned to her is a glorified observer meant to keep her sane, trained and loyal, yet he is her only friend, a friend who could turn on her at a moment's notice if she showed the slightest hint of disloyalty to the Victs. Intentionally raised to be paranoid, Jenna must survive not only the strict surveillance state that America has become, the equally broken Captain Fred and the strange anomalies encountered on a lush green alien world that is nothing like the decaying Earth.
