TIME OUT

Anyone looking at the Great Cygnus Loop for the first, second or even the twentieth time could not fail to be impressed.Anyone looking a bit closer could not fail to see a little black hole.Then they would go away, as far away as possible.And anyone wondering if there was something else out there, something that could 'eat' two perfectly good spaceships and their crews, would be perfectly correct.And anyone thinking that The Company boss, a confused girl, an overconfident pilot, a master of time and a couple of particularly clever robots could find out what happened, would be wrong.And everyone should be advised: Do not call them robots... and do not annoy the dragons.

Easy Boise will be born in 2075. She will graduate from the Human Resources Facility (1) in 2093 as a bit of a failure.That year she will produce a rather clever and quite good looking (and almost sentient) holo-projection that some misguided people just might call a 'robot'.That same year she will create two large and extremely protective dragons which most people will not have time to call anything at all because they will be running away as fast as possible.In the same year, apart from several other things, she will be tried for the murder of three people and two 'robots'.She will be found guilty.Which is where the dragons come in. (Or in this case, out).Which is when the shooting starts.It will be a busy year.
