I, Starship
As a Marine, Henry Morgan would have said it was more likely he’d die from enemy fire than from being struck by a flying lawnmower while at a baseball game.

But it was the lawnmower that ended up taking him out.

A century later, Henry wakes up as a reconstituted intelligence, and is promptly drafted to be the governing AI for America’s first military starship. After decades of model-trained AIs wreaking havoc across the globe, humanity is ready to try something a little more…human.

Henry is perfect. For one thing, as a reconstituted intelligence, he has no rights and can be forced to do the bidding of the powers that be. For another, he’s the only Heritage Mind with any military experience that survived the Great Power Surge of 2072.

So, Henry’s it.

Blastoff, good Henry! Our hopes and dreams go with you. Oh, and while you’re at it, could you take a look at the aliens setting up shop in our asteroid belt? They seem to be…multiplying.

Tin Can Combat
When Sergeant Henry Morgan died and awoke a century later as the 'governing AI' for a starship...
...he didn't expect this.

A darkness is spreading across the stars - and not just any darkness. This is a hyper-advanced, cancerous darkness named Corthaur, who was originally thought to be a pretty okay guy.
He is not an okay guy.
As the governing mind of humanity's first interstellar military starship, Henry just wants to help.
But so much stands in his way.

There's his AI-hating captain, for starters, who has severely limited the functions Henry can access.
There's Corthaur, obviously, threatening to annihilate all life because he's just that bitter.
And then there's the fact that a single star system stands in the way of Earth and total destruction.
A system that's about to fall under brutal attack.
The same system, as it happens, that Henry and his crew are about to show up in.
