The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet: Wayfarers 1

Product Information

Laurian being the first human she met as an adult just felt more weird to her than anything, and she never considered that her feelings toward him might be more than platonic until it was pointed out.

However, her subsequent thoughts on everything she liked about Laurian and how he's "different than a bunkmate" make it pretty obvious that she has fallen in love with him. Kill the Cutie: The only major character death in the story is the consistently sweet and kind Benevolent A. I expanded to care as deeply about them as they plainly care about each other, something Chambers completed with a nimble and significant touch. If it's the only method, as implied by Sidra's description of how her body kit works, then it's a form of perpetual motion and impossible under the laws of thermodynamics.Corrupt Corporate Executive: Quentin Harris, Rosemary's father, who sold gene targeting weapons to both sides of a civil war, even though he was already fabulously rich through a legitimate business. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptilian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running.

When Lovelace uploads herself into a synthetic body, Pepper tells her that she needs to choose a new name (of Earth origin, since the body is Human-based) because, since "Lovelace" is a computer AI program of which other models exist, it won't be too hard for someone to figure out that she's an AI illegally loaded into an android body. This is a fan-wiki for the Wayfarers book series by Becky Chambers, the first of which is The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, followed by its sequels A Closed and Common Orbit, Record of a Spaceborn Few, and The Galaxy, and the Ground Within.Chef, whose real name is The Unpronounceable for other species, chose this nickname for himself because he serves as both medic and cook for the Wayfarer's crew. Pepper, Jenks’ friend who got the body kit, offers the newly reborn Lovey the opportunity to transfer into it and come work for her.
