Captain Jonathan Smith is the test pilot for a top secret stealth recon spaceship. Jack's thrilled to be able to fly this prototype corvette using only thought. It's the first Human ship to use a brain computer interface and offers the first real chance of defeating the Dragons.

Jack's life is turned up side down when finds out the Project Manager has cancelled his ship's funding, since the only other volunteer to interface is Dr. Rita Russo, the creator of the BCI. What's worse is that Rita is permanently connected to the ship. She hoped to see the stars, but now will be moved to a research facility to stare at an industrial ceiling for rest of her life. That is, if moving her doesn't kill her. Jack is determined to save Rita and get the ship's funding reinstated.

Jack has fought Dragons hand to claw, but is unprepared for his battle against the bureaucracy. How far will Jack go to save Rita?
