| Plot Summary of Solis |
|---|
""Mr. Charlie" opts for cryonic suspension of his head at death in the hopes of seeing Mars when he is 're-animated' sometime in the future. His brain is eventually sold on the black market and used by "lewdists" to illegaly generate fantasies for them. He is then being used as a control center for a mining operation and is threatened with being disassembled and parceled off as 'wetware'. An AI-droid gets a radio signal from him which inspires a CP or contra-parameter program that the highly evolved Mott have given him which makes him feel compassion. He convinces a 'jumper' to join him in the rescue hoping to eventually find refuge on Solis (Mars). "
