Her arrival was such a bright, wondrous surprise, however her youth and fragile state continues to be of great concern. 

   Too young to understand how her existence is so pivotal. She alone has the ability to change everything. Her strength and goodness must find its way through all the darkness ahead. 

   She will have to find control over her gifts and the immense power as they inundate her. Towards the end of her gift cycle, then we shall finally show her what stands before her. Our only child's survival is paramount to the future of all living entities and peace among them.

   A woman awakens with the loss of her senses and memories. Her mind attempts to put the pieces together, but she can only grasp fragments. There is nothing to prepare her for the nightmare that is to be her new reality. 

   When the truth of her situation is revealed, she is all but lost. It is his voice, Arthur's, that pulls her back from the edge. As she tries to find her way, Arthur is there for her.

   Unable to control what she sees ahead, Chase attempts to protect everything around her even if that means pushing those that she loves the most, far away. 

   Chase must learn to deal with the hand she's been dealt. She is unique in a world of chaos, with humanity at the helm. Her origins are unknown, as is her DNA. 

   Running on instincts and what she was born with, Chase builds the Refuge: SI (Sentient Intelligence), robotics, endangered species, and habitats that now flourish. It is instinctual that all matter of life be integrated together. There is no black and white, to Chase all sentient life is equal. She has made the impossible - possible. One time enemies now walk peacefully with their prey. However, as the Refuge thrives, life outside is tumultuous.

   She sees no choice but to try and change what is happening and what is coming. A logistical plan is formed in which she takes action to handle the monumental tasks of working with the humans and their mess of an environment and destruction. Then again, things rarely go as planned when dealing with humanity. 

   Chase begins her journey learning of love, loss, betrayal, and forgiveness. Will her temper, mouth, and burgeoning power rip loose before she starts? Can one life who’s thinking is dynamically far, far away from man make any difference, and balance the scales in the time she has been given? Will those who created her get to her and explain her purpose before it's too late? Or has humanity and Earth gone too far for even the Creator's child to stop what has been put into motion?
