Kai is a nobody. 一无所有 (yìwúsuǒyǒu), or “poor as dirt” as they say in the martian city of Mazhou. Mazhou is a city that more closely resembles a petri dish than a civilization. “A test tube of Darwinian economics mixed with cultural sterility.”
And Kai – just an unremarkable woman in an unremarkable place. She’s statistically average in every way, and terribly isolated from those around her. A recluse among recluses. A person with no interest in escaping the dystopic hive of dwindling commerce that is Mazhou. And despite the horrendous pay, she remains a devoted light machinery technician of the ubiquitous Chara Corporation. A true champion of mediocrity, one that never had any alternatives.
It’s this mediocrity in particular that makes her so perfectly suited for the Mivax vaccine study, which is presented to her by her shrewd and cryptic uncle: Rem Jia. After a bit of convincing, she realizes that she just can’t bring herself to pass up the offer. Its too easy. All she has to do is to participate in the study as a test subject, for two weeks. And upon completion, there’d be a lump-sum payment of 12,000 credits. A small fortune for someone of her status.
But what’s Rem’s true agenda? Is he really looking to help Kai, or is he planning to betray his last living relative?
Kai and the Collector is a novelette set in a martian science fiction universe, incorporating elements of horror, suspense, and even economics into a scientifically accurate setting.
