| abstract | - After a Slipspace explosion, the smart AI Melissa was sent from the year 2552 to 2004 and crashed on the server of a beekeeper's website. Because of the crash, the human part of her mind known as the Sleeping Princess managed to escape from the code that had imprisoned her. She wrote her story out in haiku format, and hid the haikus in corrupted images on the website. The Sleeping Princess writes in a fairy tale type fashion and refers to real life characters by fairy tale names:
* The Queen: The Operator, the AI part of Melissa
* The Widow: SPDR, an emergency repair program inside Melissa
* The Pious Flea: The Seeker, a Covenant AI that managed to avoid detection by pretending it was an updated SPDR.
* Dana Awbrey: The girl who runs the website.
