Kate is a hacker and underground resistance coordinator in Alt-City, also a friend of Lololoshka. She has a brother, Caleb, and a friend, Haley (not yet a girlfriend).
Character: kind, reasonable and purposeful, but sometimes a little hot-tempered.
Appearance: Dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail with a purple flower in it. Clothing: A purple jacket (a muted, slightly faded shade) with silver hardware and patch pockets; underneath, a light gray turtleneck. She is 26 years old. Height: 1.72 cm.

Radan is a former Imperial operative and co-founder of The Shining. Personality: reserved, caring, calm. He is a close friend of Kate and Kavinsky.
Appearance: Orange hair, dark brown eyes, short hair, neat stubble. Clothing: an unbuttoned checkered shirt (muted gray-brown colors) over a black T-shirt. Over the shirt is a vest with many pockets, the fabric is thick, frayed in places, loose, dark gray pants with a belt and a pair of carabiners, massive sneakers, the laces are tied carelessly, a thin chain around his neck, and a simple, non-blingy watch on his wrist. Height: 1.83 cm. Age: 28 years old.

Aloterra is a high-tech domed planet from Lololoshka's "Perfect World" season, where the Empire holds power and the inhabitants are monitored through implants.

Alt-City - The capital, the main city of Aloterra, located in the dome itself

Watches are currency.

The Empire hadn't collapsed yet. So, Inspector Void is alive. And Radan's hair isn't blue, it's orange. And Lololoshka hasn't met Sharon yet. And anyway... Well, you get the idea.

The plot itself: Lololoshka, tired after work, goes to a cafe at Kivinsky's invitation, passing by the residents of Aloterra. At the time, Lo and Kate knew nothing about "The Shining," and couldn't even imagine that they would destroy the empire and that Raya would become the very head of the empire, but no longer cruel, unlike Calhoun.

(If you didn’t understand, I’ll add memories of Kay and Radan, and briefly about the city of Alt-City)

Raya Prime is a module with the fractal personality of Raya Aber (essentially Raya, only Aber is a scientist, unlike a fractal personality). Simply put, it's a digital embodiment of her consciousness in a robotic shell. Prime doesn't have Aber's memories; it's not an exact copy, but rather an "echo" of her personality and knowledge. Her personality is caring without pathos, sometimes making dry jokes for relief. Unlike other robots, she experiences emotions through her hardware and strives for meaning. In short: a calculating and logical character. She also has a bloody form.
The "bloody" form isn't malice, but overload. When a Prime enters the "evil" (bloody) form, it doesn't mean they've become inherently evil. It's a reaction to extreme emotions or the influence of the Resurrection Chamber: the system is overloaded, the filters are removed.
Raya Prime's appearance: essentially, her form is a compact cube, a light-metal body with dark accents; her material is tungsten steel (resistant to high temperatures); a dark blue display on the front displays her "face" in blue tones; she has ears; small elements on the top and sides help Prime express emotions; engines; powerful installations on the bottom and back, thanks to which she can fly. Special states: during moments of strong emotion or in the Halls of the Resurrection, Prime transforms into an "evil" form: blood stains appear on her body, and the screen turns blood red. She can become small and appear on Lololoshka's shoulder. Sometimes, Raya can become invisible for a short time.
Raya doesn't have a specific age. Height: 25-30 cm (it's obvious why).

Lololoshka is a planeswalker and commissar. Lololoshka didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he took the name "Dave" so he could spend time with Kavinsky quietly and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. Therefore, Kavinsky doesn't yet know Lo's real name.
Character: kind, stable, caring but sometimes gentle, confident.
Appearance: Brown hair, blue eyes. Clothing: Dark brown jacket with golden geometric trim (circular and linear patterns on the shoulders and collar), blue-turquoise checkered scarf, white turtleneck, cybernetic modules at the temple and on the shoulder (metallic elements with a blue glow), under the jacket on the neck.
Age +- 23/24 years. Height 1.90 cm.

Kavinsky is a former pilot and mechanic. Personality: cynical and brash at times, but he can also be a friend.
Appearance: dark blond hair, casual styling, light stubble.
Wears a leather jacket, dark pants, fingerless gloves, and almost always wears blue sunglasses, even when they're not needed. Behind the glasses are bright red eyes. Age: 31. Height: 180/182+- cm.
