Jebadiah Sorell was a world-renowned archeologist called to the scene of a fallen asteroid that crashed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains but remained intact. While studying the mysterious asteroid rock, Jeb fell entranced by its unusual hypnotic effects.Compelled by a deep obsession, he bought the land where the crash site occurred, and built a billion- dollar business around the phenomena. Together with his business partner, Barnaby Roseville, a world renowned sculpture artist, they miraculously discover a way to bring statued replicas of humans to life using samples of stone from the asteroid. Their endeavors lead to selling docile Roseville Reproductions, enlivened with a remarkably compliant AI (Alien Intelligence), and catapults into a highly successful commercial business known as Quantum-Chron Industries.Five years into production, and after a wide distributorship of Roseville AI-Repos, Jebadiah is killed by an unknown cause.Jebadiah's only daughter, Delores Sorell, inherits her father's empire and is quickly overwhelmed when Quantum-Chron clients start reporting problems with their Roseville AI-Repos rebelling against them. Delores must rely on her father's fellow business partner, to help her manage the disastrous problems that are exacerbating into a widespread AI-Repo revolt.
