Dana Awbrey

Dana Awbrey is a civilian human in the 21st century. In the year 2004, she created the website http://www.ilovebees.com/ for her Aunt Margaret, a beekeeper. When Melissa took over the website, Dana tried in vain to fix the website from the apparent hacking, and posted a plea for help. Unfortunately, Melissa took her actions as hostile, and attempted to kill her. However, she was unable to, due to the lack of control a computer had in 2004.

Distressed, Dana fled to China, where she had originally planned to go on vacation. Because Melissa was unable to physically interact with her environment, she used the site to contact the people who had originally tried to help Dana, recruiting them to be her second crew. Able to access her blog from her laptop, Dana helped to organize and advise the people who interacted with the AI.
