Dana Awbrey

Dana Awbrey is a human. She is a female civilian in the 21st century, living in the United States. She has a mother named Chloe and an aunt, Margaret Efendi.

Background
In the year 2004, she created the website I Love Bees 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 called I Love Bees from her laptop, Dana helped to organize and advise the people who interacted with the AI.
