I Read Stories: The Princess, NP by Brian Hugenbruch

 

The Princess NP by Brian Hugenbach in Escape Pod

Jana takes a position in Creative Ops in Hexa station. Her data analysis skills verge on the miraculous, especially when plugged into the Hoplon Matrix. Even without she can feel the shift in gravity caused by a docked ship mis-reporting it’s mass. Her contract is owned by the Queen. She’s not a data princess. The training required to create such a person is illegal, and Hexa station does things by the book.

Not everyone who passes through Hexa station does things by the book. And now the Queen is coming, and Jana must still obey her. Yet to do so may doom more girls to the data princess training.
