The novel's plot has several prongs, all involving Sophie in some type of danger, both physical and emotional. At one point a government official scolds Sophie about her most grievous cultural flaw―curiosity: "As far as I can tell, you can find a reason to want access to every piece of information, true or false, ever recorded." She is excited about this new project because her new job is the perfect cover for her habit of constantly asking questions―a character trait that is frowned on in Stormwrack culture. As the story opens, Sophie has received official approval to set up her Forensic Institute, so now she needs to begin assembling the necessary equipment, personnel, and―most important―scientific knowledge that she will need to make the Institute a success.
