The initial Chinese cyber attacks wiped out most of Australia’s computer networks and cut most of her navy off from contact with the mainland. The attacks also killed most of the prospective AIs built to answer Australia’s call to cybernetic security, ravaged her power networks, and left Australia unable to effectively resist the coming war. Mostly. Summer did not accept the idea that Australian civilization was at an end.

The radical revolutionary sentiment of the 1960s and 1970s faded into a far more sedate end of the century.

I know the popular theory is that she was a cybernetic copy of the first Dawn. I like that theory. The timelines fit. Cowboy Dawn came to Alpha Centauri with me. And then Cyber Dawn joined the project. It makes a lot of sense. One day I hope we can tell you the story.
Summer was built to answer an Australian government call for an anti-terrorism program and the University of Melbourne was one of many applicants. The long testing process turned real world when they began picking up indications of Chinese expansion towards Australia. The final exam became deadly serious as the new AIs pulled out every trick in the book in an effort to find where the attack would come. Many of them became the first Chinese targets.
