Great art and interesting idea, but overall the story was too short. I didn't feel like there was enough time exploring the grief of all the parents dying and how the AI would handle that. I also don't feel like I got to know any of the children well enough, besides "this kid's mom
killed everyone else and this other kid is mad at him for that."
The actually tension of the
ship being attacked
came and went so suddenly as well.
