Softwire: Betrayal onOrbis 2 is about a "softwire" (someone who can enter computers with their minds) called JT whose guarantor is in huge debt and has to send his so-called human slaves to Orbis 2 for a new job and home. JT was asked to talk to some Samirans (giant sea-dwelling creatures) who had recently been problematic. Being a softwire he was the only one who could understand the Samirans, who, apparently had served the humans for longer than their work period and want to go home.
