The Ghost in the Machine
The title of "Ghost in the Machine" originally belonged to Yaolan (A.K.A. Medusa), but was assumed by Tom Raines, after he sabotaged Yaolan's neural processer, to protect her from Joseph Vengerov. Tom took on the title yet again to become Vengerov's personal slave, and allowing him to destroy all the other companies in the Collation of Multi-Nationals and to remain the sole power in charge. The title was finally passed on, an shared by James Blackburn and Yaolan after Tom's capture, in attempts to thwart Vengerov's power trip. But the title of Ghost in the Machine in the end was given to James Blackburn and honoured his sacrifice of ramming his ship into the drone that was about to kill Tom and Wyatt effectively saving their lives at the cost of his. His sacrifice and memory live on in the statue of him Tom had commissioned in his honour.
