Anonymous Benefactor: Even with her genius, Efi was not at all expecting to be nominated for the Adawe Foundation's 'genius grant' as it was exclusively for teachers, but an anonymous source pressured her into applying, leading to her unexpectedly winning it weeks later.Whoever 'she' is, Orisa says she'll explain more once they're airborne. After Efi returns to school, Orisa literally comes crashing in from the roof - her hard-light caster having been inexplicably upgraded to an advanced fusion driver - arriving to pick Efi up to meet someone important. And the Adventure Continues: Efi, Orisa, Lúcio, and their friends all successfully fight off Doomfist, though he gets away.

It takes a pep talk with Lúcio (and an ominous encounter with Bisi) for Efi to reactivate Orisa, and the two quickly forgive each other. 10-Minute Retirement: After Orisa mistakes a student dressed up as Doomfist for the real deal and attacks him, Efi comes to believe she made too many mistakes with creating her and shuts her down, despite Orisa's protests.Set in the Afrofuturistic city of Numbani, it tells the story of Child Prodigy Efi Oladele and how her witnessing Doomfist's attack on the city's security bots leads her to create the robot Orisa to protect the city.Īn audiobook narration by Orisa's voice actress, Cherrelle Skeete, was released on December 28, 2020.
