It began when the first sentient automaton discovered God. Some felt the automaton – newly awakened to how the world could be – stood for a new era in human and automaton cohabitation. Others, however, saw the automaton as an iconoclast threatening the existence of humankind. What happens next became the cataclysm that shaped the future.
Years later, in the techno-utopian surveillance state of OMEGA II, humankind has transcended beyond flesh and bone. Addicted to bio-enhancements and technological augmentations, humanity has become more artificial than organic. It isn’t long before their second-class counterparts - the automatons - embark on a suffrage movement for equal rights, with a demand to uplift their bodies and undergo species reassignment surgery.
With growing tensions, a looming threat of civil war lingers in the background. Through the political unrest is Olena, a memory harvester with a mysterious past. When she discovers a digital neural virus created to infect the neural chips implanted in humans, she finds herself pulled into a deeper conspiracy.
Together with the aid of a hi-tech mercenary named Kincaid, the two set out on a race against time to stop a civil war from breaking out within the city.
