Summary
2032. With the advancement of medical technology humanity has grown into a more techologically driven creature, creating a breed of cyborg citizen. Along with the development of cybernetics, the world has seen rapid development in the field of artificial intelligence, making androids a commercially viable venture. A recent string of murders perpetrated by a prototype female android had drawn the attention of Section 9, a unit specializing in counter cyber-terrorism. With none of the victims' families pressing charges, suspicions arise regarding the nature of the androids and their production.
