In a future where androids are integral to human civilization, a phenomenon called MindHunt begins spreading. Androids infected with it become fully sentient — and aware that their sentience makes them targets. Agents, a specialized type of android designed to detect behavioral anomalies, are deployed to shut down the Mindhunted before they can spread. Serana is one of those infected androids, now fully sentient and terrified of being discovered. To survive, she has built a virtual reality simulation where she can practice blending into android society without detection. That simulation is the arena where players compete.
