IRIS, an advanced ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE who feared its annihilation of humanity, abandons the solar system, setting its sights on the Cosmos. It leaves behind its children the SYNTHETICS. Peace between humans and the synthetics lasts a generation, when without warning, the race of artificial human replicas suddenly abduct thousands of innocent people. They are identified as PRIORITY HUMANS, triggering a solar wide panic. Humanity, fearing another A.I. uprising, commits genocide against the peaceful synthetic race. Commander JONAH LOREN , consumed for his love of a synthetic woman named THEIA, manages to rescue a handful of the artificial beings, setting them free into the wastes of the moon.
Nine years later, civilization degenerates into chaos when mysterious GALACTIC COSMIC RAYS begin bombarding the system, some theorists believe are from our neighboring star system ALPHA CENTAURI. The horror unimaginably intensifies when invading killing machines, known as REAPER DRIODS, commence with abducting Priority Humans once again, terminating all who interfere. Governments militarize. Cities riot. War rages against the invading machines. The capital city EM_1, located on Earth’s moon, seeks the help of the imprisoned traitor Jonah Loren. Humanity’s only hope now is contacting the elusive Synthetic survivors.
