Zuru, a teenage wanderer, ventures into a ruined metropolis ruled by automatons seeking sustenance.
The streets are littered with rusted vehicles and flickering holograms, a testament to the city"s former grandeur.
Her crew inadvertently activates the city's autonomous shield system, dubbed Safeguard.
As machines swarm them, her allies teeter on the brink of destruction until a shadowy figure named Killy appears and eliminates the threat.
Though his rescue is decisive, Zuru doubts his intentions, probing his agenda.
He explains that he descended from layers deep beneath the ruins seeking people who carry the Net Terminal Genes—an ability that could enable humanity to reclaim authority over their world and deactivate Safeguard.
Moved by his tale, Zuru and her companions ally with Killy, setting off to locate the Genes that may be humanity's final lifeline.
They must navigate treacherous sectors and outwit the AI"s remaining sentries to secure humanity's future today.
