What does it mean to be perfect, truly? What does it mean to be the best? How long can one hold onto titles and accolades when the next best thing is already behind you. Watching, waiting, calculating, performing. At first, it's hard to notice, but the fear is present always in one's mind. Until one day, everything that you were afraid of has come to pass.
What happens when a singular corporation is effectively the government? When all opposition, rebellion and threats must be eliminated, their stain removed from the very fabric of existence? Humanity is stripped away from those who serve. Literal and figurative humanity, a breed of super soldiers with one exact purpose.

Can shadows be made flesh? The shells of soldiers whose lives and histories have been erased just as that of their victims, is there a force powerful enough to break through the madness and return one to the world of truth, emotion, and love. When humanity forsakes their corporeal nature in favor of the mechanized to outperform and outpace in the name of fear and control, what will be left?
What does it mean to be human?
