In the distant exoplanet Iron-7, used for its rare materials and resources, humans use worker and disassembly drones as slaves, foremen and guards. Life goes on and soon the smokes of the gigantic factories processing the raw materials turned the sky completely black, triggering an eternal night on Iron-7.
One fateful day, the humans in the central command room received alarming news and a huge encrypted file from the distant sister colony Copper-9, eerie experiments started in the labs deep beneath the main complex. After a while, something wiped all humans and drones started to recreate a society for themselves, until the disappearances began, starting with Elie, a shy maid worker drone and soon leaving three drones alone in the complex turned hunting ground. Serial Designation Y, a former bodyguard who grew fond of Elie, vows to one day find her back. For now he is trying to survive with Serial Designation Z, a female disassembly drone with a sharp tongue and even sharper claws, and Ben, a happy-go-lucky worker drone who acts as Z's number one fan.
Together, they'll try to get help and venture in the forbidden labs and possibly learn that appearances are deceiving.
