The year 2566 looks very promising. Adapted and genetically modified humans are the success of the time. People no longer have illnesses, lives are prolonged up to 320 years, people do not age, every disease is eradicated, the quality of life is beyond what anyone had ever expected. But at what cost? Many of these people who are "abducted" or go "missing" are test subjects and lab rats for the imperative success of these genetic modifications. Uma is one of many, but some claim they are not missing at all, just hidden. Are Uma and the rest, really just hidden or is the Trans-Continental Laboratory of Higher Genetic Research and Engineering hiding more than they lead on?

But by transporting the brain to a younger body, one that can host it, it can continue living. The synthetically produced humans are not people. Of course they're not. If they were people then the originally occurring humans would be monsters for killing them and transferring originally occurring brains into their bodies. The originally occurring people are not monsters. Of course not. They just want to live. And to save something you need to kill something. The synths are a necessary sacrifice. ----- Ika has heard what the originals think about the synths. But she also knows her own heart, and her own grief, and her own terror.

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.
