In the America of the future, the government has worked tirelessly to stamp out all forms of inequality, even the most inherent and decisive one: cognitive ability. Under the True Economic Equality Act all people with a high cognitive aptitude would subsidize those with lesser mental abilities by sharing a portion of their brain's cognitive power.

To take on the almost insurmountable task of cognitive redistribution, the Department of Cognitive Equality (DCE) was formed and put into the care of Director Hardcastle. Under her department's ever watchful eye, the American people were finally becoming truly equal.

However, sometimes there are those who refuse to comply  with the act. For these non-compliants, they get a one way trip to the DCE's headquarters, where they will be able to serve the public more than ever before.
