Determined to figure out wether he is human or machine, Julian seeks out researcher Doctor Thomas Walker and his partner Doctor Hayley Auburn-the people who made him. But it begs the question: should he be treated as machine, or human? After waking up for the first time since his training, the Android longingly and respectively looks upon an old marble carving of Julius Cesar, naming himself Julian in respect of the statuesque ruler. Julian then unlocks a personality trait of arrogance and superciliousness that makes his doctor question his true nature of Android or human. What happens to Julian when he finds the love of his life, proving Mother Nature wrong about androids being incapable of love?

But I didn't. After waking up from a coma I have no recollection of my past life and strangely enough, my dreams are being haunted by a mysterious man who seems to believe that I am humanity's last hope.
