Rehash
He is nothing but an urban legend. The ghost from a past which we would rather forget. But our ghosts don't forget about us. The singularity war between humans and renegade androids ended in 2049. Twenty-five years ago. Humans emerged victorious, but only with the help from loyal androids who did not turn their back on humanity... and as a 'reward' for their service, they were shut down. Deemed too dangerous to be part of society. Camilo, a twenty-two-year-old college student, is a vocal protestor against the decision to terminate all androids after the war. Of course, this has nothing to do with his admiration of spectre model Z-3293, also known as 'Zed.' An android who saved the entire European continent from a bioweapon airstrike which would have wiped out all life. Nowadays, 'Zed' is seen as nothing more than trite pro-android propaganda. Nobody took Camilo seriously until one day he found model Z-3293, fully up and functioning, behind his apartment building.Complete
