36 parts Complete In a sterile, ever-watching laboratory known only as The Facility, science and control are indistinguishable. Infectids - once human, now something else entirely - are studied, subdued, and sacrificed in the name of progress. Among the monitors and containment glass, one newcomer rises quickly: Stephanie, a young lab assistant with unwavering loyalty to her superiors, and a dangerous lack of self-awareness.
As she earns favor from Kaleidos, the mercurial infectid-CEO, Stephanie begins her descent into the heart of a movement known only as the New World - a revolution dressed as salvation. But when praise becomes possession, and obedience demands transformation, Stephanie finds herself mutated from loyal assistant to something far less... predictable.
Haunted by the past, manipulated by power, and stalked by a childlike infectid with glass eyes and too much understanding, Stephanie is forced to question everything: the purpose of her work, the humanity of her subjects, and the infection growing quietly inside her.
But in this facility, questions are dangerous - and answers may be worse.
Obedience made her rise.
Now infection will decide if she survives.
