Sat-rell-ite

When we are younger we pretend to be a lot of things, princesses, cops, dragons, and so on. However, all that ends. The dresses are put away, the plastic hats are recycled, and life goes on.
Rell Maymore is a teenage boy who did not retire the charade as most had. He still thinks he is a robot, with all of his hardware. He thinks he is a robot disguised as a human, and acts as such. School is hard, but he feels most human there. There is another student there, named Beckett Rhys. Beckett is a quiet conspiracy theorist that really bothers Rell. After a short circuit (mental breakdown) in school, Rell is sent to a hospital. He thinks he is trapped but Beckett tries to break him out and involve him in a plan to expose a horrible secret at a famous technology research facility.
All the while, Rell fears that Beckett will uncover that he is a robot that might have been born in the same facility. Rell may never give up his imaginary niche as a robot. Much to Beckett's dismay, Rell may forever remain at the mental level of a playful five year old clad aluminium foil. There is no upgrade from machine to human.
