Canvases are a sub-human breed, designed specifically to be putty in your hands. Genetically engineered to have no natural sense of self or autonomy, Canvases can be taught to be anything you want; the perfect lover, the perfect child, the perfect staff. Made initially for industrial and corporate endeavours, they soon became available to the public for personal use. With convenient finance packages and fully customizable options, who could say no? Apart from the millions who lost their jobs to the unquestioning, unpaid workforce. Canvases may have implanted technology to enhance their intelligence and control their lifespan, but they aren't like the illegal AI's. They're flesh and blood. You can't treat them like machines. So what happens when you do? A Canvas has gone Errant. Mistreated and misplaced, just what are these sub-breeds capable of? That's a question the Justice Department doesn't want the public to find out the answer to. But there are some who have other ideas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First draft!!!!! Very open to constructive comments!!
