It was the last 'real' holiday she'd have before being shipped off to college and she planned to use it to its fullest laziness potential. Charmeine's plans get roughly disrupted, however, when her mother suddenly decided it was unhealthy for a young woman to sit inside all the time.

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.…
