Story[]
Angela Balzac is an agent at the space station DEVA, which houses almost all the population of mankind, but without their physical bodies, their minds digitized and processed a virtual reality space. After failing to track down the hacker known as "Frontier Setter", who had infiltrated DEVA's systems dozens of times to gather allies for his cause with no success, she is tasked to look for him on Earth, now a barren planet where the rest of the humans live. After being given an organic body and sent to the surface, Angela meets Dingo, her contact on Earth, who cuts off all communications with her base, in order to prevent Frontier Setter from discovering their location as well, despite her protests.
Angela and Dingo's investigations lead them to an abandoned city, where they meet Frontier Setter, who is revealed to be an AI developed to supervise the construction of Genesis Ark, a ship designed for deep space travel, and somehow developed a conscience, continuing its work even after its masters had long perished. Realizing that Frontier Setter intends to do no harm at all, Angela leaves her body and reports to her superiors at DEVA, who order her to destroy it, fearing that it may eventually become a threat, but she refuses. Angela is then sentenced to have her mind stored into an archive forever, but Frontier Setter hacks into the system to rescue her. Once Angela returns to Earth and her organic body with supplies and weaponry, she and Dingo join forces to hold back DEVA's other agents long enough for a rocket carrying Frontier Setter and the final module to complete the Genesis Ark to be launched, and run away afterwards, while Frontier Setter starts its journey though space.
