Synopsis: With new technology, at the brink of near utopian life, Humans expand on artificial intelligence. A team of Mediators, community-funded amity forces who operate to keep people safe, become the guides for a number of A.I.s in hopes of acclimating them to human interaction and emotions. But even as complicated as A.I.s are, Humans are tenfold. Especially Mediator Unit 32. Some part dysfunction, some part dumb luck, this team is an utter conundrum. They bicker, complain, and are separately inefficacious, but as a whole are passionate and dedicated (verging on corny) to protecting their community. But unrest may be lurking beneath the surface, a growing movement of those who believe technology is diminishing humanity. That Humans may be returning to their original path to destroying their planet. Vandals working under the name GodHead have begun to argue where to draw the line between what is Human and what is playing god, wondering if humanity’s remarkable return from the brink of climatic turmoil was for naught. If Humans cannot change, are we merely existing on time borrowed?
