The Hive has created a society in which each individual has been genetically programmed to fit into their specific role. There is no dissent; there can be no dissent as even the potential for such has been removed from its population. Only the Human Defense Force remains to resist the genetic imperatives of the Hive. Led by Thane and Allora Denton, the people of the HDF have managed to create a near utopia with the AIs; FREYJA and SCYTHE. Together they have forged a tenuous but centuries long stalemate. Nothing lasts forever though, and the Hive has finally discovered the key to breaking the defenses of the combined human and AI forces. What does it mean to be human? The victors will decide.
