Through her interactions with Eris, Mika begins to question the blurred lines between AI and humans. At the same time, the existence of the government's AI surveillance system, "OmegaNet," becomes apparent, and she learns about the resistance movement, "The Resistance," fighting against the loss of freedom. Driven by her beliefs and feelings for Eris, Mika decides to join the resistance.
