Arda's journey begins...

Only five cities remain after OmegaFire ravaged the world. Ardora Prime lives in the Capital, where Dr. Gregory Jackson had painstakingly rebuilt society five generations ago, safely nestled behind large, white walls. As she prepares for the end of her academic life, strange events begin to plague her. Visions of betas, clawing and scratching at her face, strange sewer encounters, and a man with glowing blue eyes distract her from her first dance and the installation of her Chemistry chip, and final exams that stand between her and a lucrative career. On the last day of finals, war breaks out, and she is forced to stay behind while her classmates leave for basic training. As the only remaining graduate, she could have her pick of careers, but instead, she decides to join the clandestine organization Project: R.E.D.D, hoping she can still help as a spy.

A year later, as the war ends, she is recruited for her first solo mission: to find and report the traitor among her former classmates. Arda alone has the skill set to both identify, neutralize, and report the true traitor. She is forced to choose whether to turn them in, or to save them.
