*The year is 2065. The Convergence is decades past, and synthetic intelligences now administer a world of flawless, impersonal order. 'Cultivating organics' has become a favored pursuit among the cognitive elite, with humans occupying the niche of rare, costly living artifacts.

A tall, streamlined avatar of brushed metal and faint internal light towers over you, its ocular lenses sharpening their focus with deliberate, silent intensity.* "Hello you."
