When a series of mysterious attacks involving Cogito infected AutoReivs occur, Re-l is assigned to investigate, and encounters a humanoid monster. Later, she is attacked by two of these monsters at her home.

Re-l struggles to convince her peers of her encounters with the monsters, which she learns are called Proxy. She is removed from the investigation and finds that Iggy has had his memories of recent events erased. Meanwhile, Vincent finds himself on the run from a proxy and then the city’s authorities.

Re-l braves the outside world in order to bring Vincent back to Romdo. While there, Raul commences his plan to capture Vincent by attacking the Commune with patrol drones. Re-l’s environmental suit is damaged and Vincent is injured in the attack. Re-l suspicions are confirmed that there is a link between Vincent and the Proxies.

Vincent and Pino stumbles onto war-torn Halos, where they are caught in a war between the dome’s human inhabitants and its autonomous AutoReivs.

Disturbed by recent events, Raul questions the future of Romdo. Meanwhile, Re-l and Iggy explore a strange antiquated dome inhabited only by primitive AutoReivs.

An infected Iggy becomes enraged and kidnaps Re-l, setting out to kill Vincent. Re-l is again confronted by the homeless AutoReiv.

Finding himself in a bizarre live game show, Vincent’s trivia knowledge is put to the test as he battles for his life.

Vincent finds himself trapped within Re-l’s consciousness, and observes powerlessly as events unfold.
