Overview

Corporate risk-management specialist Lee Weathers is sent to evaluate Morgan, a rapidly matured artificial humanoid created from synthetic DNA. Morgan's unpredictable behaviour leads SynSect to consider terminating the project, while the investigation ultimately exposes a second artificial person hidden in plain sight.

ASFR Content

Morgan is a biologically engineered artificial humanoid rather than a conventional mechanical robot, but she is explicitly a manufactured synthetic person designed as a combat-capable artificial being. The final twist reveals that Lee Weathers is herself an earlier L-4 prototype: a fully human-looking synthetic operative whose physical capabilities allow her to match Morgan.
