Long after humanity destroys itself, a society of surviving androids remains. Two servile androids secretly recreate a human from preserved DNA, provoking the ruling military machines.

The episode depicts an entire post-human android culture with repair centres, memory systems, mechanical social classes and explicit machine executions. Martin is captured, partially dismantled and displayed as a warning.
