Synopsis/Details
Humanity, having escaped from a polluted planet, left their synth-skin androids to clean up the mess and to preserve their culture from further damage. However some chose to forget this and in a rule of vengeance, turn on some of their fellow synth-skin androids to oppress humanity's history and culture. Parmenides, a synth-skin android and archaeologist, and others like him strive to preserve history and humanity's culture within a totalitarian android-ruled regime by secretly using their own creations, canister-droids, to preserve as much as possible for humanity's and culture's sake. Many historians, archivists and archaeologists risk their lives and seal their fates by doing this, Parmenides being one of them. In a bittersweet end he seals his fate, yet wins at the same time.
