During an experiment on life extension, humans lost their attachment to the biophysical world getting intact with the cyber one. A body was once the vassal and the soul its driver which connected the world around it. It was the Human brain that grew adamant with the ambitions to live forever and chose robotics unleashing an alternative source. The literal meaning of dreams is now related to the goal that every human set. Many dreamt to live a life of comfort without taking any pain while a few knew to live a comfortable one the pain will be the initial cost. Everyone had a choice with the resources they used but there was only one resource given equally to all. A daytime that consisted of twenty-four hours divided into four quarters that is a morning, afternoon, evening and the night which every human must spend efficiently. Those who knew there would come a day when their body will give up and the future they believed to change with their ideas will not happen to be in reality that was when the concept of Dupebots came into existence.
Ila Dos is a neurologist who is in the early stage of Melanoma a serious type of skin cancer. She only has a year of mortality left. Alex Robicquet being a successful robotic researcher and love of her life fears to lose her. He is now in a search for an alternative as there is no biological cure to save her. On Ila’s advice Alex convinces Professor Stephan Thrun to assign her as the subject for an experiment and sets Project Perpetuity to its initiation.
Alex being an assistant researcher under the patronage of Professor Thrun had already designed Protobots. The actual purpose why Professor Thrun and Alex worked on a Protobot experiment was to make a device easily available for humans as their prototype. The Protobots were designed in such a way that the humans could operate it from their homes and get at their workspace to reduce the physical stress they levied every day during the working hours. To keep a strong feeling of Ila’s presence around him, Alex transforms the Protobot into a Dupebot replicating her human-like appearance. The only possible alternative that Alex seeks now is to restore Ila’s consciousness into her Dupebot through a permanent neural transmission which is only possible if they could raise funds to get Project Perpetuity to its next phase.
Present-day Alex’s only hope is Evon Hart the dynamic CEO of Space Trex an aerospace transportation services company that had bought the Protobots for their space missions. Hart well known for his 21st-century vision to colonize humans on Mars for the future apocalypse expresses his interest in Project Perpetuity. He knows to overcome his dreams one lifetime wouldn’t be enough and one day he may also run out of time. The only thing Hart asks Alex in exchange for the success of the project is to hand over all the rights to him for once and all. Professor Thrun who has his own suspicions for Hurt’s bargain warns Alex about the grieve consequences before he could even come up with a decision.
Alex has one choice now, to save Ila and hand over Project Perpetuity to Hart. Will Alex find a solution before taking a decision or give up his life’s work for the one he loves?
