Synopsis

The setting is a domed city called Romdo, where humans cannot live outside the dome (die in the polluted atmosphere?).
Inside the dome is an orderly, controlled society, where the humans are all obedient ‘good citizens’ and they all live comfortably with the support of butler-like robots called ‘auto-raves’.
This is a utopia where crime is almost non-existent.
However, from a certain point in time, there have been many incidents of auto-raves ignoring human commands and running amok.
Apparently, there is a mysterious virus called ‘Cogito’, and auto-raves infected with it seem to sprout an ego.
Then one day, an unidentified monster appears in the town, and many people are killed.
The heroine, Lil Meyer, is an intelligence officer who investigates what this monster is and who the man it is chasing is.
