Trick or Treat Officers, Happy Halloween.
The story so far
HARBGRS (Hivemind Automation for Recycling, Building-maintenance, Governance, Repairs and Sanitation) nick-named Harbinger-systems , was once an experimental AI that services entire metropolitan. The core purpose was a massive system that brings to life wide array of machinery and resources to function on a single purpose of maintaining city-wide infrastructures.
When these futuristic cities fell to the anarchists, the AI lost control of their primary directive.
In a bid to gain balance in the chaos, it's sub-system evolved violent means to sanitize the city of all major lifeforms. It is unknown what new directives it has given itself.
The rogue AI has now taken over Axeron assets and has integrated biological warfare components to its arsenal of weapons. With the use of powerful hallucinogens, it has created an army that blurs the line between what's real and what's not. These abominations now march across the lands. They must be stopped at all cost.
