History

Chai, a 25-year old man with a disabled arm with a dream to become a guitarist rockstar, arrives at Vandelay Technologies campus to volunteer for Project Armstrong, a test program for cybernetic limb replacement. However, when the company’s CEO, Kale Vandelay carelessly throws Chai's portable music player, it fell onto into the latter’s chest and fused with him during the embedment, causing him to feel a musical connection with his surroundings. As a result of the accident caused by Kale’s carelessness, Chai is labeled a defect and the facility's robotic security forces pursue him, seeking to "recall" the defect.

Chai discovers his new arm can deploy an electromagnetic stick meant to pick trashes, which he uses to fashion a guitar-like weapon. The robotic arm which Chai can deploy and wield a magnetic stick reveals that he was meant to be enlisted a garbage boy for the waste department by Vandelay administrative, rather than can finally pursue his future dream as a rockstar. As he searches for a way to escape, he encounters a robotic cat named 808. He is aided by an unseen ally, Peppermint, who communicates through the robotic cat, and guides him to her hideout. There, she offers to help Chai escape if he agrees to help her investigate the conspiracy behind Project Armstrong. The two form a reluctant alliance.

Soon, Chai helps Peppermint gain access to a Vandelay executive computer, and learn about SPECTRA, an AI-program that uses Vandelay's cybernetic implants as a back-door for mind control. The two hatch a plan to access and shut down SPECTRA by securing passkeys from each of the company's executives, including the CEO, Kale. As they pursue their targets, they recruit more allies, including the disgruntled former head of R&D Macaron and his blunt psychology robot CNMN (pronounced “Cinnamon”), then lastly, Vandelay's security chief, Korsica. While exploring a museum of Vandelay Technologies, Peppermint reveals that she is Kale’s sister, making her full name, Peppermint Vandelay. She explains that their mother, Vandelay's founder Roxanne, encouraged her to leave home and find her own path, but returned home after Kale's ascent to CEO because she sensed something was wrong.
