Then she is helped by Lazar Volkov, a mysterious cyborg astronaut who claims to know exactly what happened: Someone used leaked military technology, capable of controlling people from a distance via the "Neurosphere", the worldwide network of neurochips. Tragically, this encounter could be the trigger for the beginning of the end of civilization.
