                In this prequel spin-off of The Orphans, we go deeper into the history of the mysterious facility.


                The cloning process is well under way, and in the isolation of his solitary posting, Baz turns to the GeoFFRy unit for friendship. After coming face-to-face with the cold-heartedness of the A.I., Baz wonders if perhaps, with a little tweaking, he can make this new GeoFFRy model more sympathetic to human emotions.
