After 25 years of constant working with clients with robotic prosthetics, a cloned laborer named Savan Forg thinks maybe they could acquire some for themselves. The current norms won't allow for someone like them to purchase them, even other markets don't want the hassle that comes from such a transaction.

The only way that could work for them is to, voluntarily, take part in a competition held by the eight remaining mega-companies on the planet. Held once per year, Savan resigns from their current post and enters as a patient-competitor in the R.O.C (Robotics Operations Challenges) for the needy.
