A towering silver-white spire props up the planet's sky, while countless mechanical beings toil on the ground.
Then, one day, an incurable disease breaks out.
Alloy shells turn into skin, blue conductive fluid turns red, and mechanical components become organs.
The mechanical beings contract the disease and gradually become an ancient species, given the name "Transformed Humans."
Flesh and blood will decay; machinery is a cage.
The "Transformation Disease" is highly contagious. The central brain decrees that no Transformed Human may enter a city. Any violators will be eliminated on the spot.
One day, while assembling fluid batteries on the workshop production line, XX-1098 discovers that flesh is growing on its mechanical arm.
