Citizen Hill's a genetically enhanced warrior trained to hunt infected humans and rogue Gollums. When Elysium moves into the Autonomous Zone declaring ownership, the Therian Federation tasks her with a mission: infiltrate the organization, find the leader, Julian Bless, and disband the followers. Once on the inside, she discovers a horde of infected humans and Gollums responsible for a series of brutal attacks devastating the Township of New Therian.

Fearing a Gollum invasion, the leaders of New Therian quarantine the city and implement a lockdown, sealing the city in a dome. Citizen turns to the humans of Elysium for survival, but she soon finds herself at odds with her programming, her creators, and what it means to be human. Fighting at Julian Bless' side, she discovers there’s more to the virus, the Federation Leadership, and her origins.

Citizen Hill: Autonomous Zone

Citizen walked up to the dinner stand where a line of people had formed on the sidewalk, looking for a last-minute meal.


Two surveillance drones came down the street in her direction.


She needed a crowd to hide in. She stood in line like everyone else, keeping a couple of bodies in between her and the two drones flying by.


Her hood remained up, although most others had them down. She had heard about the new hood regulation in passing but had yet to see the message on the telescreens. She would have to get rid of her hood or get inside quickly.


It had been a long day in Sector 8 today. She had freed a total of eleven more people and eliminated three squads of soldiers.


The drones took their time scanning the faces and silhouettes of everyone they could. That pesky emotion of fear crept up into Citizen's spine again, making her uneasy.


Some fine hairs on the back of her neck seemed to stand up.


Well, that's a new sensation - an unwelcome one at that.
