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 is created by Simon Sayz, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

The metallic clang of the vault breaking open echoed throughout the hangar. Citizen took her eyes away from the window and looked over at Bless and Athan, who hovered over their prize from earlier. 


"Got it." Athan raised both hands in triumph. They opened the lid and removed a smaller box from the vault. 


Bless had been so convinced that whatever was in this box was worth it. Citizen trusted him, but they almost got caught because of it. It had better be something worth it. Citizen walked over to find the two men carefully laying the box on the workbench. 


All of a sudden, Citizen lost all emotion again. The beta chip link had disconnected. The yellow maintenance symbol appeared in the bottom left corner. The beta chip Bless installed so long ago was failing. Just her walking motion made the emotion data packages load again. She still struggled to see how her CPU could keep up with this pace. She was wasting a lot of processing speed on these dumb emotions.
