For over 20 years, Dr. Deidre Destrange produced groundbreaking research on cybernetics under STOP: a world-renowned security organization.

However, her work has led to the birth of STOP’s Youth Training and Development Initiative (YTDI): an unethical program that turns children into powerful cyborg soldiers.

Since Deidre’s legacy founded the YTDI, she believes she has the power to end it.
