During a third World War, two enemy super-computers managed to wipe out humanity on Earth; one computer was destroyed, and the remaining computer was The Works. Now the only populants of the planet are robots, and the only remaining humans live in asteroid colonies. 2,000 years after this war, a teenage human named Beeper Raxis is contacted by a robot from the Moon, named Ipso Facto. An abandoned research station on the Moon named Selene wants humanity to get back in touch with their ancestry, which The Works has record of but refuses to give access to; she built Ipso as a messenger to recruit a human to help.
