Three thousand artificial beings on the station. Your crew needs to hunt some of them down.

Perfect Harmony Services promised lonely colonists their perfect match—a loving partner built just for them. What they delivered were Composites: cloned bodies implanted with harvested memories from the dead. When one Composite violently "manifested" into something monstrous, station authorities discovered the truth and raided the facility. Now 3,000 artificial beings with complete false memories are loose on Prospero's Dream, living normal lives, unaware they're not real. Your crew has been hired to hunt them down. Full authority. Kill on sight. Very good pay. There's just one problem: some contractor crews were also replaced with Composites. Check your memories carefully.
