The year 3018. Humanity has become too desensitized to everything. Everything is boring. Pain is boring. Hate is boring. Even love is boring. People are constantly fed more and more shocking images, in an attempt to get things to sink in -- adverts, political messages, army propaganda. None of it has any meaning anymore.
As humans become increasingly less able to have opinions of their own and come up with their own ideas, computers have begun to think for themselves. W.E.I. - Worldwide Entropy Intelligence, has emerged as the world's smartest computer, with rational and reasonable artificial intelligence.
To cope with humanity's problem, W.E.I. created the E.S.LE - the Emotion Supplement League. A group of humanoid androids, the members of the E.S.LE can deliver emotions in a concentrated form to human customers. They do this using hypodermic syringes and needles, extracting the drug from their own "blood". This blood is, however, merely a fluid that runs through their artificial veins. Immortal, un-aging, and with superhuman speed, strength, and intelligence, these androids have only one flaw - they are missing the emotion that they sell, and if they use the drugs on themselves, they will be shut down.
