The Singularity formulates the ultimate plan to save the human race. Using its enormous powers, it identifies the genetic markers that will best guarantee survival. From the ruins of the world's government, it assembles the Heptagon to collect those who will become the ultimate saviors of humanity. With ruthless precision, they do its bidding.
