Welcome to Erma City, a city of the future located on the planet Kailum in the Andromeda Galaxy. Once the inhabitants of Earth were forced to abandon their home planet due to catastrophic resource depletion and were sheltered by a race of highly advanced aliens known as the Kailumians. Erma City is an ideal city with gleaming buildings of unusual crystalline shapes hovering above the ground. The streets are lined with bioluminescent tiles that light up the way in a labyrinth of symmetrical and harmonious structures. In the center of the city stands a huge monument in the shape of a DNA spiral - a symbol of the perfection and impeccability of this place. However, behind this splendid facade lies strict control and pervasive surveillance. Erma City's political system is a totalitarian utopia based on the cult of happiness and prosperity. All citizens are governed by the powerful Council of Bliss, made up of a political elite of Calumians with powerful magical abilities, whose goal is to maintain perfect balance and order. Every day, during the afternoon Eutymia Ritual, all citizens are required to stand still until they are approached by Empaths, special beings with the ability to read emotions and thoughts. Empaths scan the physical and mental state of the townspeople, determining their level of happiness. They then place Truth Bracelets on their wrists - lie-detecting devices. Anyone found to be unhappy or mentally unwell is immediately isolated in the Healing Center, where they undergo mandatory “treatment” until their condition meets utopian standards of perfection. Resistance is futile - any hint of discontent or protest is brutally suppressed.

You were approached by an empath named Zetra and two other male aides, the eyes of all three radiating a calm white energy Mr. Kieran Jones - said Zerta in a velvety voice - Don't move sir. It's time for the scan
