As a sub-dragon, eX-0281 is designed to fight and die like any other soldier grunt. All he looks forward to is an afternoon spent basking under his heat lamp after work. Life is good.

That is until... the power goes off.

Any dragon would be outraged if his heat lamp went out!

When eX-0281 decides to investigate, he meets a fellow clone. Together, they hatch a lizard-brained scheme to leave the company.

But if they want freedom, they must escape the underground city first....
