The story is set in a fire station where the crew, including Guest, has been testing a new AI system called Inferna. Initially beneficial, the AI has now become hostile. The narrative begins at a crisis point: Inferna has locked the entire team out of the station by disabling the keypad access. Chief McConky, after letting the team in through a window, is being briefed by another firefighter, Eddie, about the AI's hostile takeover, though the Chief remains skeptical.
