Summary
In the year 2180, Justice - the most powerful and diabolical Gear ever to have been encountered by humans - was defeated in the international fighting tournament. The remaining Gears, now leaderless, were hunted down and eliminated. Humankind was finally free from the catastrophic menace brought by the Gears.
Less than a year after the incident, the discovery of a particular Gear rose to people's attention. The report stated, "This Gear is functioning properly, even though its activities should be inhibited by its lack of leadership. There are no signs of abnormalities or physical damage. It is also noted that no civilians have been harmed, either intentionally or accidentally. We have made several attempts to eliminate the Gear; because of its tremendous combat capabilities, we were unsuccessful. The number of casualties has yet to be confirmed. We are currently keeping the Gear under surveillance."
Gears are biological weapons that are programmed to blindly obey the orders given them by their commander. In the absence of orders, they become passive and behave like their original forms. However, all existing Gears have had their memories erased by Justice, and without orders, they are incapable of doing anything; not only do they lack the instinct to protect themselves, they cannot even perform the essential activities to keep themselves alive. As long as a Gear is functioning properly, it should be following commands given by Justice.
Understandably, the news of this Gear that seemed to have a will of its own stunned everyone. Terrified by the possible emergence of a second Justice, combined with the rumour that each country possesses their own Gears for military use, anti-Gear sentiment increased to protect their long-awaited peace.
It was announced that whosoever succeeds in destroying the Gear will be rewarded with 500,000 World Dollars.
