    2 Official Help File Description

    Code
    The Resistance was just months away from certain destruction by its approaching enemies when a band of hackers and engineers wired together all of the free world’s computers to create seven Host Stations as the ultimate Resistance force. Seven human synaptic donor units, or SDUs, were chosen based on their nervous systems' response times and neuroconfiguration to pilot these Host Stations. Because the surgical upload of an SDU to a Host Station is irreversible, these champions came to be heralded as heroes who sacrificed their own humanity for the continual humanity of others. You are the last of these SDU champions to be deployed into battle. Learn from the mistakes of your predecessors. The survival of The Resistance and all of its ideals rests with you.
