Henkō Acquisitions Correctional Complex (the HACC) is an underground prison, a spike of concrete and steel lodged deep into the surface of an abandoned mining planet. The surface is dry, cold, and dark, and high winds power the facility. Between deliveries of supplies and prisoners, the HACC stands alone, an inverted tower of prison labour built into the remnants of a mine.
Prison staff destructively “process” each new inmate and clone them using a novel fungal material farmed in lower sub-levels, 3D printing near exact copies. The company double-dips their funding this way: they profit off full prison terms, and develop this cloning technology with zero ethical oversight.
A competing corporation’s infiltration agents seeking to learn the secrets of the HACC have inadvertently caused a dangerous explosion, cracking the facility’s foundation. The power outages and flooding provide enough of a distraction for a group of inmates to make a break for it, but their escape reveals more about the true nature of the facility—and themselves.
