Luka used to have a friend in the loop, Maddox but he went for a Delay and never returned which is pretty common, however, there is some good about Luka’s prison life. One thing to note is the society is split between Alta, genetically modified cyborgs and Regulars, non-altered humans and there are Naturals too, these are Regulars that are more beautifully that others but not as much as an Alt. Delays are medical trials and experiments that the prisoners take part in to pay back their execution date. All the prisoners have been sentenced to death and the only way to prevent the execution is by taking Delays. The Loop keeps the prisoners in almost completely isolated apart from one hour a day where they can talk over the walls. ![]() We are following Luka Kane who has just turned 16 and he celebrates inside a state of the at prison known as the Loop, which is run by the AI, Happy.
