![]() Lacey dreams of being part of it, a companioneer designing new smart pets and upgrades for the ever growing market. Conceived as replacements for mobile phones, the company hit on a whole new way for people to connect to the world and each other. Lacey Chu lives in a world filled with ‘baku’, robot animal companions created by tech giant MONCHA. Yes I know I'm probably too old for this, but it's such good fun! He seems to be more than just a robotic pet. But what is Jinx, really? His abilities far surpass anything written into his code or built into his motherboard. Lacey calls him Jinx – and Jinx opens up a world for her that she never even knew existed, including entry to the hallowed halls of Profecus. Slowly but surely, Jinx becomes more than just a baku to Lacey – he becomes her perfect companion. ![]() Days of work later and the baku opens its eyes. Once it might’ve been in the shape of a cat but it’s now mangled and broken, no sign of electronic life behind its eyes. ![]() Then, one night, Lacey comes across the remains of an advanced baku. ![]() When Lacey finds out she hasn't been accepted into Profectus - the elite academy for cutting edge tech - it seems her dreams are over. Worst of all, rather than getting to choose one of the advanced bakus, she’s stuck with a rubbish insect one. Lacey Chu has big dreams of becoming a companioneer for MONCHA, the largest tech firm in North America and the company behind the "baku" - a customisable smart pet that functions as a phone but makes the perfect companion too. ![]()
