History
Cyberswine was a CyberCity cop named George Fox who had undergone a procedure that made him into a Mechanimal (i.e. Mechanical Animal) in 2070. The Chief of Police summoned him to Police Headquarters and partnered him with Lieutenant Sarah Lee. He decided to demonstrate the capabilities of his Combat Chip, Logic Chip, Public Relations Chip and Emotion Regulation Chip to the two of them.

Cyberswine and Sarah walked out of Police Headquarters and received much fanfare on the news. They prepared to start their orientation patrol. Sarah asked him if he was going to activate his PR Chip. He decided not to, because he was only talking to her. They got into an argument over Sarah's attitude, and she explained that the Chief partnered her with him as a part of her probation. When Cyberswine asked why, she explained that it was because she refused to take the Healthex vaccine. He had no idea what Healthex was and she was shocked at his ignorance. She asked him if he really wanted to know what Healthex was. He decided that he wanted to know, and she explained that the vaccine protects the person who takes it from all diseases. Cyberswine wondered why she would turn down something good. She retorted that she fights for herself and that they will lose their edge relying on technology.

At that moment, a Tech Prototype Courier Droid named Speedo appeared and spray-painted the word “PIG” on him. Sarah decided to pursue Speedo, and when Cyberswine tried to point out that they are not allowed to do anything like that on their orientation patrol, she asked him if he was coming with her or just going to stand there. He decided to come with her, and they boarded their AV (Air Vehicle).

As they pursued Speedo, Sarah pointed out the controls to Cyberswine. He considered calling the Chief to let him know what they were doing. He decided to call the Chief and explain the situation to him. The Chief went ballistic and said that Sarah was fired and Cyberswine was going to be made into a toaster. They considered a strategy to catch Speedo. Cyberswine decided to pull the AV up and land it at the spot Speedo was going to pass through. The plan worked, resulting in Speedo crashing into Cyberswine's hand and knocking him out. Cyberswine and Sarah considered how they were going to talk to Speedo. He decided to activate the PR Chip and treat Speedo nicely. Speedo was surprised by this and made a joke about Cyberswine being a pig. They arrested him and put him in the back of the AV.

They started heading back to Police Headquarters. Cyberswine decided to turn on the TV so that he can listen to politics. Sarah made it clear that she thinks that the political situation is messed up. Suddenly, their AV lost control. Despite Cyberswine's efforts, they had no choice but to go for a crash landing. As a result, they crashed the AV and lost consciousness.

When they came to, they met an ancient droid named Draino who had pulled them out of the AV. He explained to them that the world was undergoing a great change at this very moment. Sarah coughed up some blood, which prompted Cyberswine to perform a medical scan, and he revealed that she had a cracked rib. Cyberswine and Sarah hear the cries of a woman in distress. At the same time, Speedo showed up and taunted Cyberswine to chase after him. Cyberswine decided to ignore Speedo and go to the woman. They asked the woman why she was crying. She explained that her baby “disappeared” (i.e. disintegrated) right in front of her and that she was not feeling so good herself. Cyberswine's medical scan revealed that she had a virus that was causing her to disintegrate. She tried to beg them for help, but they could do nothing for her. Finally, she keeled over and died, disintegrating until there was nothing left but her clothes.

Cyberswine scanned the area for signs of life and found one healthy person. It was a teenage boy who was trying to help a dying old man. At that moment, a red rebel AV flew by, shooting at something. Cyberswine decided to go to the boy, but the boy stood up and ran off. Cyberswine and Sarah talked to the old man, who explained that his arms are on fire, his wife is dead and the whole city is dead. He begged them to kill him. Cyberswine was at a loss as to what to do. He decided not to kill the old man and tried to keep him talking. The old man finally died and disintegrated to nothing. Sarah scolded him for not killing the old man. Cyberswine tried to say that killing is against the law, but she countered that sometimes you have to bend the law to stay human.
