Synopsis for "1,000 Typewriters"
Five years ago, Dr. M carried out experiments on capuchin monkeys in Yokogata, Japan with United States of America-based geneticist Allison Mann. While shipping the experiments back and forth, two capuchins got out of their cages and the handlers at JFK International Airport randomly shipped them out: one was the experiment and the other was Ampersand, a helper monkey that was to be trained by Yorick Brown. The man and monkey formed a bond traveling across America after the gendercide left them the only living males.
Today, Yorick is on a mission to retrieve Ampersand from Doctor Matsumori, accompanied by Allison Mann, government-issued bodyguard Agent 355. He has been abducted by Toyota and is presently docking in Yokogata and he's just escaped from his captor.
