    Our story takes place in a dystopian timeline where scientists have discovered an algorithm which controls all life proving all religions wrong and making most convert to math for all of life's answers. These folks, known now as mathematicians, soul spiritual purpose is to make sure everyone is following their predetermined destiny drawn out by their new found "god", The Cosmic Algorithm.

    Life is still mostly the same but now with the absence of a greater question, meaning, purpose, (ie. "What is the meaning of life?") folks lead relatively dull existences involving living exactly how the Algorithm wants you to live.

    Among the masses stands an average aging electronic musician named Corporal Quigg. Tired of the mundane routine he has been given to lead day to day by The Cosmic Algorithm, he slowly turns numb to life and living.

    One day he finds and falls in love with MIDI. MIDI, being the breath of fresh air needed, truly makes Corporal Quigg happy until the moment he realizes he is not compatible with MIDI, at least not according to the Cosmic Algorithm which requires everything living or inanimate to add up properly and if they do not add up properly they are to be destroyed.

    Directly disobeying the Cosmic algorithm has never ended well for anyone or anything as most that oppose the math are met with death. Corporal Quigg decides that his love for MIDI is worth the fight and their mutual love is more important than any scientists discovery of a higher intelligent life form and decides to try his hand in changing the code for himself designed by the Cosmic algorithm using the capabilities of his new love MIDI to do it.

    Can Corporal Quigg crack the code or will he become the next victim of The Cosmic Algorithm?

lyrics

Like Grace Jones I felt a slave to the rhythm. Gonna try my hand against the algorithm.

Im so tired of the wake work sleep routine. Time to show this equation what living really means. day after day living life like Bill Murray. this repeated patterns gonna feel my fury. Im so tired of this Groundhogs Day like living I guess ill have to math a way to make these numbers give in. Stuck in a loop like a record with a skip. Forever in a measure that will endlessly persist. Doin what I can just to break out of the cycle. Gone teach the algorithm whose word is final.

Ive tried all I can I feel ill never solve the problem. Fight the algorithm and come out on the bottom. I tried my hand at the algorithm and the algorithm made me its next victim.
