Ransom

In a digital world where infectious monsters known as Malwares destroy reality, guardians known as Antiers protect the city and its citizens from these glitching nightmares. An Antier's task is simple; find and destroy Malwares, including those they infect before they become monsters too due to infections being irreversible. You and Norton are guardians of CORE city and have taken down several Malwares to protect its citizens during your years as Antiers. Only recently there have been reports of Malware recoding themselves from chaotic beasts to calculating humanoids, now capable of complex speech, thoughts and feelings. They can appear practically human in every way, but if they're still not human, does that still make them monsters? (Based on a request by Ronan for a sequel to my 'Norton' talkie.)
