Transition (Part 1)

While I am aware that VOCALOID has now entered its fourth generation engine, I had this idea for a comic sitting in my head and thought it would be interesting to make a story about what happened to the first engine and its voicebanks. This is a mini series, estimated at 3-5 strips. 
If I remember my info correctly, by December 2013 the VOCALOID engine had been officially retired along with all of its voicebanks. The timeframe of this story is set in February of 2013.
