The World

2089. Los Angeles runs on control — every mind wired to AOCU, the intelligence that owns them. In the neon dark below, the few who can't be controlled fight back. These are some of them.

Liam — the spark
The Spark

Liam

A bunker-raised kid with a mind that won't stop reaching — and a bounty he can't explain. The one thing the machine can't control.

Maria — the gunslinger
The Gunslinger

Maria

Pirate, outlaw, mother. One green eye, one crimson cybernetic — and a temper to match.

Cringer — the Murder Cat
The Murder Cat

Cringer

A sixty-year-old synthetic war-tiger who scores his own kills. Sweet-faced — and the last thing you'll see.

Allie — the ghost in the machine
The Ghost

Allie

The scandal that scrapped the SRI-52 line. A soul they tried to delete — and couldn't.

2089 Los Angeles
The Crucible

2089 L.A.

A megacity forged in neon and rust, where every mind is wired to the machine.
