8 parts Complete MatureWe saw artificial inteligence turn against its maker, we saw them "get a soul" and stand up alongside their maker but what if?
This story tells a tale somewhere in the future in a time when cloning, androids and space fairing is part of everyday life. Humans are fractured into smaller factions, one of them is the Old World's Core, the technologically superior and more stable systems, where people, despite the recessions and constant wars live in peace and harmony, no matter who or what you are. The other bigger faction is the Unknown Worlds' and The Outskirts' systems, warmongering, in-fighting, chaotic forces with far bigger army and resources. Finally those who are neutral, with their local militaries.
One thing is certain, on the ground they use armies, tanks and Verticals (they're mechs, just having a fancy name for them) while the space battles are done with spaceships (duh). In this situation, we'll follow the "life" of an android, the first military oriented mech Pilot, one of the many, code name: EVAs (Experimental Vertical Anima). They're funded and manufactured inside OWC territory but some were stolen, corrupted, converted or went AWOL. over the decades, EVAs were phased out by the ADAMs (Anima-Differential compensator Automaton (Male-template), however, these were far behind their predecessors by proccessing power and independence, so much so that they had to work with a human pilot but in turn they were cheaper and given they had male appearance, the whining part of the population was satified that now not just "women" were used in automated combat [yep, we didn't change THAT much]. Since that day, when the first automated Verticals first clashed and the OWC lost their most valuable system, a piece treaty was signed. This is the day when the unionised new calendar was formed, the Unionised Standard (UT). It's been 10 years since that day and the treaty was broken. This is where our story begins.
