[Wattys 2021 Shortlist]

Adam became an interstellar freight pilot to chase adventure in the stars, an obsession of his since his father left to do the same. Instead, all he's found in four years is routine and boredom.

When one of those routine jobs ends up crash-landing him and his artificially intelligent friend and colleague, MARI, on a hidden planet, he thinks he's finally found the excitement he's always desired. Instead, he quickly finds that this adventure may be more than he bargained for.

M.A.I.D.S. [season 1] by MACThree
18 parts Complete
[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).

🏆 Chosen as Sci-Fi Story of the Month by Wattpad's @ScienceFiction. 🏆 Featured on Wattpad's @ShortStory. 🏆X3 Awarded Best Science Fiction 🏆 Chosen as Book of the Month by @CroodsGirl Shadow and Steel: A Sci-Fi Short Story Series. In a time when mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine upon all. On the fringes of known space, survival is a brutal dance of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness. Meet a hustler chasing the next score; a doctor trying to mend a broken world; an enforcer wrestling his demons; and a pilot who bends the rules of the sky. Each fights their own battles, until their lives become entangled in a web of dangerous alliances, shifting loyalties, and interstellar power struggles. Caught between blaster shoot-outs, high-speed starship chases and an unforgiving universe that devours the weak, the line between good and evil is as blurred as the stars themselves. Because in the dark corners of space, you either bleed out in Shadow or carve your path on Steel.
