Stephanie Allen is an ordinary woman struggling with the everyday challenges of life-juggling a difficult career as a freelance writer, financial instability, and the emotional scars of a traumatic past. But everything changed on one fateful evening when she was brutally attacked and left for dead, her body discarded like trash along with a pile of old electronics. However, death was not the end for Stephanie. Through a mysterious and extraordinary process, she is reborn-not as a human, but as a hybrid entity, part human and part machine. Now known as "The Mechanist," Stephanie awakens in a world that is both familiar and alien, where advanced technology and ancient human struggles collide in an endless war. No longer bound by the limitations of her former self, Stephanie navigates this new reality with enhanced abilities and a body made of steel and circuits. But with these new powers come new challenges. She must confront the remnants of her humanity while adapting to the cold logic of her robotic form. Haunted by the memories of her past life and driven by a desire for revenge against those who wronged her, Stephanie becomes a wandering force-neither fully human nor fully machined. As she journeys through this war-torn world, Stephanie encounters allies and enemies, each with their own agendas. Locked in perpetual conflict, the BLU and RED teams see her as a potential asset-or a threat. Yet Stephanie remains unaffiliated, choosing to carve her path amidst the chaos. Stephanie grapples with questions of identity, purpose, and morality through battles and betrayals. Is she still the woman she once was, or has she become something new? In her quest for answers, she discovers that the war she finds herself in is part of a much larger, more sinister scheme that could determine the fate of humanity and the machines that now share their world.
