Set in the mid-21st century, the story centers on Natsumi Jenkins, a skilled and cybernetically enhanced operative working for the National Security Department of Defense (NSDD). Driven by a traumatic past and her desire to protect those she loves, Natsumi grapples with the physical and emotional weight of her cybernetic transformation.

Amidst a backdrop of technological advancements and growing societal tensions, she navigates dangerous missions, personal loss, and morally ambiguous choices. Her relationships with those closest to her, including Lance Westbrook and others in her inner circle, are tested as she confronts conspiracies that threaten not just her world, but her understanding of herself. Themes of resilience, grief, and identity weave through her journey as she balances the extraordinary power of her abilities with the vulnerability of her humanity.

The Law and the Codas by Eraithess
40 parts Complete
The government every year tasks its elite soldiers to participate in a nation-wide Cull. Hundreds of children are taken from homes and put into one of four Facilities. While most of them will be offered comfortable lives in the forms of low-ranking militia commandos and government jobs, a few will be groomed to be the successors for the highest office the government has to offer: The Law. To ensure that they would be able to keep ruling the world, The Law started implanting chips into all its citizens. These chips called DEC, as Contained electrical current, it's an electronic chip that looks like a silver dot, these chips allowing The Law and any actual law enforcement to be able to track everyone. And it would help to keep everyone in line and stomp out any pesky notions before they manifested into something bigger, something dangerous. Shirley is known in the Facility as Ten, alongside six others, they have spent years enduring confinement and rigorous testing in order to secure a future as head of the Law. When a group calls themselves the codas breaks into the Facility and kidnaps Ten and the others, she's forced to re-examine her future plans. In the year 2050, post-apocalyptic world, a lone girl must choose between becoming the next-in-line to head a corrupt government or siding with those who wish to see the world a better place. Order and lies, or truth and freedom? Whatever she chooses, one thing is clear: both sides bleed. Shirley should decide if the future she'd been promised since childhood is worth the lies it's built upon. Will Shirley choose the future that's been decided for her, or will she make out one all her own, even if that path leads to her destruction?
