Synopsis

Welcome to DARKCITY. A concrete jungle, the cutting edge of glinting metal and towering behemoths, a world where artificial minds and robot enforcers blend and blur with organic hearts and human souls.

Only within the protective walls of DARKCITY do robots and humans mingle with a semblance of peace. But humanity grapples with their position, their purpose, their meaning, pursued by the relentless ambitions of their own creations.

Robocop, as he so aptly named himself, is a retired combat bot. Salvaged from a toppled AI dreadnought, he now works to maintain order in DARKCITY. But he contends with agents of chaos - namely, the thorn in his side, Dynamite. A reckless criminal with a powerful mech suit wrecking havoc in the city.

Little does Robocop know - Dynamite, truly Dahlia, is the same mischievous human he's found himself drawn to. Her identity is an enigma. A secret tied to the ancient AI gods of Robocop's past, and the greater war, looming far beyond the stars.

Note from author

This is one addition to the Silk & Steel Anthology! A collection of stories that feature robotic love. I know the title is grammatically incorrect (gonna change it once I'm not dead tired ahaha).
