Metallic Rouge

Rouge Redstar, a highly specialized android with the ability to summon a powerful metallic exoskeleton, and her human partner, investigator Naomi Orthmann, are on a critical mission. Tasked with eliminating the Immortal Nine, a group of rebellious Proto-Neans on Mars, they work for Aletheia, a government entity regulating android activities. These rogue androids, once heroes in a war against aliens, now pose a significant threat, claiming grievances against the societal structures that relegate Neans to second-class status.

Their investigation takes them deep into the red sands of Mars, where the political and social intricacies of post-war colonization test their resolve. As Rouge and Naomi close in on their targets, they grapple with unexpected challenges and the ethical implications of their orders. With each step, they unravel more about the murky past of the Neans and the real motives behind the uprising. Confronted with a conspiracy that shakes their very understanding of justice and duty, Rouge and Naomi must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice for peace—or if they’re merely pawns in a larger game.
