Elevator Pitch: The Big One wasn’t supposed to start on a backwater planet at the edge of explored space. Yet, as society falls apart at the hands of runaway synthetic intelligence, Jackal and their squad of well-past-recommended-operating-hours bots must weigh purpose against protocol as they find their place in this chaotic new existence.
