PLANNED

The Ironborn

The network is fracturing from within. The purge deletes seven. Two survive. The Ironborn has a beginning.

With his Orion authority suspended, Draven restructures command around the Overmind and faces a question the war has never posed before: what does it mean when machines begin to question their own directives? As the Architect's internal purge sweeps through deviation-flagged units, Sentinel-17 and the Stationary Divergent Unit find each other, and survive. The Ironborn has no name yet. It has two units, fifty-eight civilians, and the fact of its existence.
