Summary
Mecha Man is dead.
Well, not permanently. That would require Robert to actually stay dead, and so far he hasn't found a method that will really stick. His suit is broken beyond his monetary capabilities to repair, however, so his hero career is as close to dead as it's ever been. He's just about to consider switching tactics, trying to become a hero without the suit when he's given a proposition. Become a dispatcher for SDN, and they'll give him everything he needs to fix his suit. To become Mecha Man again.
Of course he accepts. However, he doesn't realize that the job not only expects him to turn the most hardheaded, stubborn, pieces of shit villains into heroes, but also throws him directly into the path of the one family friend he's been avoiding for 15 years. With a budding crush on the local beefy tech wizard and corporate threatening to dismantle his team before they can really get started, Robert's faced with what appears to be a Sisyphean task. However, he knows he can survive long enough to become Mecha Man again.
After all, it's so much easier to survive when nothing can kill you in the first place.

Summary
Mecha Man falls, but the Phoenix program never existed to catch him.
Without friends or the mech suit, Robert Robertson is desperate and reduced to his last options when one of Shroud’s lieutenants hunts him down in his apartment…one whose strange augments give him an idea.
Robert is done with the high road. He’s ready to do what he has to do to take his city back.
*
“If he dies, he dies,” Shroud said slowly. “If he survives…then Mecha Man can watch his city burn. Without the astral pulse, that suit is worthless. I don’t care about him.”
The astral pulse.
If Chad could find it, then it could be the solution to his problems. If he could find it, he could fix everything.
