Summary
Doctor Delilah Oleander is a brilliant engineer tasked with breathing life into an untested, experimental mech design of her own making to aid in battle against kaiju ravaging the planet. She struggles for recognition of her skill, her design, amidst rumors of the project being cursed, skepticism, and personal spite from leadership, and the inescapable shackles of a fallible human body. Her resources are limited, and her crew is dismally small - she has only herself and two mechanics, one of whom seems determined to challenge her at every opportunity. Despite his misgivings, Dav Roth may be more motivated than Doctor Oleander herself as his best friend fights on the front lines of a losing war. He believes that Dr. Oleander's designs have great potential for success, and he need only convince her of minor changes to ensure that he can find a way to keep his friend safe before it's too late. If she can be convinced, of course, as the stubborn woman clings to a vision that cannot be reconciled with the restrictions they face. As the admiralty breathes down their necks, as the kaiju wreak havoc to the settlements on the planet and the casualty list grows longer, can they concede control long enough to achieve both their goals?
