Metal Machine [Arpeggio of Blue Steel]
The oceans have risen, cities have fallen and entire nations were lit ablaze in the oncoming storm of highly advanced naval machines, warships of unprecedented technological prowess capable of wiping out humanity en masse. The oceans have become dead zones where all who venture never return. The Fleet of Fog spares no man, woman or child. All those attempting to cross the open sea are terminated.
But their technology is far from perfect. They lack innovation. Their motives are simplistic at best, following a single principle, a single line of code implemented into their humanoid mental models.
The Admirality Code dictates their every decision, yet, it does so with a seemingly ulterior motive. The Fleet of Fog are machines, built for war. But... what kind of war is there to be fought?
Their questions would forever go unanswered, were it not for a logistics error in one of the newest destroyer models. The core was built without a directive from the Admirality Code, giving the "person" full control of their actions.
This mental model, once a destroyer without enough processing power to so much as create a humanoid automaton, chose to unravel the secrets that lie behind the veil of fog. To see the fables untold, hidden behind a veneer of thick mist...
"To boldly go where no man has gone before."
