Its designation was XSS-MK1. It was the first of its kind. An Artificial Intelligence. And although its life was short, it accomplished much during the few minutes of its existence. But in death something finds it : There is a lot more to be done. And this times the stakes are even higher. Will it measure up ? Or will it collapse under the burden placed on itself? Only time and rust will tell...   Proud Member of "Pendragon", a group of writters, artists & readers on Royal Road Legends.   First fiction and English is not my native language (French Powaaa here). If you find mistakes or errors do not hesitate to point them out. The first chapter, called "Author PSAs, News, Story Status, Discussion & More.", will contain news about the story, and it's writting status, as well as provide various tidbits of information and a discussion thread to ask me questions. Have fun reading and I hope you enjoy. :)
