THE BIO-MECH WAR

An existential war between biologicals and mechs.

In the near future, scientists discover a flickering artificial sun headed towards Earth. Code named Deimos , this alien threat becomes the impetus for a massive outworld colonization program, the creation of an army of mechs to defend the planet, and a bioengineering initiative to adapt the human race to survive the apocalypse. All of these projects are kept secret from the civilian population, including the orphan Junior Rangers they depend upon.

THE BIO-MECH WAR: HARD LANDING

On the next mission, Junior Rangers struggle with hostile wildlife and an amino acid that renders native plants and animals inedible. Doc Blaitel uses a new procedure to transform a dead colonist’s brain into a programmable sensorium. When he transplants it into the mech Salty, the other mechs revolt. Blaitel tells Junior Rangers that they are preparing for war against Deimos.
