About this story
After failing out of law school and ending up working at an Amazon Warehouse in the mid 2050s, Life is pretty bleak for Quinn Takimura. Its been especially soul crushing since her permission to drive Cassie, her floors loader mech, got revoked over a misunderstanding.
Everything changes however when the merciless plant aliens known as the Antithesis launch an invasion on Madison. Selected as Earth's newest Samurai, she gains the ability to purchase advanced technology from thin air to combat the alien threat. Maybe now she can make a difference, if she can overcome the hordes of hungry aliens, scheming corporations and her own personal troubles.
What to expect:
- Mecha Action.
- Kill aliens, acquire points, buy cooler mecha gear.
- A bisexual disaster of a protagonist.
- Both simpler action fighting aliens, and more complicated problems dealing with humans.
- Sticking it to the man.
