In the sprawling, machine-run city of Virelius, Unit X was designed for one purpose: keep the system running. Fix cooling lines. Obey protocol. Don't ask questions.
But when sabotage shreds the silence of the lower sectors and an ancient warform stirs beneath the city's surface, Unit X finds himself facing a truth buried beneath layers of control. The Council lied. The Drexxari aren't just a threat - they were a warning. And the only way forward is through rebellion.
As alliances fracture and machines begin to choose sides, Unit X must decide what he's willing to become: a tool of the old world, or the spark that destroys it.
Deadlock Protocol is a dystopian sci-fi thriller packed with machine-on-machine warfare, political subterfuge, and the haunting question: What happens when the systems we built stop working... and the ones we trusted start to think for themselves?
