Darius was a former military engineer who discovered an alien artifact during a classified mission. After reverse-engineering it into a powerful exosuit, he vowed to protect his city from threats beyond conventional forces. A near-future, high-tech version of Atlanta called Nova Atlanta, a city on the brink of collapse due to rising tech-crime and a shadowy organization known only as The Shroud.
The hum of the city was different at three in the morning. Less like a pulse, more like a
breath being held. From the rooftop of the old Fulton Rail Depot, Sentinel knelt at the
edge, scanning the alley below with a lens that saw through walls, heat, sound, and lies.
Nova Atlanta didn’t sleep anymore. Not since The Shroud crept into the bones of the
city—black market tech lords, ex-military ghosts, rogue AI clusters. Darius Holt had
once been a man in the service of war, but tonight he was something else. Inside the
exosuit, he was Sentinel—a hybrid of flesh, code, and armor forged from a decision he
could never undo.
