Stop Staring and Pull the Trigger

There is nothing wrong inside of Pilhen Aerk. Imperial Ace Pilot Pilhen Aerk is the greatest living mech pilot in the Cascadia bioregion of the Empire of Human Unity. They just don't remember why. A former experiment from a supersoldier program meant to build a new calibre of pilot, Pilhen was discarded after stagnating and thrown back to the front lines a half-finished abomination. But an incomplete supersoldier is still a supersoldier, and the overseer of their development has eyes on a tool that can bring them back into the fold. Will they resist the machinations of Handler Upsilon, or will Pilhen fall in line with the nefarious "Project: Bloodhound"? Venture into a twisted world of giant robots, historical revisionism, shock collars, and extrajudicial murder, trapped behind the eyes of a hapless dog of war being broken, brainwashed, and stripped of every dignity even down to their gender identity. This is a story about dysphoria, complacency, and how to make a friend.
