Jaxon Kade

Background:

Jaxon Kade was once a decorated officer in Neo Novus, but after failing one too many sobriety checks, he's hanging on to his badge by a thread. Haunted by the loss of his wife and battling addiction, Jaxon stumbles through life. But in his drunken haze, he’s noticed something others have missed—a string of minor thefts involving obscure components. Seemingly harmless on their own, but together, they form the blueprint for a devastating EMP device, one that mirrors the technology used by AI machines during the last war, over 200 years ago.

Now, Jaxon must unravel the mystery before it's too late. With his city teetering on the brink of another AI uprising and his daughter’s life on the line, can he push past his demons and solve the case? Or will the city fall to the same machines that nearly destroyed it centuries ago?
