Description
I felt that I can show you this now that I'm a good ways into the second draft. This is the decided on image of the title character in my NaNoWriMo 2010 Project, a one-off piece that salvaged a discarded Blood and Metal plot idea.

In this salvaged story, a heroic figure is found near death by a group of robots, and is turned into a robot him or herself to lead them. This figure, the Command Unit, is the latest in the line of leaders, but this one is very different from the previous CUs, especially the last one who brought the whole world down to war and polluted the environment. This CU is sort of an Anti-Robotnik, planting trees and filtering water and air, repairing the damage caused by the war and their former ways. Research and Development go into overdrive as wounds both visual and spiritual were healed by beings the humans were accustomed to fear. In fact, three children stumbled into the Robot World and found their new ways first hand.

At first, the person who became this Command Unit would be Eric Krockett himself, after the original BAM-style reveal and an act of treachery from Nicolas. But now that this story is taken from BAM and put in its own world, a new character can be put in his place.

Meet Command Unit Delta.

She was a conservationist who refused to believe that the environment of the world around her is irreparably destroyed. (In the real world, she would dismiss the hysteria, if not the entire theory, of Global Climate Change. In other words, she’d think that Al Gore is nuts.) If she had enough skills, material, and like-minded people, she could actually repair the damage caused by not just human’s own actions, but also by the robots in Gynoidon and its Command Units Beta and Gamma. But nobody wanted to hear her out until she was found in a bloody heap by the remaining robots that survived Command Unit Gamma’s death. (Think EMP. Seen one of those go off in Modern Warfare 2? They’re not pretty.) As the fourth Command Unit to Gynoidon, her body transformed into a glowing white nanites-based angelic being and her mind reaching out to every drone, sensor, and android on the planet, she has the ability and the desire to fulfill her wishes.

Will she succeed? Will the other humans allow her? And how much of the robots in Gynoidon are actually on board?

And will Chaos Croc find her not only as desireable as Sally Acorn, but surprisingly hard to get? (I see him try it only to find out some surprises that keep him from taking over him, but also to find out that she doesn't like robots that get fresh on her. I'd love to see a Croc/Delta war in the boards.

Oh, and the Iron Nicole look, that was intentional. Who else loved what Nicole wore when she was under the Iron Dominion?
