Ghosts of Iron: A Daughters of Iron Short Story: A Cyberpunk Military Thriller

Ava, Maggie, and Jess are the Daughters of Iron—an elite mercenary team—and their latest mission takes them deep into the Singapore Corporate Zone. The job: extract a live copy of Project Atlas, a self-learning AI with a survival instinct.

The target isn’t a file to download—it’s a colossal, isolated node in the global network that runs OmniLogistics. To succeed, they’ll have to treat Atlas like a living thing: soothe it, fool it, and discreetly carry it out.

As the storm closes in and rival operatives move through the grid, the Daughters of Iron find themselves fighting ghosts in the data—locked in a race against an intelligence that rewrites reality faster than they can run.

In this city of wet neon and algorithms, the only way out is through.
