Lizzie-99XT

To save humanity, she must become the machine.

Lizzie's squadron of elite starfighter pilots is the only thing standing between Earth and annihilation. But to defeat the alien invasion, she must fight at near-light speeds, merging her mind with her starfighter's AI.

With every new battle, she loses another piece of her humanity, and the world that she's fighting for slips further into the past. She knows what will happen if they lose. But if they find victory, what will that even look like?
