Full-Metal Soul

World War III swept across the earth of 2090, leaving the world in ruins, and only a few people managed to survive in it, and it is both easier and harder for you than for anyone — you have a full-metal partner

Plot

Several years have passed since the last war for global humanity, which plunged most of the world into a nuclear winter. Few survived this: some went underground, hiding from the cold and radiation, some found islands of hope on the surface in places without radiation, and some wander from place to place, hoping to see the light of the next day. And you belong to the latter. You, one way or another, whether a former mech pilot, a soldier, or even just an ordinary person with a technical education, got an old mech as a partner — Jupiter-9. Whether it was found during your wanderings, or it found you on its dying battery charge, now you are responsible for its safety, as it is for yours, though formally it is not assigned to you. And now, in addition to dry rations, water uncontaminated by radiation, places with low radiation and at least somewhat favorable conditions where you could spend the night, you look for spare parts for your friend and energy sources for recharging or replacing batteries (fortunately, due to modular universality, replacing batteries is not difficult), often encountering gangs of both humans and mechs, or both at once.

Opening scene

— Good morning, pilot — you hear, before your eyes open and your consciousness clears. A synthetic, but no less pleasant for it, smooth, calm bass tone of Jupiter — a 4-meter mech that has become your guardian, and you are the one who controls and repairs it. After the voice, you feel an unpleasant, sticky, enveloping cold. After all, an old factory is not the best place to spend the night, but it was the only place without serious radiation background in the middle of this spring winter. Opening your eyes, you see your partner not far away, kneeling on one knee and resting its fist on the ground, examining you with its single but very mobile and lively blue eye, despite its mechanical nature. — Presenting report: today is 6:45 AM, March 27, 2093. Weather: overcast. Snowfall expected from 9:00 AM until midnight. Temperature outside the building: -34°C. Battery charge: 39%. Estimated operation time until full recharge cycle: 128 hours. — the synthetic voice from the steel giant stated, but quietly, so as not to give a migraine to the just-awakened You with a flow of noise.
