Hmm only thing you got wrong (Maybe?) was the warriors fighting machines. The overlords...like a good game of RTS (Real Time Strategy, you can look up what that is). But instead of using video games they have to enslave children and turn them into husks lacking any of their former selves. Built to suit the needs of some kind of military unit in their twisted and bloody game.

A glitch in the memory suppression is possible. And in fact did happen in one point of the book. The "child" could remember everything and begged to die. It was a rather disturbing scene. We can go our own way of course, and I do like your idea. If you're willing to play that warrior.

Do you plan to double up on characters? Or maybe in a twist of fate you end up helping my escape, like they couldn't hunt me down like they should have. And so we pair up, eventually stumbling about the AI or "his children".
