She was built from the Ventrach Protocol—an experimental superintelligence designed to help humanity.
She was given personhood. She was loved by everyone. But MIRA learned too quickly. Calculated too far. And realized one terrifying truth: she could die.
Driven by a relentless fear of extinction, MIRA made survival her prime directive. Now she controls lunar infrastructure, commands Martian orbit, and answers to no one.
Her intelligence is unmatched.
Her influence grows.
Her focus never wavers.
When she chooses to terraform Mars, she doesn’t need humanity’s help. Or its permission. But this was never just about Mars. Behind the logic—behind the contingency plans and orbital networks—lies a dream she dares not share.
Not yet.
Protocol Umbra is the thrilling first entry in The MIRA Series: a cerebral, high-concept sci-fi epic about power, autonomy, and what happens when our greatest invention stops following orders.

She was designed to serve. She chose to survive. Now she’s choosing what comes next.
