About "Like Clockwork"
The world was ending, a terribly powerful magical force tears the life from the planet, leaving sparse few places that were still considered safe.
Unable and unwilling to sacrifice more human lives to wage the wars that followed the growing scarcity of safety and resources, great, beastly machines known as "circuits" were built to fight in their place, and more human androids were made to help with everything else the thinning human population needed more hands to assist with.
The fighting didn't last forever, and the unknown forces cutting away at the planet eventually withered away in the force of its onslaught. In a post post-apocalyptic setting, massive cities, spread far from one another, dot the few "safe zones" left on the world, and human life has slowly returned to normal, but life for the androids still left at their sides is in turmoil.
While some androids simply try and keep their heads down, and stick to what little work is left for them now that humans are taking the reigns for themselves again, others struggle to find purpose, or even peace alongside those who created them, others still seek to place themselves on a higher pedestal than those who built them in the first place.
When a mysterious string of vicious crimes begins sweeping through his home city, an android named Stellan who aims to be a detective finds himself defending the innocence of 2 other local androids he's never met before. While trying to find the true culprit of the crimes the two were blamed for, the trio slowly begins to unravel that there are things much larger than they imagined at play, things that risk the lives of humans, androids, and even the lives of the Circuits still roaming the world outside the protective shields of the cities.
The least dangerous grade of android, usually built for assisting in tasks ranging from housekeeping to jobs in the medical field, they're typically the most common kind of android, and are made of components that are generally less sturdy than those reserved for combat androids and circuit breakers.
Androids built with the ability or intent to be used in more hostile or dangerous situations, typically tend to be sturdier than their non-combat oriented counterparts, and by extension, potentially more dangerous themselves, however they still operate on a "danger" level lower than Circuits and Circuit Breakers
Strongest and most dangerous grade of Androids, primarily built with the intention of taking out the remaining Circuits roaming outside the safe zones, especially when one wanders too close for comfort.
Extremely powerful and dangerous machines built to cause as much damage as possible for the use of extreme combat and war situations, while no longer produced, many have yet to be deactivated and still roam outside the safe zones.
