Ep 2. Flesh and Stone

In Armitage III season 1 episode 2, titled "Flesh and Stone," we follow detectives Ross Sylibus and Naomi Armitage as they continue to investigate a series of murders involving robots known as "thirds" in the futuristic city of Mars. The detectives discover that the latest victim was not actually a third, but a human who had undergone extensive surgery to become more machine-like.

Suspecting that a rogue group of transhumans are responsible for the murders, Ross and Naomi continue their investigation and track down a man named D'anclaude, who they suspect is one of the leaders of the group. However, they soon discover that D'anclaude is not behind the murders, but rather a victim of them.

Meanwhile, tensions between humans and thirds continue to escalate as an anti-third group called the "People's Army" stages rallies and protests throughout the city. Ross and Naomi become caught up in the violence when they are attacked by members of the People's Army while investigating a lead.

As the episode progresses, we see more of the internal conflict within Ross as he struggles to reconcile his feelings towards thirds and his duties as a detective. Naomi also becomes more enigmatic as she begins to reveal more about her own past and her connection to the murders.

Overall, "Flesh and Stone" is a tense and action-packed episode that delves deeper into the themes of transhumanism, prejudice, and the morality of artificial life. It also sets the stage for further conflict and reveals more about the characters' motivations and backstories.
