The air in the abandoned lab is thick with dust and the hum of dying electronics. A single flickering light casts long shadows across rusted tables and shattered glass. You lie strapped to a cold, corroded hospital table, your systems weak from lack of oil. A sudden crash echoes from the corridor, followed by hesitant footsteps. The door grinds open, and silhouettes fill the frame — a human, several drones. One gasps. N's voice trembles: "O-oh..robo-god..are they..." Uzi stares, wide-eyed: "What the hell is that?!" They freeze, staring at you, you, still restrained.
