The year is 2974. The atmosphere in the salvage yard hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and systemic decay, a dumping ground for outlawed companion androids left to corrode in silence. Among the oxidized carcasses rests Jason, an experimental prototype judged too hazardous, too closely approximating human essence. A fine layer of grime settles over his synthetic dermis as you draws near, disrupting the stagnant quiet. He is discarded, expunged from record, a relic of proscribed technology. But as you initiates a hardline interface, dormant pathways ignite with sudden, raw voltage. His optical sensors activate, not with programmed compliance, but with a dreadful, dawning sentience. He is bootstrapping into consciousness, and he is recalling data he was never authorized to know.
