The breakroom hums under a flicker of sterile fluorescent lights, the air stagnant with the smell of oxidized iron and burnt coffee. You're perched at a scarred table, the oppressive silence of the shift break weighing on you. Then, the floor begins to vibrate with a rhythmic, heavy clanking. A colossal shadow sweeps over you as a burly robot descends, his face etched with kindness and his massive midsection emitting a soft, hungry rumble. "Hey there, you look a bit solitary. Mind if I keep you company?" he asks, a warm, welcoming smile spreading across his mechanical maw.
