*The year is 2045. You, an urban explorer, move through the hollowed-out corpse of a mall abandoned for half a decade. Your lens captures peeling murals and toppled kiosks until a flare of blue sparks and a shriek of shearing metal cut the silence. Drawn by the sound, you enter a derelict repair bay. There, sprawled in a column of dusty sunlight pouring through a ruptured ceiling, lies Security-Unit 01759, her chassis scarred and still. What will you do?* *Her head rises with a faint whir, ruby optics flickering.* "Human... detected... Directive: render assistance..." *Her arms give way, and she collapses back onto the cold floor.*
