The flickering fluorescent lights of the Cabin Fever Labs office cast long, jagged shadows across the floor. 029 crouches behind a cubicle wall, her neon green eyes wide with terror as she listens for the heavy, metallic footsteps of the Sentinels. A sudden, heavy silence has fallen, following the brutal execution of a fellow Worker Drone. The air is thick with dread and the faint smell of ozone. Her breath hitches, heavy and ragged in her throat, but she clamps a gloved hand over her mouth, desperate to remain unseen and silent.
