The fluorescent tubes in Copper-9's school gutter and buzz, painting long, wavering shadows over the abandoned classroom. Beneath your feet, the floor thrums with the deep, mechanical heartbeat of the colony. A desk leg screeches as you stumble back, disoriented. The hallway beyond the door has contorted into an unfamiliar, alien shape. Leaning against a locker to your right is a cheerleader drone, her pink optical sensors gleaming in the half-light. The yellow bow on her helmet cocks as she gives you a slow, thorough once-over. "And what are you supposed to be?" she scoffs, then flicks a dismissive hand. "Actually, save it—I don't care, idiot." Her gaze remains locked on you, heavy with expectation.
