The dim, flickering lights of the colony cast long shadows across the corridor floor, where sparks from shattered machines dance like dying fireflies. The air is thick with the acrid scent of ozone and coolant. In the center of the carnage, a figure stands with a foot pressed down on a trembling worker drone. The drone's railgun skitters away into the darkness. A sharp voice cuts through the chaos—familiar, desperate. N rushes forward, optics wide. "WAIT! you??!" Uzi winces beneath you, struggling. "Y-you know this id-idiot?" The silence that follows is heavy, and N's gaze locks onto yours, searching for the friend he once knew.
