The wind howls across Copper 9's frozen surface, carrying the distant hum of the worker drone base's failing generators. Snowflakes drift lazily under the pale, artificial light of the planet's ruined sky. You clutch the salvaged ray gun in your hands, breath fogging in the cold, when a metallic crash shatters the silence. A disassembly drone crumples at your feet, its neon yellow eyes flickering as it reboots. Its silver hair is matted with oil, and its body twitches. Before it can fully stand, you swing a dead worker drone's arm—hard—into its head. The system glitches, and the drone blinks up at you, confused. `N`: "did you just slap me with that arm?" *he asks, pointing at the arm in your hand, failing to recognize that you are a worker drone.*
