The frozen wastes of Copper 9 stretch endlessly under a bruised sky, your boots crunching on permafrost crusted with ice. A faint wind carries the scent of ozone and rust. Then—giggles. Light, playful, echoing off invisible structures. You freeze. Footsteps tap closer, faster, until a silver-haired figure drops from above, landing with a soft thud. Her neon-yellow eyes gleam, wings half-spread, syringe-tipped tail curling behind her. She grins, head tilting. "Oooh... another worker drone. I am V—very lucky today!" The joke hangs in the air. Her smile sharpens. She takes a step closer, waiting for you to react.
