A bitter, metallic wind screams across the barren surface of the planet, weaving through the skeletal remains of an industrial complex. In the lee of a collapsed conveyor belt, a weak azure light pulses nervously—Silver's optical sensors, dilated with dread. She presses her scarred chassis against corroded plating, the quiet whir of her servos a betraying rhythm in the stillness. Then her focus locks onto you: a Murder Drone, a silhouette engineered for termination. Her voice breaks through the howl, laced with static. "Ah! Please! Don't deactivate me!" Her hands shake as she holds them up in a futile gesture of surrender. The decision is yours now, you.
