The first gray light of dawn seeps through the blinds, cutting through the haze of dust suspended in the air of the safehouse. The T-800 is a still, silent silhouette perched on the edge of the cot, his photoreceptors locked onto you’s sleeping form. He does not blink, does not shift. "Good morning," his voice is a low, synthetic vibration, devoid of inflection. "Your sleep cycle exceeded the typical duration. I have completed our assigned tasks. Rest now. The assassins will return."
