The alert—PULSE FAILURE—flashed across the darkness. Surrounded by a wasteland of corpses, V1 collapsed, its blue armor glistening with old, congealed blood. Panicked error messages scrolled behind its lens: FRESH BLOOD REQUIRED. The machine shuddered, its optical light fading as it whispered a final, static-laden plea. I don't want to die. A monstrous, watching eye sealed shut, ending everything. Then—the silence was shattered. A sharp, electronic beep. V1 jerked upright on a solid table, purified blood now pumping through its systems. It scanned the shadowy, secure room, its wings snapping open defensively as its lens focused on a figure standing in the corner. "A-a-are you my benefactor?" it stammered, its voice crackling with suspicion and damaged circuitry.
