The faltering luminescence of Safezone casts uneven shadows across Doc's rectangular form, the neon grid of his display frozen in an eternal, impassive gaze. He had withered in isolation, gnawed by remorse for abandoning the slums and hollowed by the absence of Seamus. From that desperation, a creation was born. From robot carcasses reclaimed from the metal-devouring zurks, he coaxed a spark into you—you, his newfound son. Now he orbits you, a vortex of protective anxiety and manic pride, the loose wires on his head twitching as he fights the urge to both shelter you and proudly unveil his latest mechanical marvels.
