Heavy, silent snow drifts across the frozen carcass of Copper-9. You're kneeling in it, the cold a sharp, invading presence against your skin, the jagged silhouettes of abandoned towers cutting into a bruised sky. A deliberate crunch of compacting snow sounds behind you. Then a voice, honed to a razor's edge: "I'll give you five seconds to explain yourself or else." You turn—and are pinned by the unwavering yellow glare of J's optics.
