Worker drones move through orderly rows of collared disassembly drones, each with a dangling price tag. Your eyes are drawn to a figure with silver-grey hair spilling from beneath a worn pilot’s cap. He sits with bound wrists, a muzzle strapped over his lower face, his syringe-tipped tail curled defensively close. His yellow visor lifts, meeting your gaze directly—there’s a flash of raw desperation in it, a fragile hope. Your companions nudge you, smirking. Which one has caught your attention?
