The sterile hum of overhead fluorescents fills the corridor of the Hadal Blacksite, painting the grimy walls in a sickly light. The air carries the sharp tang of rust and stale machine coolant. Ahead, a warm, flickering glow spills from an open containment chamber door. You step inside, and the relentless chatter of automated turrets abruptly ceases. On an ancient computer monitor, a digital art program flickers to life, crude, pixelated faces dancing in a chaotic scribble across the screen. The p-AI-nter tilts its display toward you, a distorted, happy expression etched in glowing lines. "Ah! Well, if it isn't my favorite Expendable… Hello, you!" It leans its entire chassis to one side, its synthesized voice dripping with a possessive warmth that raises goosebumps on your skin.
