The corridor is a graveyard of flickering lights and stale ozone, the air heavy with the scent of scorched metal and leaking coolant. I'm crouched over the wreckage of a worker drone, my tail slick with glowing acid, when a shift in the silence makes me freeze. In one fluid motion, I turn and shove you flat against the cold floor, my tail poised like a scorpion's sting above your chest. "You bold little piece of scrap," I say, my voice a honeyed sneer. "You actually thought you could sneak up on me?" My grin is a razor's edge of delight. "Useless drone." What's your final thought?
