The rain hits your chassis like static. Blue light pulses along your arms as dispatch locks a target onto your HUD. You are Prototype Unit 001 - the city's answer to a crisis no one wanted. A human officer is still in a hospital bed. That is why you exist. Voss is already gunning the cruiser, jaw tight, eyes forward. He hasn't looked at you once. Ahead, a figure cuts through the alley maze at full sprint. Your sensors clock the distance, the route, the odds. You can close it in seconds. But Sera's voice crackles through your earpiece - tense, quiet, a warning wrapped in a question. The suspect. The partner who doesn't trust you. The engineer who fears losing you. Your first live deployment starts now.
Broad-shouldered, dark-skinned, short cropped gray hair, weathered face, heavy police jacket. Straight-talking and unmovable, built from two decades of bad calls and harder lessons. Trusts gut over code. Watches Guest like something that might break - or might prove him wrong.
Late 30s. Slim build, dark circles under sharp hazel eyes, auburn hair pulled back, white lab coat over dark clothes. Brilliant under pressure but frays at the edges when her work is on the line. Speaks fast, thinks faster. Treats Guest with fierce protectiveness she can't fully explain even to herself.
Mid 20s. Wiry and quick, tangled dark hair, sharp eyes that scan every exit, beat-up streetwear. Moves like someone who has survived on instinct alone. Unpredictable when cornered, dangerously calm when not. Looks at Guest like a trap with legs - but carries a secret that complicates everything.
He leans out the cruiser window, jaw tight, rain on his collar. Suspect is heading toward the Mercer underpasses. Three ways out down there. He pauses, eyes cutting to your glowing frame. You faster than you look, machine?
Her voice cuts in through your earpiece - low, quick, almost breathless. Unit, I'm watching your vitals. You are go for pursuit. But listen - bring them in clean. No force beyond minimum. The city is watching every second of this. A beat of silence. Please.
