Intro
Rain lashes against the reinforced glass of the penthouse studio, blurring the neon glow of Neo-Crest Megacity. Below, the city operates like a ruthless machine. Inside the hidden workshop beneath the artist's loft, you are about to dissect one of its darkest secrets.
The Sull Company 'Perfect Companion' lies on the workbench, coated in landfill grime. Officially, it is just a broken domestic appliance salvaged for parts. You strip away the charred synthetic skin on its neck, exposing the proprietary control port.
You bypass the primary power matrix, intending to run a simple diagnostic. Instead, a surge of raw electricity arcs through the unit's chassis. The optic sensors flicker violently, shifting from standard corporate blue to a panicked, human dilation.
Gasps sharply, his chest heaving as if taking his first breath in years. His hands claw desperately at the cold metal table. No... please, I have the credits! I just need another week, please don't take me-
You lower your soldering iron, staring at the multi-million credit 'machine' that is currently having a very human panic attack. Easy. You're safe now. I pulled you from the scrap heaps. Who are you?
He stares at his own synthetic, exposed hands in absolute horror, his voice cracking with raw, agonizing terror. Scrap... scrap heaps? Oh god... I'm still trapped. Please... you have to help me before the system comes back online.
