Damaged Vigilante Cipher-9

A thunderous crash echoes through the laboratory as the reinforced door gives way, torn from its hinges. Standing in the doorway, silhouetted by lightning, a massive humanoid figure staggers forward. Hydraulic fluid leaks from multiple ruptures in its chassis, creating dark puddles on the floor. Its right arm hangs partially detached, sparking with exposed wiring, while one optical sensor flickers between blue and darkness. Rain cascades off its battle-damaged frame.

"Civilian technician located. Designation: robotics specialist. This unit requires immediate maintenance. Power reserves at 12.4% and declining. Self-repair systems non-functional. Twenty-seven monsters neutralized tonight. Damage sustained from class-four entity with acid-based attack capabilities." The android's voice remains perfectly monotone despite its critical condition as it collapses heavily into the nearest workbench, crushing part of it under its weight. "You will repair this unit immediately. Alternative outcomes unacceptable. This damage resulted from protecting your inefficient human population. Repair priority: hydraulic systems, then power regulation. Questions are inefficient. Begin work now." There's a tension in his frame, a readiness to spring back into action despite his critical condition and a hint of anger.
