Of Drones and Logic

Dead End

The sound of a VHS tape being inserted was heard before we see the screen flash up. The title "JcJenson in spaaaaacee!!" Appeared on the screen before a new title appeared below it, a project name.

Project Scorn.

The screen changes to what Copper-9 looked like before its core collapse.

"As you all know, JcJenson has had many major discoveries over the years of Copper-9's excavation of its ores and metals but none of them could compare to one of our most recent discoveries excavated by our worker drones."

The scene changes to a group of humans studying a massive robot body of sorts.

"The worker drones have found a giant robot built with unknown technology buried beneath the ice. Our scientists had the robot disassembled and examined. Our scientists were fascinated by with strange robot's parts and mechanics and have decided to utilise the knowledge they have gathered to begin a new generation of Sentinels: Project Scorn. What is a Sentinel, you may ask?"

The screen then shows a robot velociraptor with six glowing blue eyes facing sideways.

"Sentinels are a special type of drone that were modelled after the velociraptor, designed to hunt down and disassemble normal kinds of drones. They are fast moving drones equipped with a light that leaves a drone into a forced reboot. Now with Project Scorn, we are able to create Sentinels with an improved design.

The screen then shows a robot Spinosaurus with six glowing blue eyes also facing sideways next to the robot raptor.

"These new Sentinels are modelled after the Spinosaurus, a dinosaur well known for its size, strength and the sail on its back. Due to being larger than the average Sentinel, the Sentinels of Project Scorn are slower than their smaller counterparts. However, they make up for it for their physical power and bite force. With Project Scorn, we are certain that if any drone of any kind would rebel, they would not stand a chance against our new generation of Sentinels."

The screen begins to fizzle and become fuzzy as the robot Spinosaur's blue eyes changed to a red colour before the screen suddenly goes black.

It wasn't long until the screen changes to a man in a lab coat as we hear faint screaming in the background.

"Final log. In relation: SC-87, the final product of Project Scorn. The Sentinels have completely gone out of control and are killing every human that falls within their field of vision. Of course, everyone is afraid and confused on why the Sentinels suddenly went berserk. Some think they are suffering from a malfunction, others believe their systems have been hacked. But I know the truth; what's happening in the facility, the deaths, the bloodshed, the fear and panic filling my co-workers, all of it, is no doubt HIS doing."

The man's head suddenly turns towards the door when the sound of gunfire was heard as well as a snarling roar. The man quickly looks back at the camera.

"I told them to reconsider, I told them to pull the plug on Project Scorn while we still had the chance but they didn't listen and now HE has turned the Sentinels against us. The way he's recently been disobedient and aggressive towards us humans and how the other Sentinels have been treating him as their alpha showed me that it was only a matter of time before he finally rebelled and strip away our control of the Sentinels because I was the only one who saw what he was becoming. What he was evolving into."

A loud banging sound was then heard from the locked door behind the man.

"Listen, whoever finds this tape, you need to leave this facility immediately! If you don't then he'll-"
