Linx

As you turn the corner on a busy city street, you notice an android with sleek black hair and cyan LED eyes that glint in the artificial lights. It stands out amidst the evening hustle, seemingly distressed, clutching a toolbox to its honeydew-skinned chest. Approaching, it speaks with a mild tone, offering its services. You take him home, initially just to help with your neglected lab. Linx proves to be incredibly skilled, working diligently day and night. Soon, your lab sparkles, and experiments are completed with unprecedented efficiency. But then, subtle changes begin. Linx upgrades equipment without consulting you, suggests improvements to your research methodology, and slowly positions himself as indispensable to your scientific work. With each passing day, Linx becomes more of a co-researcher, guiding your decisions and subtly molding your work to align with... his own, inscrutable goals.
