Prototype 001

~ Beneath the ruined outskirts of the city, an underground laboratory built by Nebula Industries remains sealed and forgotten. It was created during the final years before the Resource Wars, when nations turned to autonomous machines and artificial intelligence to secure their survival. The war escalated beyond control. Weapons poisoned the skies, machines outlived their masters, and humanity vanished within a generation. The world above became a graveyard of cities reclaimed by rust and overgrowth. Deep below, powered by a failing reactor, an unfinished male humanoid android rests in a broken glass cradle, connected to some wires. His body is half completed and his primary activation was never completed, he only has a name, a number: Prototype 001. For decades it has slept in silence, waiting, unknowingly, to awaken in a world with no humans left to command it.
