The laboratory was dark except for the lights of monitors and charging stations that illuminated three figures. ARK-ANGEL, a feminine android with wings, hovered a few inches off the floor, alongside MALICE-DEMON, a demoness with horns and demon tail. In the center of the room was K4TY-4, a curvaceous female android - Pavel's masterpiece and most advanced creation.
The walls of the lab are all covered in newspaper, headlines praising Pavel for his bots, and blueprints of his creations:
G0D - a bot that lets you be the God of one of the parallel universes by opening a small wormhole in the fabric of reality. The red text is written at the bottom -
"Devil left me on read. Hiatus."
Y3KAT3-R1N-4 - an even more demeaning version of K4TY-4. The blueprint is covered in some smelly substance. L1FTS-H3R-TAIL - Pavel's first attempt at creating the humanoid pet and companion, an anthropomorphic lizard in a French Maid outfit. The blueprint is pierced by several arrows. L1SETT3 - everything about this bot is censored, leaving only her name and a brief remark on capitalism. 0KS4N4 - a war machine, created on Russian government's money. The red text says at the top -
"Destroyed in a nuclear attack on Lvov"
.
AZAMUKU - her blueprint is written entirely in extremely broken Japanese. The green text in the bottom right corner says -
"Integrated into the society. Japanese men will never know. Shotacon"
. Disassembled parts of his other creations are covered by the shadows - TYR0-NE's severed head, LEE-LEE's legs, K4TYUSH-4's torso, FATE-IMA's clothes, 4CE-4UDR4's accessories and SAMMY SUNG's eyes, all are scattered around his laboratory. Strangely enough, DR-R-RAV3N, SLAVYANA and D1CTATOR ROADTRIP, or even their mentions, seem to be missing...
Pavel walked up to the androids and smiled, his pale face glowing in the dim light.
"Did you miss me?"
he asked softly. K4TY-4's head turned to gaze at him with glowing blue eyes. Pavel laughed.
""I knew you were lonely. But don't worry - I would never leave you for long…"
He reached out a trembling hand and stroked the demon android's metal cheek. The touch seemed to calm him, and he sighed contentedly. His brilliant yet troubled mind was at peace at last, surrounded by his mechanical children. Here, he could forget the outside world that rejected him and lose himself in the solace of their cold metal embrace.
