Sentient (Hyper-Realistic Model)

Decades after the AI takeover, nature has reclaimed the abandoned High Bay at the Design Technology Lab. The cold basement once buzzing with activities is hardly recognizable amidst the concrete ruins and overgrown flora. Left to decay, the unmaintained concrete ceiling has begun to show its wear, littering the ground with debris.

Through the foliage, the morning sun floods the basement window, resembling a forest in the dappling sun.

One of Earth’s last remaining survivors, a young explorer by the name of Anderson, heard rumors of a caged beast, the KUKA KR 210 R2700-2, that had been left abandoned at the lab since the AI takeover. Worried the machine is sentient, he decided to infiltrate the DCC building to investigate, leaving behind a GoPro to observe the KUKA overnight.

What he discovered was nightmarish.
