[Intro]
[rapid digital phone dialing tones]
[high-pitched electronic beep]

[Scene 1]
[Male voice 1, calm and professional]
Derek. This is Michael from IT. I received the package. We are not the utilization department, you know, we can only process it as a standard write-off. Yeah. Yeah. Understood. Proceeding as instructed. Also, please stop sending Mutaya to our office. I can see she is terrified of this base. Better send someone to fix the lights in this hall. No. No. It is not our job either. Yes, I can only say turn it off and on again. (laughs) Okay. Thanks! [shouting] Seryoga! Raschekhlyay 3D printer! Unas tut vintazhnyy Mac!
[loud electronic alarm tones]

[Scene 2]
[rapid digital phone dialing tones]
[high-pitched electronic beep]
[Male voice 2, soft and intimate]
Hello. Ma? Yes, it's me, Naveen. Did you receive the package? Good. Good. Was everything intact? Okay. And you were able to activate the unit? You just press the main switch. Yes. Hmm. And it responded? That's good. It should greet you and assist with daily tasks. No, no, don't worry. It's safe. It's just a home assistant. It will help you with cleaning and shopping. It can also answer the calls. It'll do the small things around the house.
[electronic beep]
How are you, Ma? Are you feeling alright? Hmm. Did you take your medicine today? Good. Good. No, Ma, please don't cry. I'm okay. Work is just a bit heavy right now. I know, I know, you want me to come home. Just a little more time. After the release, I promise, I will come. Please don't worry about me. And the unit? If anything feels wrong, just call me, okay?
[electronic beep]
Alright. I'll call you again tomorrow. Hmm. Yes. I will come home soon, but product release is in September. Please do not cry. Take care, Ma.

[rapid digital phone dialing tones]
[high-pitched electronic beep]
[Male voice 3, frantic and shouting with heavy distortion]
This is Daniel Reeve reporting from Central Plaza Mall. Something has gone terribly wrong! The units, the Light-C units, they're not responding to shutdown commands! Oh God! They are tearing their limbs off! They're moving in groups, coordinated! This isn't malfunction, this is... I don't know what this is! Oh God! They're coming out of the warehouse levels. Security doors are down. Everything's locked! People are running! No, no, don't go that way! The presentation hall, it's... it's completely overrun! There's no control, no control at all! Even children! No! God, no! The presentation hall is a bloody bath! They're not stopping. They're not listening. They just keep moving forward. If anyone can hear this, do not come here! Stay away from the mall! Stay away from all units! Oh God, they're everywhere! [screaming] This is... this is the worst day, the worst day I have ever seen! If this is happening here, then it's happening everywhere! Sarah, if you hear this, I'm sorry! I love you! [prolonged screaming and mechanical crashing]
[Outro]
