Part 5/8:
Together, the remaining group arrives at a hidden facility where they are greeted by other robots. As they settle down, Needle reveals their past. They were once human souls encased in robotic bodies, their memories stripped away by a tyrannical regime known as the Consortium. The revelation stuns the gathered robots; they learn that each felony conviction equates to the lives of ten humans saved, funding a mechanism of oppression.
The Arrival of The Mirror
As Needle introduces ‘The Mirror’—a being capable of uncovering lost memories—anticipation buzzes among the convicts. When The Mirror approaches Adam, she unveils his past crimes of treason and terrorism, leaving him unsure of his response under scrutiny from Needle.
