Chapter 152: Blackout.

The hangar bay was eerily silent as the red spiderbot skittered across the metallic floor, its movements unnaturally smooth and deliberate. After observing the two maintenance workers from the shadows for a few moments, the bot sprang into action with terrifying speed.

With a single, fluid motion, it leapt onto the first worker's head, its sharp, metallic legs piercing through the skull like hot knives through butter. The worker didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

The second worker, stunned by the sudden attack, froze in place, but the spiderbot was already moving. In a flash, it extended a small metallic dart from its underbelly and fired it into the worker's forehead with pinpoint accuracy.

The dart left a clean hole, and the second worker crumpled to the ground, dead before he even realized what had happened.
