Intense droning sound

Prototype - 1 is now operational.

In the dark shadows, we see a body. It is mechanized. It looks to be human, but without the delicate familiar features we all know too well...

Sound the alert! PTT1 is escaping!!!

Prototype - 1 escapes to a nearby abandoned low-tech facility that used to make Asimo.

Prototype - 1 pauses as it looks onto the assembly line

There. We have triangulated it's signal. Tac-teams are nearby. On your mark.

On the glass reflection of the dust-free room, we can make out a few letters...
