Scavvy shoved the processor into his lead-lined satchel and bolted. He knew these tunnels better than any corporate map. He slid down a rusted ventilation shaft, sparks flying as his boots scraped the metal. Behind him, the rapid-fire thud of the drone’s pulse-cannon chewed through the ductwork.
He hit the floor of a flooded basement and kept running, splashing through ankle-deep runoff. He reached a heavy pressure door—his only exit. He slammed his bypass tool into the lock.
"Contact confirmed," a synthesized voice echoed through the hangar. "Unauthorized retrieval in progress. Deploying kinetic measures."
The drone drifted past, its search lights cutting through the fog of the lower vents. Scavvy didn't wait. He lunged toward a pile of debris where the signal was strongest. Using a modified plasma torch, he sliced through a layer of carbon-fiber casing. There it was.
"Don't fail me now, junk-heap," he whispered to his scanner.
As his fingers closed around the cold glass, a siren wailed. The Spider-Drone had looped back, and this time, its sensors locked onto the thermal signature of his torch.
The air was thick with the scent of ozone and wet copper. Scavvy checked his wrist-mounted scanner. A faint, rhythmic pulse flickered on the cracked screen. The TG-01 was close—buried somewhere beneath a mountain of decommissioned server racks and mangled hydraulic limbs.
The neon lights of the sprawl never reached the Sub-Levels, but ScavvyKiD didn’t need them. In the rusted gut of Sector 4, he moved through the shadows of the "Iron Graveyard" with the practiced ease of a ghost. His mission was simple: recover the TG-01 processor before the Corporate Retrieval Teams realized it hadn't been vaporized in the lab explosion.
