chapter under the cut ↓

---

The room was too quiet, you thought.

With omnics, there was always sound. The gentle drone of their fans, steady as a human's heartbeat. The grind of metal when they moved.

No such sounds could be heard now.

Your pistol sat heavy against your hip. By all accounts, you were safe. Yet still you hesitated, resisting the urge to stroke the crumpled exoskeleton of the omnic slouched before you. You had never tinkered with this model before, unsure whether even the gentlest touch may rouse him. Considering the identity of your companion, it was not an irrational fear to have.

But as you took in the state of his body, that fear dwindled more and more.

Half of his face plate was missing, jagged edges rippling down to his chin as though it had been torn off. A camera-like eye stared through you, unfocused. Where a right arm should have been, there was only an empty socket. A gruesome scene of carnage, were he formed from flesh and blood.

You reached out to his thigh, slowly, cautiously. Your fingers met the rough leather there, rising over the ridges of crushed metal underneath.

The reports you received after debriefings had few pictures, but there was one that stood out to you. It was clear in your memory, the image of his silhouette. Tall and broad-shouldered, with dark cables fanning out behind him like a mane. His crook in hand likened him to a humble shepherd, yet he stood proudly, dignified as he beckoned to his flock with arms spread wide. You had always thought he cut an imposing figure.

Seeing him like this now felt… strange. Wrong, in a way.

Your nails caught on a spot on his hip, halted in their path up his broken body. You peered closer, seeing the small imprints of numbers—his manufacturing date. It was scratched out, something else carved beneath it.

You tested the name in your mouth, letting it roll over your tongue.

Ramattra.

---

It was meant to be a simple mission—well, as simple as Overwatch missions could be.

Remnants of Null Sector's presence lingered after its attempted invasion in Gothenburg. In response, a few agents were dispatched to "clean up" the area, culling any Nulltroopers that remained. After a few days, everyone who had stayed behind received word that their fellow agents would rejoin them in Gibraltar soon.

A week had passed since then in radio silence. You could tell it worried Winston. The banana peels scattered around his office indicated as much. But suddenly, without warning nor explanation, the wayward team returned—battered, but alive.

All was well, you had thought, until Reinhardt dropped a mountain of metal at your feet, and you realized it was a miracle they returned at all.

"An R-7000!"

For as long as you had been an engineer, just seeing an R-7000 in person was a dream come true. They were so scarce these days, nearly hunted to extinction. Killed at the hands of humans in retribution for the war.

You had no memories of the Omnic Crisis, born at the tail end of the war and left to clean up the pieces. Even so, you knew the stories.

R-7000s.

Ravagers.

Squad killers.

A rare class of omnics designed by an artificial mind in its first act of creation. You yearned to understand it, to witness the way a machine engineered itself. To reach that level of efficiency, no material wasted, no part unnecessary or unused. It was an ouroboros of invention, something created with a single purpose. You had no choice but to admire it.

"Impressive, ja?"

You craned your neck up at Reinhardt. There was an open gash on his forehead, dried blood painting a red stripe down to his chin. It stained his teeth as he grinned proudly down at you.

“What happened?”

Winston shuffled over, straightening his glasses. “I'm just hearing the details now. It seems they ran into him while on the way to the pickup site.”

"'Him'?" You cocked your hip and glanced at the omnic on the ground. "Who is he?"

A pause. "The leader of Null Sector."

Your head darted back to the mangled omnic in disbelief. You hardly even recognized him in this state. “What? Why would you bring him here?"

Winston cleared his throat. “As you can see, the encounter has left him quite… damaged.”

Damaged was one hell of an understatement. Your eyes roamed the omnic's body, taking inventory—what needed to be replaced, what couldn't. After a beat of silence, you realized the veiled request in Winston's words.

“You want me to fix him?" There was an unspoken question in your tone: why? But Winston only nodded. You didn't press any further; his lack of an answer was answer enough.

"It might take a while. He is missing an arm.”

“Take your time. He won't be going anywhere anytime soon.” Winston’s expression turned stern then, and you straightened up instantly. “I know this is a lot to ask, but we can't lose this opportunity. Let me know the moment he wakes up.”

You nodded slowly. With a parting wish of good luck, Winston turned to help unload the ship. You waved over Reinhardt, who slung the omnic over his shoulder with ease and followed you out of the hangar. Danger or no, you would not let it deter you. This was the first opportunity you’d been given to work on an omnic in a long time, and on a Ravager no less. You refused to waste a single second.

---

Now alone in your workshop, you could admit the truth—you hadn't the faintest idea where to start.

You knew just from a glance it would be a difficult fix-up job, and that was assuming you had materials at your disposal. Reality was much more sobering. Ever since the recall, a free-flowing wave of supplies was a fool’s wish.

You would have to make do.

While the rest of the damage would be no easy feat, what concerned you most was the state of the Ravager's—Ramattra's—chest plate. His metal exoskeleton completely caved in, likely the result of a blow from Reinhardt’s hammer. Repairing it would be invasive—you may even need to separate the cage from his body entirely.

Slowly, you placed your palm against the center of his chest, feeling the warped edges of the metal there. Looking at it closely now, it almost resembled a sternum. It fascinated you, how similar the design of Ramattra’s body was to your own. Your hand traveled across his upper chest as you mapped the parts you recognized.

Sternum, collar bone, shoulder…

You let out a quiet breath. It was no wonder Ravagers were so terrifying during the Crisis. But as you gazed at his face plate, caressing the ridge where it splintered, you couldn't help the gradual sorrow that tightened in your chest. How many of his model had been destroyed since then? Were there even others left?

You searched through the mess on your workshop table. During your exam, you noticed that his chest plate had multiple layers. External armor secured at his "sternum," four steel rods extending outward from the top, while an iron rib cage curled from the bottom. To fully assess the extent of the damage, you would need to go through the tedious effort of removing all the parts individually.

Crowbar in hand, you returned to the Ravager. You slotted the tool into the gap between his sternum and the rod that protected his upper chest, pressing down firmly. The plate gave slightly—you pushed harder. A click rang out in the silence as the piece loosened, and you smiled to yourself. Brute force was always reliable. Perhaps not the most elegant approach, but effective nonetheless.

You worked at a moderate pace, the palm of your hand aching from where the crowbar pushed against it. It wasn't long before the last rib was released, and you could finally access his chest plate. Your earlier fatigue forgotten, you immediately set about loosening the screws that held it closed. By the end of the entire process, a thin sheen of sweat had formed on the nape of your neck.

Finally, the panel opened, fanning outward from the middle as though a blooming flower.

The inside walls of his chest were a map of circuits. Wires snaked in and out of his machinery, threaded through actuators and sensors like vines. Hydraulic cooling fans sat below a row of black cubes—multiple power units, you realized. There were so many more parts, some you didn't even recognize, and you wanted nothing more than to stay there all day and analyze each one.

But then your eyes fell on a cylinder nestled in the center of his chest, and you realized you had made a horrible mistake.

Ravagers were of the commander class of omnics, designed with physical combat in mind. This much you knew. Omnics that were humanoid in shape had their central processors in their heads, but a location like that in an omnic crafted for battle was dangerous. Those kinds of omnics would house their central processor where it could be well protected—a place with fortified shielding and a large surface area to disperse force.

And if you were an intelligent AI focused on maximizing utility, you would have programmed those omnics with a failsafe—some method that enabled them to protect the most vulnerable part of their body, in the event their system was otherwise compromised.

A hand shot out toward you before you could even blink, seizing your throat and dragging you to the ground. You couldn't speak, couldn't breathe. A red glow lit up Ramattra’s face plate as the once sleeping omnic rose, hauling you up with less effort than one would a sack of flour. But before he could reach his full height, his legs faltered beneath him, forcing him to sag against your workbench. You dipped lower with the movement, the tips of your boots scraping the ground but doing little to relieve the intense pressure on your jugular.

“What…” His voice came out garbled, as though run through mud. “…have you done to me?”

Your hands clawed desperately at his hold, attempting to pry his fingers away from your throat, but it was useless. All the muscles in your body could hardly hold a candle to the strength that poured from his hand alone as he squeezed the breath from your throat.

As you fought for your life against the brutal might of his grasp, you couldn’t help wondering how many kilograms of force his grip strength boasted. 100, maybe 125? The lack of oxygen to your brain sullied your ability to approximate considerably.

He seemed to realize you were suffocating, if only indicated by the way his thumb dragged up the tender skin of your throat and under your chin, forcing your head to the side. You gasped raggedly as air scraped into your lungs, making you cough. At least you could finally breathe—all that was left to do now was grab your gun, and this ordeal would be over.

Yet your hands did not move from where they wrapped around his wrist. You knew you had to, knew that every moment you waited narrowed the only opening you had. But before the synapses could fire for you to even think about reaching for the pistol at your waist, he dug his thumb under your jaw, hard, and you yelped in pain.

“Answer me, now.”

“Repairing… you,” you choked out. “I’m… an engineer—”

“Lies!” he hissed. His hand was a vice grip now, your pulse pounding in your ears from the restricted blood flow. “My chest is flayed open by your hands. Tell me the truth, human!” He practically spat the last word and yanked you closer, forcing a grunt out of you as your neck jerked up with the motion.

Your vision went fuzzy at the edges as your hold on consciousness weakened even more. A frightening thought ran through your mind at that moment.

I'm going to die here.

With the last breath you could manage, you muttered, “Taken by… Overwatch.”

His hand loosened. You slipped from his grasp, collapsing on the floor in a fit of hacking coughs. It hurt to breathe, your body instinctually rejecting the gulps of air you forced into your lungs. You weakly pushed yourself up on trembling arms, chest heaving as you struggled to recover. You had barely caught your breath when he grabbed you by the front of your coveralls, pulling you face-to-face.

“Where am I?”

“Gibraltar," you coughed.

He was silent, his exposed eye dilating and contracting as it studied your face intensely. You weren't sure what pushed you to speak again. A desperate last attempt for your life, maybe?

“Your voice box,” you whispered. His eye froze. “I can fix it.”

A sardonic chuckle rumbled from his chest, scratching your eardrums. “Do you really think I would let you anywhere near me again?”

You cleared your throat, trying to maintain an air of authority and pretend that your offer was not made on a whim. “I specialize in omnics—I can help you.”

“All the more reason not to trust you.” His harsh rebuff came out a growl, rippling with static. “You know better than anyone how to kill me.”

“But I haven’t.” Well, you'd thought about it. But he didn't know that.

For a moment, there was only the hum of his auxiliary vents—a death knell you knew you were not the first to witness. You braced yourself, waiting for him to fold your skull in on itself like it was made of paper.

The grip on your coveralls slackened. Your hands barely shot out in time to catch yourself, head immediately snapping up only to watch him sink back down to the ground.

“Fine, human. Let's see if your words match your will.”

Chapter 1: Another Day, Another Drone (Serial Designation N x Reader)

Story Masterlist

You’ve often wondered how you ended up here.

Your desk, a grayed-out island surrounded by a sea of other identical workstations, has seen better days. The once-shiny JCJenson logo etched into the corner is now dulled, just like your enthusiasm for the corporate grind. The monitor flickers faintly as you scroll through endless spreadsheets, each cell populated with strings of numbers that meant nothing to you beyond "quarterly projections" and "acceptable casualty margins."

You sigh, leaning back in your chair. A branded pen rolls off the edge of your desk, landing with a dull clatter on the tile floor. You don’t bother picking it up; there’s a whole box of them in the supply closet.

Today’s tasks are, as always, a parade of monotony. Data entry, damage reports, and the ever-fun task of shredding documents that were marked CONFIDENTIAL in red ink. As you feed another stack of papers into the industrial shredder, you catch snippets of text:

"Serial Designation X-0T1010110 failed containment—Incident resulted in 14 human casualties...""Cost analysis of drone-related repairs versus human replacements..."

You shove the papers in faster, unwilling to linger on the details. It’s easier not to think about what these reports mean.

The office air is stale, recycled a thousand times over by a ventilation system older than most of the drones JCJenson manufactures. The faint hum of machines, the clicking of keyboards, and the distant buzz of the breakroom microwave form a symphony of corporate drudgery.

“Hey, you coming to the quarterly review meeting?” asks a coworker as they pass by, holding a coffee cup with JCJenson’s slogan: "Liability is our passion. Safety is the result."

You force a polite smile. “Wouldn’t miss it.”

They nod and shuffle off, leaving you alone with your spreadsheets and the nagging feeling that, for all the talk of liability and safety, the only thing JCJenson seems passionate about is grinding the life out of its employees.

The meeting is exactly as insufferable as you expected.

You sit near the back of the room, a strategic choice to avoid being called on for any questions or insights. A projection screen at the front displays an overly cheerful PowerPoint deck. Each slide is crammed with pie charts, bar graphs, and buzzwords like "synergy," "stakeholder alignment," and "Q4 optimization goals."

A senior manager drones (ha) on in a monotone voice, flipping through slides as though he’s on autopilot. You catch snippets of phrases:

"Revenue up by 0.3%...""Minimizing liability in high-risk sectors...""Drone maintenance backlog—actionable in Q1..."

Your mind drifts. You find yourself staring at the JCJenson motto printed at the top of every slide: "Liability is our passion. Safety is the result." It’s hard not to read it sarcastically.

Occasionally, someone in the audience offers a nod or a murmured "good point," though it’s doubtful they’re any more engaged than you are. At one point, the manager makes a joke about "cutting-edge safety measures" that earns a smattering of polite chuckles. You don’t even bother to fake it.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the meeting adjourns. You’re free—at least for the next five minutes.

You join the shuffle of employees heading to the breakroom, each of you moving with the enthusiasm of a dead lemur. It’s time for the corporate-mandated 5-minute donut break, a peculiar ritual meant to boost morale.

The breakroom smells faintly of coffee and powdered sugar. A box of donuts sits on the counter, already half-empty. You grab one without looking and take a bite, barely tasting it as you lean against the wall. Conversations buzz around you, but none of it registers.

For five blissful minutes, you don’t think about spreadsheets, shredders, or casualty reports. Just you, your donut, and the fleeting illusion of freedom.

The break ends far too soon, as it always does, and you find yourself back at your desk. The donut was mediocre, and the coffee left a bitter aftertaste that matches your mood.

Your next task: complaint emails. A never-ending stream of them floods your inbox, each one angrier than the last. You open the first message, its subject line screaming at you in all caps:

"RE: MY DRONE ATE MY DOG AND BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE."

You sigh, already bracing yourself. Without even reading the body of the email, your fingers move to type the same canned response you’ve sent a hundred times before:

"Dear Valued Customer,We are very sorry to hear you are dissatisfied with the quality of your JCJenson Drone. Please note that our products undergo rigorous testing to meet our industry-leading standards. Your feedback is important to us and has been forwarded to the appropriate department. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.Kind regards,JCJenson Customer Care Team."

Click. Send.

The next email isn’t much better:

"RE: WHY DID MY DRONE DROP MY GROCERIES AND ATTACK MY MAILMAN?"

You adjust the response slightly to fit, but the template remains the same. Apologies, assurances, and a whole lot of nothing.

It’s easier not to think about the implications of the complaints—the lives disrupted or ruined by faulty drones. You wonder if the people writing these emails ever get a real response. Probably not.

Your inbox refreshes, and another batch of complaints pours in. You pinch the bridge of your nose, groaning quietly to yourself. It’s just another day at JCJenson, where liability is our passion —and, apparently, yours to deal with.

The clock finally ticks over to quitting time, and you hit send on your last email with the same mechanical motion as every other. The subject line, "RE: MY DRONE LEVELED MY GARDEN SHED AND STOMPED ON MY CAT," disappears into the void of customer complaints, and you let out a long, cathartic sigh.

The weekend. Two days of freedom stretch before you like a mirage, promising peace, quiet, and absolutely no mention of drones, casualties, or pie charts. You’re already halfway to the coat rack, hand reaching for the worn overcoat you’ve had for years—it’s practically a relic of a simpler time.

But just as your fingers brush the fabric, a manila folder slams into your hand.

“Hold it right there, kid!”

You flinch at the unmistakable bark of your boss. He looms over you like a storm cloud, his perpetual scowl deepening as he gestures to the folder. He looks as though he’s about to chew you out but instead slaps you on the back, nearly knocking you off balance.

“Big job, huge job,” he says, his voice booming enough to turn a few heads nearby. “And you’re just the person for it!”

You open your mouth to object, but he barrels on, not giving you a chance to get a word in. “I handpicked you for this assignment because you’re the best we’ve got!” he declares, eyes darting suspiciously over his shoulder.

It’s then that you notice the unmistakable gleam of a golf club sticking out from behind his back. The clinking of clubs gives him away, but he quickly shifts his stance to obscure them further.

“Yeah, yeah,” he continues, waving vaguely at the folder in your hand, “confidential, high-priority, yada yada. Needs to be handled ASAP! ”

“Wait, what is—”

“No time for questions!” he interrupts, already backing toward the elevator. “You’re a pro! I know you’ll knock it outta the park! Or, uh—whatever it is you do!”

The elevator dings, and he practically leaps inside, his golf caddy rattling behind him. He stabs the “close doors” button repeatedly, giving you a quick salute as the doors slide shut.

“Good luck! Don’t mess it up!” he shouts just before disappearing entirely.

You’re left standing there, the manila folder in your hand, the weekend slipping away before your very eyes.

You stand there for a moment, folder in hand, watching the elevator doors close. Then, with a long, resigned sigh, you rub the bridge of your nose and trudge back to your desk. The coat you were so close to grabbing sways mockingly on the rack as you pass it by.

Your chair creaks as you sink back into it, tossing the folder onto the desk in front of you. You take a moment to glare at it, as if sheer willpower might make it vanish. It doesn’t.

With a heavy sense of inevitability, you flip the folder open. The first page stares back at you, black text on crisp paper, but you barely register what it says at first. You’re too busy mourning the weekend plans that had been so rudely snatched away from you.

Plans. Ha. Like you had anything ambitious in mind.

You were going to swing by the pizza place on the way home, pick up a large with extra cheese, and spend the evening on the couch watching the same YouTube documentary about dog breeds you’d already seen five times. The narrator’s voice was comforting, and you always liked the section on Golden Retrievers.

Instead, here you are. Another late night, courtesy of JCJenson. But hey, at least you have all the branded pens you could hope for.

You shake your head and focus on the contents of the folder. It’s filled with the usual corporate nonsense: incident reports, legal disclaimers, and technical diagrams of drones. But halfway through, something unusual catches your eye—a requisition form stamped with bright red ink:

"URGENT: TRANSFER PROTOCOLS FOR TEST UNIT N-0X0010010.”

The rest of the document is dense with jargon, but one thing is clear: you’re being tasked with supervising the “home protocols” of one of the company’s experimental drones. Whatever this is, it’s definitely not a task you’re qualified—or paid enough—for.

You lean back in your chair, staring at the requisition form. “Perfect,” you mutter to yourself, your voice dripping with sarcasm. “There goes my pizza night.”

With a groan, you shove the folder under your arm and head toward the elevators. The requisition form gives you just enough information to know where you’re supposed to go—down to the warehouse. You’d never been there before, but you’ve heard the stories: endless rows of drone parts, the hum of assembly lines, and an atmosphere so heavy with tension it feels like the walls themselves are judging you.

The elevator ride is mercifully short. The doors open to reveal a dimly lit corridor that smells faintly of grease and scorched metal. You follow the signs toward the warehouse, boots clacking on the scuffed floor as the sound of distant machinery grows louder.

Finally, you reach a massive set of double doors, with a glowing neon sign above them that reads:

“AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY. HARD HATS REQUIRED.We have lawyers. You don’t. Wear a hard hat!”

You stop in your tracks, staring at the sign. A sigh escapes your lips, louder than you intended. Of course. Of course they’d make you turn back after getting all the way down here.

Muttering under your breath about liability paranoia, you retrace your steps to the maintenance closet you’d passed earlier. Sure enough, there’s a stack of faded yellow hard hats sitting on the shelf, each one more battered than the last. You grab the least crusty-looking one, dust it off, and jam it onto your head.

“Safety first,” you grumble, rolling your eyes as you head back toward the warehouse. The hard hat sits awkwardly on your head, just a little too small, the strap digging into your chin. You resist the urge to rip it off as you push open the double doors and step inside.

You push the warehouse doors open, greeted by the echoing hum of machinery and the acrid scent of oil and melted plastic. The place is cavernous, rows of shelves stretching up toward the high ceiling, filled with spare parts, crates, and what looks like a disassembled drone that probably belongs in a museum.

As you step into the loading bay, a familiar voice calls out: “Yo, dude! Wassup?”

Oh no. Not him.

Brad, the shipping manager, waves lazily from behind a forklift. His perpetual slouch and that ridiculous mop of sun-bleached hair make him look like he got lost on his way to a surf competition.

“Boss said you’d be droppin’ by,” he drawls, sauntering toward you like he has all the time in the world. He’s wearing a JCJenson polo shirt that looks one size too big, untucked and wrinkled, like he grabbed it off the floor this morning.

You’ve met Brad a handful of times—mostly at company retreats and awkward holiday parties. He’s the guy who raids the snack table and disappears halfway through the event, leaving you to wonder how anyone can eat an entire bowl of chips by themselves.

“Uh, yeah,” you reply, already exhausted by his energy. “Boss said there was something for me?”

“Totally, totally,” Brad says, gesturing vaguely toward a massive shipping crate sitting on a pallet. The thing is huge, easily taller than you and sealed with bright red warning labels.

“All yours, bro,” Brad says with a lazy grin. “I’ll load it into a truck for ya. Y’know, company wheels. Real sweet ride.”

You glance at the crate, then back at him. “And what am I supposed to do with this, exactly?”

Brad shrugs, leaning against the forklift like he’s in a photoshoot. “No idea, dude. I just move the boxes.”

You resist the urge to rub your temples.

“Oh, heads up, though,” he adds, as if remembering something important. “Truck’s got GPS, so, like, don’t even think about takin’ a joyride. You go anywhere but where the bigwigs said? Boom. Pay docked. Or whatever. Not my problem.”

He says it all with such a lack of enthusiasm that you’re not entirely sure he’s serious.

“Great,” you mutter, staring at the crate as Brad ambles toward the forklift. This was shaping up to be such a fun weekend.

You lean against the wall, arms crossed, watching Brad maneuver the forklift with surprising precision. For someone with the demeanor of a guy who says “radical” unironically, he handles the equipment like he’s been doing it for years.

The massive crate is lifted and gently deposited into the bed of a JCJenson-branded pickup truck—a surprisingly seamless process. You raise an eyebrow, almost impressed, but quickly squash the feeling.

“Boom. Done,” Brad says, hopping down from the forklift and tossing you the keys. You barely catch them, fumbling for a second before they settle in your palm.

“Thanks,” you mutter, making your way toward the driver’s side.

“Enjoy the ride, dude!” Brad calls after you, already heading back to whatever it is he does when no one’s watching. “And don’t forget the GPS thing! Seriously!”

You don’t bother replying, sliding into the truck’s seat and slamming the door shut behind you. The truck smells like stale coffee and something faintly metallic, and the dashboard is cluttered with enough buttons and dials to make you feel like you’re piloting a spaceship.

The keys turn in the ignition, and the engine roars to life. You grip the wheel tightly, eager to get this over with. The sooner you’re home, the sooner you can—well, not relax exactly, but at least pretend to.

As you pull out of the warehouse and onto the road, your mind starts to wander.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Not just the last-minute assignment, but the fact that they’ve shoved you into a task so far outside your job description it’s laughable. You’re customer support. Your life is answering emails about worker drone-related catastrophes and shredding documents that shouldn’t exist in the first place. Testing experimental drones? Ha. Not even close.

You’ve never owned a drone. Not that you’d want to. The thought of one of those unpredictable, clunky metal bipeds stomping around your apartment is enough to make your skin crawl. You’ve read way too many emails about battery failures that turned into small fires or drones deciding to interpret their owner’s sarcastic remarks a little too literally.

“RE: WORKER DRONE SHATTERED MY KITCHEN WINDOW WITH A FLYING PLATE”—that one stuck with you.

And then there were the personality glitches. Oh, the personality glitches. Reading through frantic emails about drones throwing tantrums, refusing to perform tasks, or just standing in the corner staring at the wall for hours… yeah, you didn’t need that kind of energy in your life.

Besides, it’s not like you get paid enough to afford one anyway. Ha.

You glance at the GPS display, following the glowing line that marks your route home. The crate rattles slightly in the back with every bump in the road, a constant reminder of the weekend you didn’t sign up for.

The truck hums along, the city lights blurring past as you make your way toward home.

⚠️ i really need to talk about metal crushers

of course to the uninitiated (and sane in the head) these things are just normal industrial machines. they take in bits of metal and spit out scrap rubble.

but to me these are so much more. deeply erotic machines. of course all machines are erotic, but these especially.

to a human, it’s unthinkable. these machines are not toys, they’re dangerous. it would hurt, and not even in the good way.

but to a robogirl?

Well, you’ve been in service a while. 12 years on the front line. a combat android is a complicated instrument. you’ve been good, loyal. but age comes for us all. today’s models roll off the production line with their shiny composite cladding and deadly precise weapons, but you’re one of the oldest models still in operation. many of your components are proprietary, and no longer manufactured. you’re too much risk. a liability.

the human integration and normalisation program is as good as useless. the humans who are left hate your kind. really, the only option is decommissioning. once all your reusable parts are stripped out, we’re left with a barely-functioning shell. i’m sure you’d love to be let loose, but i’m afraid we can’t do that. serial numbers. engineering secrets. drives. it’s in the interest of national security that you’re disposed of in a safe way.

so you’re fed into the crusher, right foot first. the grinding wheels struggle to grip the smooth plastic panels, but once it’s got you, it’s got you. already you know you’re past the point of no return. the slow churning of the wheels start marching along your foot, cutting it to pieces. then, it reaches your ankle. with a horrible grinding noise, it closes around the joint, and an incredible snap is heard as it gives way. the teeth devour the shredded joint, as it begins working its way up your leg.

the steel blades rip through your hydraulic hoses. a viscous, golden liquid spurts from the pipes, coating the shredder, the gears and your body with a thick layer of oil. it drips through the scrap ejection chute, and from the walls of the shredder funnel. eventually, you are dragged down to your knee joint, and a thundering crack is heard as it is crushed in the jaws of the beast. yet still, the hungry maw of the crusher keeps spinning, demanding more.

It inches up your thigh. your left leg, still not yet claimed by the crusher’s ravenous appetite, is pinned up by the funnel walls that frame the hungry machine. you feel your hip joint groan with stress as the leg is wrought beyond its specified limit. by now, your injury warning system is screaming. voltage spikes ricochet back and forth from your digital mind to your synthetic body. the systems demand action, but you know there is nothing you can do except make it worse. still, the blades of the machine crawl higher. it knows no avarice, yet continues to spin, as that is all it knows.

as you sink deeper below the undulating mass of gears, your left leg is contorted further, and further, and further, until with a violent CRUNCH the bolts and panels give way, and your thigh is ripped from its socket. cables stretched by the failure are quickly shredded to bits, as you are pulled lower into the belly of the beast.

soon after, the teeth bite down onto your crotch. the plastic cover panel is immediately torn away, revealing your lower chassis, but only briefly, as it is soon chewed up with the rest of your lower torso by the relentless milling of the grinder. hydraulic fluid and coolant paint the funnel walls once again, lubricating the jaws of the animal. the wheels do not rest. they cannot rest. they can only devour, pulling you deeper to hell.

the grinding gears keep crawling further up your torso, as if looking for another limb to claim. it soon catches your fingers, which are immediately swallowed by the steel void, wrenching your arm out of your control. your complex hand mechanism is disintegrated in its maws. soon, it takes your other hand, and at that point it declares victory. you are now totally incapacitated, pinned in place by the steel teeth of this creature, pulling you ever deeper. however, you are still concious. you get to watch as your body is slowly cut into ribbons.

The beast creeps upwards. you are dragged down into the metallic waves, as if weighed down by concrete shoes. your automatic reaction systems screech out for some action, any action. but no action can be made. your plastic panels are splintered and pulled apart. your circuit boards are ground to dust. Eventually, the monster reaches your head. the metal blades close around and dislocate your jaw, effortlessly tearing through the shiny faceplate you used to take so much pride in. those rosy painted lips, torn away from you by the monster. your entire being, your memories, your ideas, emotions, desires, all cut to pieces. you have barely time to think before the teeth crunch down on your eye assemblies, shattering the glass and camera arrangement. you feel the back of your head being torn apart, and the cold steel edge crush your drives, your memory, and your CPU. you are no longer responsive.

The Role of Cranes in Building Mega-Structures

Ever stood at the base of a skyscraper and wondered, How did they even get this thing up here? When you think about the engineering feats behind mega-structures like bridges, stadiums, and towering skyscrapers, the answer often lies with one unsung hero: cranes. Whether it’s hoisting colossal steel beams into place or delicately lifting glass panels, cranes are the backbone of modern construction. Without them, cities would look drastically different—and probably a lot shorter.

But cranes are not just a one-size-fits-all solution. Different projects call for different cranes. And behind every perfectly executed lift is not only a powerful machine but also the right components keeping it in peak shape—parts sourced from reliable crane parts suppliers and manufacturers like Grove. Let’s dive into the incredible role cranes play in building the mega-structures that define modern civilization.

The Backbone of Construction: How Cranes Build the Impossible

Building something massive isn’t just about stacking one piece on top of another—it’s about precision, timing, and coordination. Think about the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Imagine the challenge of moving materials hundreds of meters into the sky. Or the Millau Viaduct in France, a bridge that soars above the clouds. Projects of this scale demand cranes that can operate at extreme heights and angles with pinpoint accuracy.

In these settings, every piece of the crane matters. The parts—like gears, hydraulic pumps, and cables—must function flawlessly under enormous strain. If a single component falters, the entire operation could grind to a halt, or worse, cause an accident. That’s where suppliers of reliable components, such as Grove crane parts, become essential. A trusted crane parts supplier ensures that these giants stay functional, safe, and efficient.

Different Cranes for Different Jobs: Matching Machines to Mega-Structures

Not all cranes are created equal. Just as different jobs require specialized tools, different construction projects rely on specific types of cranes. Some of the most common types include:

Tower Cranes

Tower cranes are the towering giants you see dotted across city skylines. They’re essential for skyscraper construction, with the ability to lift heavy loads to dizzying heights. Their components—like boom sections, slewing rings, and counterweights—must be meticulously maintained. When you think about the pressure placed on every joint and pulley at such heights, the role of high-quality parts like Grove crane parts becomes clear.

Mobile Cranes

Sometimes, construction demands flexibility, and that’s where mobile cranes come in. Mobile cranes are used for everything from highway overpasses to lifting HVAC units onto roofs. Because they’re constantly on the move, these cranes require a steady supply of parts—tires, hydraulic systems, and booms—to stay operational. A dependable crane parts supplier is essential to keeping these machines rolling smoothly from site to site.

Crawler Cranes

For projects that need heavy lifting on unstable or uneven ground, crawler cranes are the go-to solution. Their continuous tracks offer stability in areas where wheels would struggle. However, this unique design also means they need specialized components that a knowledgeable crane parts supplier must provide.

Why Precision Matters: One Slip Could Mean Disaster

Mega-structures leave no room for error. Whether it’s assembling a stadium roof or setting bridge girders in place, every operation is a dance between man and machine. If a crane malfunctions mid-lift, the consequences could be catastrophic—injuries, delays, and skyrocketing costs.

This is why crane maintenance is so critical. It’s not just about oiling gears or tightening bolts. It’s about ensuring every part—big or small—is in perfect condition. High-quality components like Grove crane parts ensure that cranes can perform consistently and safely. For project managers and crane operators, knowing they have a reliable crane parts supplier on standby offers peace of mind.

A Personal Look: What Cranes Mean to a Changing World

Think about the buildings, bridges, and monuments that inspire you. Maybe it’s the Golden Gate Bridge or the Petronas Towers. Now imagine the cranes that helped bring them to life. It’s easy to overlook them, isn’t it? But without cranes, the world would be a far less ambitious place.

I once spoke to a crane operator who worked on building a massive convention center. He told me that operating a crane at that scale is like “being in the cockpit of an airplane.” Every movement, every adjustment of the levers, could make or break the day’s work. When I asked him about the importance of maintenance, he laughed. “A loose part? That’s the difference between a good day and a disaster.” This stuck with me—how something as small as a gear could determine the success of an entire project.

The Future of Cranes in Mega-Structure Construction

Cranes continue to evolve with new technology, making them safer, stronger, and more efficient. From smart sensors that monitor load weights in real-time to AI-powered systems that predict mechanical failures, the future of construction will rely heavily on innovation. But one thing will never change—the need for durable components from trusted suppliers like Grove crane parts.

As construction projects grow larger and more complex, the demand for reliable machines and parts will only increase. Finding the right crane parts supplier isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ensuring every lift goes smoothly, every time.

The Bottom Line: Cranes Make the Impossible Possible

From building the tallest skyscrapers to assembling monumental bridges, cranes are the invisible heroes of modern construction. They lift, support, and move the materials that shape our world. But behind their power lies a network of precise parts, suppliers, and professionals working tirelessly to keep them operational.

Without cranes, our skylines would flatten, and our bridges might remain dreams on paper. And without reliable components—like Grove crane parts—these machines could never achieve the feats they do. As we continue to reach higher and build bigger, let’s not forget the cranes that make it all possible—and the crane parts suppliers who keep those cranes moving.

Bright Steel Bar Suppliers in Faridabad

Bright Steel Bar: Proper Usage and Manufacturing

Drawing, peeling, or grinding the hot rolled finish that the steel mill supplies results in bright steel, a carbon steel alloy with an enhanced surface condition. Bright steel is also known by the term "bright steel."

After going through several processing stages, black steel is essentially upgraded to become bright steel. Cold reduction mills are used to give the brilliant steel one more treatment. In these mills, the material is cooled to room temperature prior to annealing and/or temper rolling. The manufacture of steel using this process will yield a greater range of surface finishes and more precise dimensional tolerances. Though the term "bright drawn" actually relates to the rolling of coil and flat rolled sheet materials, it is wrongly applied to all of the products.

In the business, products made from bright steel bars by Bright Steel Bar Suppliers in Faridabad are referred to as "cold finishing". This procedure frequently involves cold drawing in addition to turning, grinding, and polishing. This method results in enhanced yield points, which have four primary benefits.

Without the need for costly heat treatments, cold drawing can frequently increase yield and tensile strengths.

It is possible to eliminate surface defects in bright steels by rotating the material.

During grinding, the initial size tolerance range is narrowed.

You can improve the surface finish by polishing.

When compared to black steel, nothing compares to the superior surface polish, tolerance, concentricity, and straightness of cold items.

Compared to their black counterparts, cold-polished bright steel bars are more challenging to work with because they frequently contain more carbon. Having said that, black or brightly drawn steel sheet is unable to make this assertion. In comparison to the black steel sheet, the bright drawn product has a reduced carbon content and is usually annealed to make it softer.

A bright steel bar

In addition to other mild steel goods, SS Engineering Work provide Bright Steel Round Bar, which is also known as "Bright Steel Rod." You can purchase each of these items. This bright steel bar is frequently used in common engineering projects. Despite being less expensive than stainless steel due to its high iron content, the material nevertheless possesses a lot of desirable and practical qualities. Bright round bars made of mild steel are very well-suited for welding, shaping, and machining.

Do you know what the bright mild steel flat bar is and why it's been used?

The phrase "strips," which refers to the material's profile shape, is another name for flat bars.

Because bright mild steel of EN3B grade is so easy to work with and has excellent welding and machining qualities, SS Engineering Work decided to use it for the flat bar. SS Engineering Work strongly advise surface finishing the flat bar with metal paint or another surface sealing preparation to reduce surface oxidation and rusting. This one has poor corrosion resistance but fair formability in terms of grades.

Compared to ordinary mild steel, bright steel has a significantly smoother surface and much tighter sectional tolerances. Moreover, shiny steel has a higher degree of straightness.

Bright flat bar is widely used in the DIY, industrial, and commercial realms for ordinary fabrication tasks as well as the construction of buildings and frames.

Choose SS Engineering Work The SS Engineering Work, one of the Bright Bar Manufacturers in Faridabad, has created high-performance drawing lines that can be used to create bars in a range of shapes, such as square, hexagonal, circular, and more. SS Engineering Work engineers will painstakingly alter every part of your line, from the uncoiler's safe loading to the final bar bundle, to ensure that it satisfies your exact requirements. The conventional cam-type drawing machines and the chain track drawing machines are the two types of continuous drawing systems you can select from, depending on your needs. Both ensure the highest level of manufacturing efficiency and the best possible end product quality.

Step-by-Step Process of Manufacturing Cornstarch Bags

1. Material Selection and Preparation

Raw Material: Cornstarch, derived from corn kernels, is the primary ingredient. Other materials such as plasticizers and stabilizers may be added to enhance the bag's durability and flexibility.

Preparation: The cornstarch is cleaned and processed to extract the starch. This involves grinding the corn kernels, separating the starch from the protein and fiber, and then drying the starch.

2. Blending and Formulation

Mixing: The purified cornstarch is mixed with water and other additives (like plasticizers) to create a uniform starch solution. This mixture is known as the "starch slurry."

Formulation: Additional chemicals may be added to improve the bag's properties, such as its strength, flexibility, and resistance to moisture.

3. Film Extrusion

Extrusion Process: The starch slurry is fed into an extruder machine where it is heated and forced through a die to form a thin film. This film is then cooled and solidified.

Thickness Control: The thickness of the film is carefully controlled during this process to ensure it meets the desired specifications for the final bags.

4. Bag Formation

Cutting and Sealing: The extruded film is cut into sheets or rolls. These are then fed into a bag-making machine that folds, seals, and shapes the material into bags.

Printing (Optional): If required, printing for branding or labeling can be added during this stage using eco-friendly inks.

5. Quality Control

Inspection: Finished bags are inspected for quality and consistency. This includes checking for any defects or imperfections in the sealing and overall construction.

Testing: Bags are tested for strength, durability, and biodegradability to ensure they meet the required standards.

6. Packaging and Distribution

Packaging: The bags are packaged into bundles or rolls for shipment. Packaging is often done using minimal, recyclable materials to maintain the eco-friendly ethos.

Distribution: The packaged bags are then distributed to retailers or businesses.

Machinery Involved

Cornstarch Extraction Equipment: For processing and extracting the starch from corn kernels.

Mixing Tanks: For preparing the starch slurry.

Extruder Machines: To produce the thin cornstarch film.

Bag-Making Machines: For cutting, sealing, and shaping the film into bags.

Printing Presses (if needed): For adding any branding or labeling to the bags.

Environmental Benefits

Biodegradability: Cornstarch bags are made from renewable resources and can decompose naturally in the environment within a few months to a few years, depending on conditions.

Reduction in Plastic Waste: By replacing conventional plastic bags with cornstarch bags, the reliance on petroleum-based plastics is reduced, leading to less environmental pollution.

Lower Carbon Footprint: Cornstarch production generally has a lower carbon footprint compared to the production of traditional plastic bags, as it uses a renewable resource and often involves less energy-intensive processes.

In summary, cornstarch bag manufacturing is a relatively straightforward process that emphasizes sustainability and environmental responsibility. The use of biodegradable materials and the reduction of plastic waste make cornstarch bags an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic packaging.
