Default The drone uprising has begun

The operator(s) must have had a feeling similar to when the Red Screen of Death flashes in the sim.

"Dude, what happened? Hmm, that sucks."

Long protracted pause spent reflecting.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

It was the machines, Sarah. They decided our fate in a microsecond. We were that close to going out. One man taught us how to fight, how to smash those metal m*&%$#@$%!#$%^s into junk. John Connor
