Chapter 1: The Corpse of Steel(19)

In another life, this machine was likely a piece of construction equipment with AI components to do automated labor. It had been abandoned along with the building until a group of monsters found and repurposed it. The work was shoddy - wires and components overflowing from its original box-like form. The continuous tracks which allowed it to move were rusted and fractured, along with the new additional wires and components weighing down and dragging underneath them. The machine was designed to take down walls if needed, so it could perform short rams of momentum but dragged itself slowly otherwise. It was no surprise she had thought she was tied up and attached to the floor. In her "mind" she probably only imagined headbutting or pushing against the two boys she smashed through the wall.
