## Caption

Haris first met the android on a brittle winter morning, two years earlier, down on Vyr’s southern docks where frost clung to rusted cranes and the air tasted of coolant and salt. Back then he was just another port worker, anonymous among thousands, moving cargo that never belonged to him between ships that never stayed.

Androids weren’t rare, but they weren’t common either. The old Union–Vidyan accords kept synthetics visibly distinct, a quiet pact to keep everyone in their place. Most drifted in and out with freighters, as impersonal as the cargo they supervised.

She wasn’t what he expected.

Yes, there was rigidity. But also patience. Kindness. A quiet stoicism he rarely saw on Vyr, a world that taught you to be loud or invisible. They spoke often after that. About power pooling in the same few systems. Forgotten worlds. Aliens. Species no one bothered to remember. And always, somehow, it came back to Vyr. A planet caught between fronts. A place that never chose its own future.

Eventually, she told him there was another way. Not waiting. Not pleading. Something sharper. Something that would force attention.

Two years later, she asked if he was ready.

One freighter in orbit, she said. Run by external powers. Make an example. She showed him the weapon. Old. Union-made. Simple. But coiled with enough force to tear a ship from the sky.

Haris steadied his hands. And just as he was about to change the course of events a droid interrupted him. Was it a friend or foe?
