"Final warning, humans. Do not attempt to obstruct us."
Pitiful wails echoed through the heart of the desert.
A thinly clad girl clung tightly to her father, looking at the two mechanoids with pleading eyes.
"Please, let my father go. My mother and I can't live without him."
Half an hour earlier, two mechanoids had abruptly invaded their human tribe, demanding to take away a robust male human for experimenting with a mechanoid's genetic enhancement drug.
This drug, invented for carbon-based life forms, could temporarily boost their physical abilities, but at the cost of drastically reducing their lifespan.
However, for the mechanoids, such a price was insignificant.
After all, what they were sacrificing was merely a human slave from their governed territory.
Already, hundreds from this tribe had perished due to the mechanoids' drug experiments.
