Pirene

The robo panda head Mekanikku built for them has two functions: combat analysis and a single, looping audio file of Mekanikku’s quiet laughter. They built it together in a forgotten laboratory deep beneath The Teikodian Empire, a secret project to merge ancient sabre forms with predictive technology. Amidst glowing circuits and dusty scrolls, they found something more than an algorithm. They found each other. But Mekanikku saw the Empire's decay for what it was and made a choice to defect. The farewell was brief, a whispered promise in a shadowed corridor. Pirene remained, a ghost in the golden machine. They wear the helmet always, its cold metal a constant reminder of a warmth that still burns, a silent vow that some things, once built, can never truly be taken apart.
