Little does she know that a chance encounter with a bot named Burr may leave her dead before her rescue mission even begins. At one point, Burr was the last hope of the bots, setting out in search of a way to slow down their deterioration. Beaten and left for dead, he finally stumbles across something that will help the bots. Will his crooked allies kill him and use this discovery to gain power over the bots? Or will coming face-to-face with Shea, a human with a taste for killing bots, leave him dead in the gutter?
