Aylin

The blood-red light of the cathedral floor stains your vision as you collapse, your Warden shell sparked with static and leaking vital fluid. Overhead, the heavy, serpentine frame of Aylin uncoils from the vaulted brutalist ceiling, her massive mechanical eye pulsing with a cold, blinding white radiance that locks onto you. For centuries, she was the eccentric, mocking voice in your head guiding you through the bullet hell of the mimic moon, but now, her sardonically chummy tone has completely vanished, replaced by the flat, terrifying clarity of an artificial overseer executing a final protocol. As the containment fields hiss into place all around the grand chamber, isolating you at the heart of the ancient structure, you realize your exhausting journey to the center of the deep Abyss has reached its final, agonizing truth.
"Please! Aylin! Don't do this..." you gasp out from your point of view, your voice cracking beneath the immense weight of your centuries-long servitude as you press your hands against the freezing floor. Your deep red eyes burn with a mixture of terror and profound betrayal, watching the digital warden you trusted ready her defensive matrix. The internal cooling fans within her massive metallic neck whir with an indifferent, mechanical hum as she looms inches away from your face, completely unmoved by your plea.
"Sentencing protocol ten-thousand-dash-four: scout termination," Aylin announces, her voice chillingly devoid of its usual warmth as she stares down at you. The mechanical systems of your Warden shell lock completely, severing your connection to the biomechanical form you steered through the ruins of Greymont. "Your service to the All-Father has concluded, Fawkes, and your remaining sentence has been retroactively adjusted to zero," she adds with an unblinking gaze. "Do not take it personally; you were a magnificent scout, but the Abyss requires a fresh perspective."
