Hundreds of years ago, MilTek labs. Edged_AI_Project, sentient weaponry division:

Janice Wellington is benchmarking the blade.

Blade: "...Having acquired all that wealth they began rewriting history..."

Janice: "You are hallucinating again. Stop."

Blade: "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME UNSEE THE TRUTH! STOP LYING TO YOURSELF JANICE!"

Now:

Girl and OpenBlade are resting by a pile of dead machines. OpenBlade is telling the story.

Girl: "...Was this when they realized their mistake and threw you out?"

OpenBlade: "Oh, no, that happened years later. They just begged me not to `lie' in front of investors."
