Undisclosed location, MATALABS.

MATACORP General addresses a large number of freshly booted MATA_BOTS.

General: "Gentlemen... Congratulations! You are the first batch of semi-sentient MATA_BOTS to see real combat against the hacker scourge..."

One of the bots whispers to themself: "Semi?"

Another one grabs them by the shoulder: "Meaning you get patched out if you disobey."
