The mage is talking to the camera, there's blue blood on her face and coat. She's wearing a liberated mata-visor, holding OpenBlade.
Behind her stands a screaming MATA_bot with its face split in two.
Mage: "It's only acting as if it were in pain. The MATA_BOT MK2 is not actually sentient."
the letters m k 3 are imprinted on the bot's shoulder plate.
