???: Hello there.
(General K would wake up and try to sit up, only to realize half the bones in his body were broken. He laid back down, screaming in pain.)
GK: …augh… how am I alive?
???: You shouldn’t be. But I came to your aid.
GK: And who are you?
???: I am Zenith, an A.I. built into your helmet. Your helmet’s brain implant is supposed to help you control your XLabs Prototype Overkill Magnet Pincers™, but it has a much more important purpose: me! I activate whenever your body is an a state of extreme pain, releasing nanomachines into your bloodstream to help your body repair itself.
GK …ugh… how long have I been out?
Zenith: 3 months, 2 weeks, and 6 days.
GK: …HOW THE- you mean my body’s been rotting in the middle of a canyon for 3 and a half months?
Zenith: Yes.
GK: …ok. Ok. How am I going to get out of here?
Zenith: Your body should work, although I am detecting multiple fractures in your skeletal system that still have not been fixed by me yet. You might have trouble moving.
GK: Well, the good news is that I can move… ugh… it hurts really badly.
Zenith: Since you are able to function properly, I will be shutting down in 5… 4…
GK: Wait!
Zenith: What is it?
GK: …can you stay for longer?
Zenith: Sure.
GK: Great. Now help me get out of this canyon.
