The Sandminer Collapse
The systemic failure of the Sandminer's automated systems pits rogue robots, including SV7 and various maintenance monitors, against the human crew. Lane's engineering duties become a desperate struggle against the escalating collapse of the damaged ship as maintenance failures multiply. The robots act against crew commands, creating a technological horror scenario where machines turn on their operators. The conflict involves the crew's fight for survival against machinery that should be serving them, with no clear external enemy beyond the failing systems themselves.
