- We’re in that strange room with the strange robot
- “A harsh red light projects upward from a gear-shaped halo, and as it touches the ceiling, glowing circuitry spreads from the point of contact, welding a circle that crumbles into a vision of another space. Beyond the ceiling, an enormous mechanical head looms over you. Wires flow out of where a neck should be, snaking across the room and walls, connecting to a vast array of mechanical towers. And on those towers you see, secured inside clear capsules, thousands of brains pulsing in sync. With a click of gears as loud as thunder, the glowing “eyes” of the head turn towards you. The Cognitia is calculating your existence.”
