"What a lovely night," Jax whispered, his voice barely carried by the cool evening breeze. He tilted his head skyward, letting his cybernetic right eye analyze the vast expanse above. The moon bathed the city in its soft glow, while the stars, Eridanus, Antares, Aquarius, Lynx, Lyra, and Cepheus glimmered in their eternal positions.
To the naked eye, they were mere pinpricks of light. But through his cyber vision, he could see their delicate rotations, the swirling nebulae beyond, and the faint traces of cosmic dust drifting like celestial whispers.
Normally, nights like these passed him by, unnoticed. He preferred the dim glow of his lab, surrounded by the hum of machinery and the never-ending whir of circuits syncing into something greater. His latest creation...an advanced robo-hunter at the tier-one expert level had been an achievement worthy of recognition.
