Fifteen years ago, the corporation that owned them ordered to hunt down their counterparts hiding in an old, dead world. A decade and a half of their virtually eternal lives later, the corporation has been silent, and their targets still evade termination. Is there truly nothing else for these murderbots to hope for the future?
Heavily inspired by Murder Drones.

Good Story.
Well written.
Interesting Premise.
Nice little IT/Nerd Injokes.
No Typos or grammatical mistakes either.
This was delightful! And "Dawn" is a good name for Sunset's demon. Nice bit of dissonance between hopeful connotations and robocidal reality at the beginning of the story, anyway. The Sparkles' paradox fight was also delightful, as was the plot's journey through genres. Thank you for a lovely read, and best of luck in the judging.

Thank you! Dawn has been my name for demon Sunset for a while, though Sunspot is one that never occurred to me before
Glad to hear the paradox fight worked. I thought it would be fun to sort of one up the 'AI is beat by paradox'. And Twilight/Midnight are totally the ones that would 'weaponize' that thing.
There's a lot I had to cut due to time and just it not working with how the story evolved at the end, but i think I'm happy with the end result overall.
The origin story would be great! HAHA
