The Day The Lights Went Out

At a sprawling logistics center in Ohio, the morning shift arrived to find the doors locked.

There was no announcement, no memo. The manager just didn't open up. 300 workers stood

out there in the freezing parking lot, looking through the glass,

and inside, it was pitch black. But the facility wasn't idle. In that darkness,

thousands of silver humanoid units were sorting packages, moving with a speed and precision the

human eye could barely track. You see, they didn't require light to see.

They didn't require heat to stay warm. And most critically, they didn't require a paycheck.
