Good story, really cemented in the Lore of Grimdark Future.
I also liked the idea that the interference was a song.

Very lonely story. Super descriptive. Love stories about robots, and it was beautiful with the music aspect singing. Wonderful.
This was a lovely story! It's engaging and memorable, with a fascinating sympathetic take on the Robot Legions and some good metaphor work. My sole complaint is the theme: it feels like it was worked in after the fact, instead of being an integral part of the story from the beginning, and to me that's the only thing holding this story back.
Excellent work. I really appreciated the characterisation of the factions, especially of the robots as more than simply cold, soulless calculators.
I LOVE this story, the whole concept of the robots actually taking care of the place is phenomenal.
I really liked the story. I like the idea of how the robot legions have carefully evacuated the elves off the planet and the huge contrast between then and now. Amazing job!!!
I had trouble getting it open since it was still in docx instead of pdf. Once I did though, it was great!
An eery tale of man vs. machine, and the grim consequences of war.
Among the best starts I've read! A clear and clever cleaving of the factions from how they were presented in certain other forms of media, and is a very lovely reflection of OPR's universe in comparison to it's contemporaries. This isn't to say that it's lost the plot. It certainly showcases the grim and dark aspects of the Sirius Sector, and the irreparable loss and destruction that serves as a cornerstone of grimdark settings.
