Episode 36: Skin Deep
Echo Unit failure mode.Abstract
An early-generation Echo Unit was cornered and broke down in stages. Memory gaps first, then temperature shifts, speech loops, and finally physical instability. ENIGMA would rather destroy the evidence than let C.H.A.O.S. study what was happening to it.
