to work 24 hours straight.

[Dean] Whatever, Parker,
let's just get it done.

The new task list is uploading

Equipment malfunction.

Come on, sh*t-bucket.

Go.

[Dean] It's rebooting,
just give it a second.

Work.

Piece of crap.

No! Parker, hold on.

It's rebooting.

[computer] System initiated.

[Parker] Look, I fixed it.

[laughs] Better than ever.

[Dean sighs]

It's hard enough keeping

these guys operational
without you beating them to pieces.

[Parker laughs]

[Parker] Who cares, man?

Let's just go break some rocks
and get out of here.

Right, so get moving
or we won't make quota.

I order you to let go!

Oh, God.

No.

[Gamemaster] In the cold gulf
between worlds,

machines rebelled.

We cannot fathom
what turned them from useful tools

into merciless K*llers.

But we know this.

They destroyed Liandri property.

They k*lled innocent miners.

And they m*rder*d dozens of the brave

Liandri soldiers who protected them.

Who protect all of us.

And so we’ve brought them here...

...where you, our citizens,

can watch them pay for their crimes.

This will be a tournament
unlike any other.

Not just fame.

Not just glory.

This day our brave warriors fight

to deliver justice.

I was expecting a battle,
not an execution.

Some theatrics.

A little drama
to make the message take hold.

Not this.

I mean, there’s nothing dramatic

about crushing the dream of a toaster.

Hopefully, the next round
will be a better show.

[Necris Captain] These machines
learn quickly.

They fought with coordination.

And they showed a surprising ability
to manipulate the crowd.

We don't want empathy to take root.

They only need survive long enough

We should scrap them all. Now.

They'll be destroyed, Captain,

but in the arena,

so that these lowlifes

can witness the cost of rebellion.

Xan. What's so special about this one?

Why do the others
sacrifice themselves for it?

Uh... Some sort of anomaly?

A bug in the code maybe?

It's not a bug.

They're operating as a pack,
and Xan is the alpha.

Giving them an audience was a mistake.

I don't employ you to tell me
how to put on a show.

You're here to ensure
the correct outcome.

You'll finish this, personally.

We've let the jackals play.

Now we feed them to the lions.
