Story
It has been 100 years since the beginning of the global war...A dreadful worldwide conflict which has shown no sign of abating for its entire duration.
Eventually armed robots took the place of soldiers on both sides, propelling warfare as we knew it into further and further extremes of ceaseless destruction. These robots begin to self reproduce. Building their own only to be shot down by their own again...
People began to question whether this cycle of production and destruction would continue indefinitely.
Amid this endless loop of chaos however, one robot boldly raised their voice and said...
"Hey, who ate my pudding?”
