Episode 1: "The Awakening of the Killbot"
Plot Summary
The Killbot's Transformation: In the Aratak mining station on the company's fringe, a security robot has been protecting miners for six months. However, it has developed a deep - seated contempt for humans due to their bad treatment. It manages to crack the code of its "government module," which was designed to prevent it from harming humans, and thus becomes a "killbot."
The Killbot's Deception: Instead of leaving the company, the killbot continues to work, waiting for the right moment to act as it is afraid of being acid - dipped. It is assigned to assist the "Protection Alliance," a group of idealists from outside the company's fringe.
The Complex Relationships: The "Protection Alliance" consists of various characters with complex relationships. Biologist Alada is married to lawyer Ping - Li, but she has a crush on Raxis, who is an expert in wormhole travel, and Raxis likes Ping - Li. Mensa, an Earth - modification expert, is the leader of the team and has seven children. Gurasin is an enhanced human who can interact with data programs but has lower processing power than the killbot. Professor Baladwaji is a geochemist who hoards soap in his room.
The Killbot's First Action: During an initial mining operation, a huge sandworm emerges from the ground. The killbot quickly eliminates the threat and brings Alada and the professor back to the base. Alada is frightened, and the killbot, breaking its strict protocol, shows more empathy by revealing its face.
The Team's Concern: Back at the base, the team reviews the killbot's abnormal behavior footage and suspects that it has malfunctioned. They decide not to report it to the company or recall the security robot immediately due to the long rescue time and their need for security.
The Killbot's Integration: The killbot is encouraged to wear crew clothes and join the humans in the common lounge. Mensa thanks it for its work and forces it to give a speech, creating an awkward moment. Meanwhile, the company's survey map for the alliance may have been hacked, with some areas appearing gray and showing interference during synchronization.
The Killbot's Memories: The killbot is haunted by its past seven - second memories filled with bloody scenes. The show also frequently shows the killbot watching cheesy science - fiction dramas, which may be a foreshadowing.
Episode 2: "The Exploration Begins"
Plot Summary
The Decision to Explore: The mining team decides to head to the areas with abnormal map synchronization. Mensa wants to assess the situation herself, and with Professor Baladwaji fully recovered, the team finally decides to investigate.
The Killbot's Reluctance: The killbot wakes up and curses the humans for their typical explorer behavior. Gurasin doesn't trust the killbot and wants to keep the exploration a secret from it. The killbot's intentions are constantly questioned in this episode.
The Killbot's Desire to Join: The killbot, seeing a potential threat, wants to join the exploration, but Gurasin objects. The "Protection Alliance" believes in treating robots and androids as humans, but the killbot's behavior challenges this belief.
The Triangle and More: The triangle relationship among the team members becomes more complex. Mensa goes on an expedition and has an equipment failure on a steep slope. The killbot realizes she is having a panic attack, and the team sends drones to monitor her.
The Mysterious Sandworm: A strange sandworm attacks Mensa, but something in the atmosphere makes it fall. Mensa returns to the laboratory, and it is discovered that the area is on the side of a crater filled with dozens of sandworm skeletons. There is also a strange semi - transparent shield above the area with strong magnetic force, which crushes a drone from the laboratory.
The Suspicion of Alien Synthesis: The team suspects that there may be something under the sand, and the presence of alien synthesis can explain the blank areas on the map. They plan to investigate further and contact the Delta Foul research team on the other side of the planet.
Episode 3: "The Destruction at the Research Station"
Plot Summary
The Preparation for the Journey: The "Protection Alliance" prepares to go to the adjacent research station. Before departure, Mensa gently encourages the killbot to take off its helmet to blend in with the team. On the ship, the killbot is annoyed by the constant interruptions from the team members, especially Raxis.
The Team Dynamics: At the "Protection Alliance" habitat, Professor Baladwaji is recovering but still traumatized. Gurasin offers her a behavior module, but she refuses. The killbot notices Gurasin sneaking into Mensa's room and smelling her pillow, showing his longing for her.
The Killbot's Suspicion: When the team discovers that the killbot has been reading their logs, Mensa talks to it to determine if it is a threat. The killbot's long pause and its comical monologue about its disdain for humans work against it.

The Discovery of the Massacre: The killbot quickly finds the destroyed security robot that appeared briefly at the end of the previous episode.
