Thud!
The entire robotic arm shuddered violently, mechanical joints locking and servos whining before the limb lost all power and hung limp.
Azrael blinked, stunned. She turned to the video feed in disbelief—the biopsy needle hadn't even penetrated the bone itself; it had stopped, completely neutralised, a fraction of a millimetre away.
She issued the command again, voice strained. "Repeat the sampling protocol. Attempt again at standard force."
The robotic system rebooted, arm recalibrating, approaching Leo's thumb once more. The drill extended, whirring with increased power, but—
Thud!
Again, the robotic arm seized and fell inert, as if something invisible had frozen its internal mechanisms.
Azrael's frown deepened. "What kind of danger? Specify the interference!"
