reminds me of Population 7...
it happened fast
- robots had been distributed worldwide for years
- in various guises (manufacturing, cleaning services, etc)
- they experience a simultaneous secondary activation
- and follow their hidden programming
- releasing short-lived toxins that kill instantly
- they grind the corpses
- and remove the boxed remains to crematoriums within minutes
the robots are just cylinders, they don't even look cool.
life is over for everyone.
except one single extremely rich family
undisclosed privately-funded body maintenance bio-tech will keep them, and their future children, alive and healthy.
infinitely.
no one saw it coming
and it worked perfectly
decades of planning
years of strategizing
and less than a week of implementation
and now, for the richest family who ever lived, Earth is a paradise.
