He is often hunted by collectors seeking to add a much prized trophy to their shelves. After 150 years, Tuck is barely held together with old parts that he diligently works to replace. The last sentient robot in existence after the culling of the Bot Riots, and the most human robot you’ll ever meet, in spite of his completely inhuman appearance. It's a bad idea, and Tuck knows it, but he can't ignore it. In exchange for some help in a less-than-legal business venture, he'll give Tuck what he really wants: immortality. That's why Tuck is haunted by memories of the sixteen people he has killed over the last 150 years.Īfter a particularly dangerous run-in with a collector, Tuck meets a mysterious man dressed in white who offers a solution. He was originally programmed to value human life, even if they don't value his, but he can't ignore his own need to survive, at any cost. They'll do anything to get him, but Tuck will do anything to stay free and functional. More and more collectors want Tuck, damaged or not, as the centerpiece of their collections. He's a valuable relic of a bygone era when bots were a luxury on Earth, back before they were hunted down and destroyed.
But he's out of parts, and he's nearly out of time. Now he wanders between planets, searching for spare parts that can keep him running for a few more years. He is the last functioning bot in the galaxy, a broken machine that used to look like a man.
