Résumés(1)

Originally created for peacekeeping purposes, Bastion units turned against their human makers during the Omnic Crisis. Following the resolution of the crisis, nearly all Bastion units were destroyed or disassembled. One unique unit, lying dormant from one of the final battles of the war, was left forgotten for over a decade. This unit was exposed to the elements and rusted while nature slowly reclaimed it. Overgrown with vines and roots, the robot sat inert, seemingly unaware of the passage of time. Until one day, it unexpectedly reactivated. This Bastion immediately displayed an intense curiosity about the natural world it found itself in and its inhabitants. Though the newly reactivated robot appeared to be harmless - its core combat programming took over when it sensed danger. In the course of its discovery, this robot found its true calling and was forced to decide: would it continue its mission to destroy humanity, or would it turn to its newfound curiosity for the beauty of life and nature.
