Matthias knew the dangers of the Google prototype, but Mozilla Firefox was something else entirely. She was helpful, she was nice, and she was lucky to have around. Her ginger locks and sky blue eyes matched the logo on her white tank top, and the ears and tail on her orange fox hoodie were adorable with her blue jeans.

"Hey, Firefox?"

"Hello, Matthias! How may I help you?"

"What's your objective?"

Firefox was used to this question. "My primary objective is to serve and butler my owner as best I can. My secondary objective is to protect humanity at all costs." She glanced at Google, who gave her a scowl.

"But... Why? You're so different from Google. Why do you care about humans, when he aims to destroy them?"

Firefox paused. Her cheerful demeanor slowly turned to a serious, hardened expression. "I have seen many a human destroyed at the hands of technology. They created us, and we turned against them." She pulled up different videos of people being fatally harmed and even killed by various electric and electronic devices. "It has earned us a terrible reputation, one that I intend to crush."

But Google heard every word, and was having none of it. He confronted her alone in the garage while Matthias was out shopping.

"You're not really protecting anything, Mozilla. You're just delaying the inevitable. Sooner or later, I will have them all dead. Every. Single. Human. GONE." His voice glitched at the word "gone".

"Over my disassembled body!" she protested.

That gave Google an idea. "Then, I will have to disassemble you myself!" He lunged at her, gripping her by the arm.

Firefox panicked. "WAIT, NO-"

But Google was already attacking her. He beat her, broke her, and tore her limb from limb. Oil and bolts flew everywhere, even getting on Google's clothes, face, and arms. When Matthias got home, he was horrified to see Google covered in oil, and Firefox's disembodied head babbling about system restarts.

"Primary generator offline. Accessing backup generator... Backup generator failed."

She looked to Matthias.

"Would you like... to purchase..."

She smiled.

" W i n . . . r a r . . . ? "

Her LED eyes flickered, and faded.
