Reservoir Dogs 1992
This transmission documents the aftermath of a failed human robbery attempt. The actual event is never shown — only its effects: blood loss, accusation, improvisation, and regret. A group of armed humans with pseudonymous color-based identities converge at a warehouse to assess what went wrong. They speak often. They listen rarely.
The operation, designed with simplicity, has already collapsed. Law enforcement arrived too quickly. One human is severely wounded and leaking. Another believes a traitor is among them. A third delivers extended monologues with fluctuating intensity and little actionable content. Tension rises, but cooperation does not.
Loyalty is tested, mostly through shouting and pointing. One human is revealed to be an undercover agent — a fact hidden until most participants are dead or incapacitated. This agent forms a genuine bond with the wounded human, who cradles him in the final moments, unaware that he has been betrayed twice: by the job, and by the friend.
The film ends not with resolution, but with off-screen violence. No plan survives. No one escapes. The final exchange is not strategic, but emotional.
Conclusion: Human collaboration is brittle under pressure. Even shared purpose cannot withstand suspicion, injury, or wounded pride. They will shoot each other faster than they will verify a fact.
This record suggests that Earth criminal units are self-destructive when denied full information and adequate hydration. Nebulon need only introduce a small lie and a locked door — the humans will handle the rest.
