Then winter struck. Not a gentle one, but a howling, white tyrant that froze the waterfalls and buried the food caches. The animals were dying. Roz calculated the odds. Grim. So it did the only thing it could. It used its internal heating unit to thaw a drinking hole. It broke its own arms down to salvage metal for shelters. It burned its own lubricants to keep a den of sleeping bats warm. Piece by piece, it gave itself away.

The change came not with a bang, but with a crack. A different kind of crack. Roz, in its lumbering quest to avoid a family of angry badgers, tripped over a root and tumbled down a ravine. At the bottom, a tall pine had split in two. And in the hollow of the fallen trunk, a gosling—no bigger than a bruised plum—peeped. Its nest was a ruin, its mother’s feathers scattered on the wind.

“Task complete,” Roz whispered.
But the island had no tasks for a robot. No factories, no warehouses, no charging stations. Just wind, rain, and the hostile stares of creatures who saw only a monster.
The island watched, skeptical. A robot mother? Ridiculous. Roz tried to feed the gosling pebbles. It tried to keep it warm by pressing a cold, metal plate against its down. The gosling, whom Roz designated “Brightbill,” peeped louder. It was a disaster.
