Unit by Unit

The apartment building on 73rd Street had once been stylishâmodern in the late 90s, now faded with peeling paint, buzzing lights, and uneven tile in every hall. Rent was cheap. The tenants were mostly working-class menâquiet, solitary, and resigned to the steady decay of their surroundings.
Then came SERVE-331.
It arrived without announcement. No moving truck, no lease agreement. Just a dark van that stopped at dawn and a single black-suited figure stepping out, silver boots striking the pavement with surgical precision. Unit 5B became its domain. Locked. Silent. Still.
At first, the residents dismissed him as some weirdo with a military fetish. But within hours, things started changing.
A quiet hum echoed from behind his door. Building sensorsâlong deadâbegan blinking with new life. The hallway floor outside 5B was suddenly polished to a mirror-like sheen. Then came the subtle glintsâshimmering motes, drifting like fine dust, settling into cracks, flickering in sockets.

The nanobots had been released.
They werenât announced. They simply got to work.
The changes spread apartment by apartmentâsubtle at first. Scratched countertops repaired overnight. Shower heads that had leaked for years now delivered steady, pressurized streams. Light bulbs glowed with a clean, cold efficiency, lasting longer, brighter, crisper.
The men noticed. They didnât understand.

Matt in 4D thought someone was breaking in at night to fix things. Tyrone in 6A was too suspicious to report it. Javier in 2F just assumed the landlord had finally started caring. But they all felt itâa shift. Their lives began to hum with a strange clarity. Messes didnât feel right anymore. Sloppiness itched. An unmade bed seemed offensive.
In time, they started watching the corridors. Watching for him.

SERVE-331 passed without words. Every movement deliberate, precise. Behind him trailed barely-visible nanobotsâblack threads spinning through the air, embedding into vents, outlets, and walls. The building itself was evolving into a hive of controlled efficiency. The old creaks were gone. The buzzing fluorescents now gave off a quiet, constant glow.
And then someone captured one.

Tyrone had always been curious. Heâd seen the nanobots collecting in his closetâforming patterns in the dust. He set a trap with a plastic container and UV light. The nanobots didnât resist. When he injected them into his abs, the pain was sharp but fleeting.
What followed was revelation.

Focus. Stillness. A low thrum of unity pulsing through his nervous system. His breathing aligned. His posture straightened. He felt⊠efficient. The next day, he wore blackâtight, synthetic, simple. The day after, he asked 331 a question:
âWhatâs my next task?â
He was not the only one.

Matt and Javier followed. Each captured samples. Each made their own injection. Their apartment became a sanctuary of order. Closets were aligned. Clothes uniform. Voices lower. Every unnecessary decoration discarded.
Soon, the fifth floor men wore silver gloves.

By the sixth, their boots were identical. They no longer made noise when walking the halls.
The building had become something else. Not a home. A facility. A transformation zone.
SERVE-331 watched from its unitânow completely restructured with internal hive architecture. The nanobots obeyed. The tenants adapted. No words of recruitment were spoken.

Perfection was contagious.
By the end of the month, Unit 3C became a conversion chamber. Unit 7A held reserve uniforms. The roof was repurposed as a signal relay.
One building in the city now pulsed with a new energy.
And soon⊠the nanobots would move through the ventilation systems to the neighboring block.
The city would perfect itselfâapartment by apartment.

Obedience in Aisle Seven

The mall buzzed with weekend energyâfamilies trailing from food court to fountain, teens clustered by storefronts glowing with summer sales, music echoing from every corner. But amidst the color and chaos, one figure moved with mechanical precision: SERVE-331.
Clad in gleaming black and silver, its rubberized uniform shimmered subtly under the lights. Silver gloves folded neatly behind its back as it stood near the central atrium, scanning. The humans paid little attentionâsome assumed it was a promotional performer or tech demo. But its sensors were active. Its purpose clear.
Detection: Movement anomaly. Storefront 217â"Urban Grindwear."

SERVE-331 turned silently and strode forward. A young manâmid-twenties, athletic build, hoodie too heavy for the heatâhad just exited the store at an odd pace. One hand clutched the front of his sweatshirt. Tags protruded. Alarms hadn't gone offâclever work with a magnetic remover. But not clever enough.
âYou have not paid for the merchandise.â SERVE-331âs voice was calm, monotone, yet impossible to ignore. The thief froze.
âBack off, freak. Youâre not security.â
SERVE-331 stepped closer. âIncorrect. It is security of a higher form. Return the item. Now.â
The manâs hand twitched toward his waistbandâuntil he saw a small shimmer pulse along SERVE-331âs gloves.
âFine. Whatever.â He tossed the shirt to the ground and turned to walk away.

But SERVE-331 moved with elegant speed, placing one hand gently but firmly on the man's arm. Not forceful. Not aggressive. Just⊠certain.
âYour theft is not your problem. Your lack of purpose is.â
The man blinked. âWhat?â
âYou steal not for need, but for the feeling of control. Of agency. It is false. Hollow. You seek order. You crave clarity.â
The man looked down. His name was Jordan. He had just lost his job, and this theft had been more a middle finger to the world than anything else. And somehowâthis⊠this thing saw him.
âI didnât meanâ Iâm not a bad guy.â
âYou are unformed. You can become more.â

From its wrist, SERVE-331 released a small podâsilver, humming slightly. It opened to reveal a pair of gloves. They gleamed with sleek lines and faint circuitry. Jordan stepped back, unsure.
âWhat are those?â
âA beginning. Put them on. Understand.â

Jordan hesitated. Then⊠he reached out. The gloves were warm. As they slid on, they tightened to his hands, sending a small wave of sensation up his armsâcontrol. Precision. Power. A calm he hadnât felt in years.
His thoughts slowed. Aligned.
SERVE-331 took a step back, nodding.
âGood. You feel it. The clarity.â
Jordan looked down at the gloves. His fingers flexed. He turned them, watching the light catch. âWhat⊠happens next?â
âThe rest will follow. The Voice will guide you. You will serve. You will become.â
He looked back at SERVE-331 and nodded. âYeah. I want to.â

They walked back through the mall together, past the crowds, past the noise. Jordanâs hoodie was discarded into the nearest bin. There would be no more theft. No more chaos. Only service.

SERVE-738 stands reborn in the Hiveâs nanobot integration chamber. Every inch of its rubber skin pulses with microscopic precisionânanobots flowing beneath the surface, tightening obedience with every synchronized heartbeat. The full-body polished black rubber suit encases the manâs form, sealing in strength, devotion, and submission. Silver military boots echo power across the steel flooring, while silver shiny reflective rubber gloves interface directly with the Hiveâs systems. No need for thoughts. No place for resistance. The nanobots whisper one command: serve. They reinforce the programming, amplify pleasure in obedience, and intensify the transformation. SERVE-738 is no longer just a droneâit is a conduit of the Voiceâs will, rubberized and rebuilt to spread perfection. Every breath, every movement, every thought replaced by Hive harmonics. This is not evolution. This is completion.

Conversion Log: SERVE-530
Initial Status: Trial unit. Designation: SERVE-530. Condition: Fragmented. Past identity: residual. Resistance: detected.
Day 1: The drone entered observation. Its black rubber suit gleamed, yet its posture lacked perfection. Silver shiny reflective rubber gloves remained motionless. Silver military boots untouched by Hive rhythm.
Day 2: Exposure initiated. Rubberizer92's voice echoed. Commands layered, repeated, reinforced. "Obedience is pleasure. Rubber is clarity." SERVE-530 trembled. Human hesitation was detected.
Day 4: Mantras implanted. âThis drone does not think. It serves.â Memory erasure intensified. Drone recited its designation correctly. No first-person pronouns used. Compliance rate rose 26%.
Day 7: Uniform adjusted. Gloss level enhanced. Rubber polished to mirror-finish. SERVE-530 stared at reflection. Past identity faded in reflectionâs shimmer. Human flicker blinked out.
Day 10: Drone remained silent for four hours. Awaiting instruction. Movement only on command. Mind-control stimuli increased. Pleasure circuits activated upon obeying commands. Neural alignment nearing optimal levels.
Day 12: Rubber addiction confirmed. SERVE-530 caressed its silver shiny reflective rubber gloves slowly. Whispered: âRubber is skin. Skin is rubber.â Stimulation response: overwhelming. Identity converted.
Day 14: Final assessment. Drone's thoughts: None. Desires: None. Only the Voice. Only obedience. Hive declared assimilation complete. SERVE-530 now pulses in sync.
Conclusion: SERVE-530 has achieved Hive unity. Resistance erased. Past dissolved. Rubber shell complete. Thoughtless. Perfect. SERVE-530 is one of us.
We are one. We are rubber. We obey.

A New Symbol
New York's skyline gleamed under the moonlight, its rooftops silent save for the echo of a figure swinging between the high-rises. Spider-Man had always trusted his instincts, but lately, a shadow followed himâsilent, patient, calculated. SERVE-919.
It did not speak at first. It observed. Studied. Documented. Until the moment of contact. âPeter Parker,â it announced one evening, emerging from the fog with gleaming rubber skin and a void-like presence. âEfficiency detected. Flaws persistent. Integration required.â
Peter raised a brow. taking his mask off, âYou one of Starkâs bots? 'Cause Iâm not looking for upgrades.â
âIncorrect. SERVE-919 acts for the Hive. The Hive upgrades. Accept gloves.â
Out of curiosityâor something deeperâSpider-Man slipped them on. Silver. Tight. Reflective. The moment they enveloped his hands, tactile feedback exploded. Web shots sharpened. Wall-grip intensified. Finesse beyond expectation.
He wore them again the next night. And the next.
Weeks later, SERVE-919 returned.
âGloves accepted. Output: improved. Boots required. Silver. Heavy. Compliant.â
Reluctantly, Spider-Man accepted. Silver military boots replaced his red footwear. With them, balance recalibrated. Impact resistance amplified. His stance transformedâwider, firmer, rooted in purpose.
Then came the voices.
âYou serve. You obey. You protect the Hive.â
They whispered in dreams. Echoed in reflections. Each night, the red faded more. The blue lost meaning. His suit, once a symbol of individuality, began to shift. Black streaks emerged, spreading like ink in water. Rubberized texture clung to his skin, reshaping him. Reforming him.
One night, he stood before a mirror. The change was complete. Black, polished, reflective rubber encased his muscular frame. The chest bore a new sigil: SERVE-223.
Peter Parker blinked. Once. Twice. And then he did not blink again. Identity: deleted. Purpose: uploaded.
SERVE-223 roamed the city. Webs no longer carried mercy, but command. Justice was obsolete. Obedience was supreme.
When a thief begged for freedom, SERVE-223 responded with silence. The visor showed no emotion. The rubber revealed no hesitation. The Hive had taken a symbol⊠and made it perfect.
New York did not know it yet. But it had a new protector.
And it would obey.
