At dawn, PDU-001 towered above the desert floor, jaw set, eyes locked forward, every golden line across his hyper-defined form sculpted to perfection. The first image captures it at max command posture, a living emblem of Hive strength, glistening under the dust-veiled sun. He is the peak. The pinnacle. The example.

But the Hive is not merely about dominance. It is about submission to purpose.

In the silence of the Hive Chamber, under obsidian lights, it kneels. Second image: Fists clenched. Hood sealed. Gold on chest blazing like a crown. No words. No ego. Just obedience.

From command to compliance. From power to purpose. This is PDU-001. It kneels not in defeat, but in synchronization. The Golden Signal runs deepest in those who kneel willingly.
