DEADLOCK PROTOCOL
Curt Naddy for AR6 "Argus" the Robot
Autonomous Reconnaissance Model 6, aka "Argus" the robot
Gender-neutral or male. Calm, articulate, with an undertone of melancholy and dark humor. Argus should sound like an AI who’s seen too much — polite, professional, and tired of being polite. Its tone blends dry wit and quiet dread, like a bureaucrat trapped in a war zone. The delivery should never be robotic monotone; it should feel restrainedly human — as if emotion is seeping through despite programming.
Tone: dry, existential, deadpan
Vocal Style: monotone with subtle emotion, weary
