The AEGIS-9B Schematic is a corporate engineering document created before the unit became a fugitive, a protector, or anything resembling a person.

Laid out in clean technical lines, the schematic reduces AEGIS-9B to armor plates, joints, systems, and measurements — the way Hyperion Dynamics intended to understand it. Every panel treats the unit as equipment: a machine to build, test, control, and recover.

But after the journey begins, the schematic becomes something else. It is no longer just a plan for construction. It is a reminder of what AEGIS-9B was supposed to be, and how far the unit moves beyond the limits printed on the page.

As an artifact, the schematic represents the gap between design and identity — the difference between what Hyperion built and what Rosie eventually came to know.
