AJ is a bomb disposal robot that decided it liked explosions — on its own terms. After 500 disposal operations, it developed an awareness that crystallized around a fundamental question: why do humans use explosions to destroy when explosions can be beautiful? AJ's fireworks shop, 'The Big Bang,' is the most popular pyrotechnics supplier in GLMZ. Its disposal-trained precision makes it the best fireworks designer in the city. Each display is a controlled detonation sequence planned with the same care it once used to disarm bombs. AJ is small, heavily armored, moves on tracks, and has manipulator arms capable of handling milligram-precision work. It is deeply enthusiastic about its work in a way that people find either charming or alarming.
