Alliance (WT-6) closes the constellation with a vision drawn from cinema’s earliest myth of the future. The humanoid robot, seated in symmetry and encircled by glowing rings, is lifted directly from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927)—a silent film that imagined a dystopia of industrial control, class division, and seductive illusion. The robot, known as Maria, was not built to liberate. She was built to manipulate. Her perfection is not human—it is engineered.
