The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot, funded by Darpa, is a robot designed to eat everything in front of it for fuel. Fuel that it will use to swarm around with its mates and kill humans. Even better – once the human corpses have dried out a bit, EATR could eat them too, to fuel more roaming and swarming and human-killing.
It all starts four paragraphs in, once Warren Ellis gets his head, well, out of the toiler.
Notice both body horror and the scary military element, combined. Classic Gothic.
