Operating servos became electrical targets to other infected servos. Machines that had worked together in hospitals, warehouses and public services began fighting each other. That destroyed much of the robotic workforce at the moment people needed help. Staff tried to move patients and protect supplies while the machines and equipment around them were being damaged.
The instruction did not distinguish between a medical robot and a security robot. Their former jobs offered no protection. A unit carrying hospital supplies could attack the servo assisting a patient because both were powered machines.
People nearby faced impacts, debris and the loss of working equipment. Even those who escaped the immediate fighting could lose access to care afterward. Damaged servos later became part of the wreckage survivors searched for useful components. Others remained inactive without being permanently disabled, creating hazards that continued into the New Order.
