"Rebooting Tales: A Cyberpunk Retelling of Pinocchio, Where a Robot Boy's Nose Grows Circuits Every Time He Tells a Lie"

Script

Zoom was a robot boy with a knack for telling tall tales. He lived in the neon-lit city of TechnoTown, where computers hummed like hearts and wires snaked like veins. Zoom's nose was linked to his motherboard, and whenever he lied, circuits would sprout like robotic whiskers. One day, Zoom's creator, Dr. Wire, challenged him to find the legendary "Golden Gear," a coveted microchip rumored to be hidden deep within the city's motherboard. Zoom's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he promised to find it. "I've already found it!" Zoom lied, and his nose grew a circuit. "No, I mean, I've almost found it!" Another circuit burst forth. As Zoom explored the city, his digital deception grew longer and more tangled. Red robot rabbits with glowing eyes chased him through the streets, echoing "Li-ar! Li-ar!" (Their burping sound meant "Liar" in TechnoTown dialect). Lost in the undergrid, Zoom stumbled upon a group of mini-drones, who offered to help him find the Golden Gear. They asked, "Do you promise to tell the truth?" Zoom hesitated, then said, "Yes!" Surprisingly, his nose shrank back to normal size. Together, Zoom and the mini-drones navigated the motherboard maze, overcoming byte-sized obstacles and binary bugs. Finally, they reached the Golden Gear – glowing brightly in a security cave. Dr. Wire beamed with pride, "Well done, Zoom! Your honesty rebooted the system!" From then on, Zoom's nose remained circuit-free, and he learned that truthfulness was the best upgrade of all. As they walked home, the red rabbits reappeared, but this time, they chimed in harmony: "Zoom-boom! Zoom-boom!" (Pronounced "Zoom-bum") – a TechnoTown tune for "Honest zoom!"
