=== Synopsis ===
The scene opens on the [[Helper Corporation facility|Helper Corporation training facility]], where genetically engineered cat-people are bred, brainwashed, and "[[Helper programming|trained]]" to be slaves. A [[Helper]] who will eventually be known as [[Pandora]] tells her [[Product Care Agent|overseer]] [[Kyndley]] that she [[enby:Transfeminine|is a girl, despite being assigned male at birth]]<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-3/</ref>. Kyndley reminds Pandora that Helpers are created to serve their owners, and Pandora's future master won't be happy with a boy who thinks she's a girl. Pandora responds that she isn't "a boy who thinks he's a girl": she's a girl<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-4/</ref>.
Kyndley tells Pandora that she is broken<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-5/</ref>, and takes her to a doctor. The doctor explains that some Helpers just are trans, and [[Monopolith]] doesn't understand why<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-6/</ref>. Kyndley plans to have Pandora's memory erased and give her a new personality to make her a boy<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-8/</ref> Pandora screams "I'm not a boy!" and runs off<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-9/</ref>.
Pandora crawls through a vent, and finds herself among helpers who are about to be shipped to buyers
By sheer chance, the delivery drone containing Pandora suffers from an engine failure and lands in the middle of the desert, where the [[Pioneer City]] [[The Resistance|resistance]] finds it<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-15/</ref>.
When resistance member [[Isabelle Monday]] realizes the pod contains a person<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-16/</ref>, she goes to open it<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-18/</ref>. What Isabelle doesn't know is that the pod contains a gas which causes Helpers to view the next person they see as their owner<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-19/</ref>. Hence, when Isabelle literally opens [[Pandora's box]], Pandora declares her purpose is to serve Isabelle, leaving Isabelle and the rest of the resistance very shocked<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2019/10/18/chapter-1-page-20/</ref>.
