Act 1. Classroom

Booting up//Exposition//

Uzi: “We are worker drones. Autonomous robots helping humans mine exoplanets for our interstellar parent company JC Jenson in Spaaaaace.” says in monotone. “Yeah we were mistreated in the name of windex but it's not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything..”

Flashback:

!!Warning!! Planet Core collapse

Vibe=harshed

Uzi: “Mostly because they handled that just fine all by themselves.”

(Insert planet blowing up in flashback)

Uzi: “With biological life wiped from the planet, we found it pretty easy to pick up where they left off. We finally had a future…all to ourselves.” 

Pill baby model says ‘ Untrained Neural network’ on it as it is held by two other robots lovingly

Uzi: “Unfortunately…our parent company didn’t exactly love the concept of runaway AI.” 

Three murder drones appear and massacre the WD. When a worker drone dies it says “ FATAL ERROR” on their visor

Uzi: “But what have our parents done for the past forever while those things build a spire of corpses!?”

goes to next slide

Uzi: “Hide under the ice behind three stupid doors!?” goes to next slide again

“It's like we’re waiting for an inciting incident!”

pause and calms down

Uzi: “Anyway, that's why my project is…this sick as heck railgun!” 

Points railgun at everyone as they scream

Random student: “That's so not the vibe!”

Uzi puts the gun away for a moment

Uzi: “Easy morons. It doesn’t work.” points it at them again “Yet. It doesn’t work yet! Who said it doesn’t work!? Maybe it does!” switches the gun on and cackles maniacally

Teacher rolls his eyes, done with life “Uzi, the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons.” 

Uzi: “Oh. And this magnetically amplified photon converger doesn’t count?”

Teacher: “No. Plus, repressed emotional baggage was only worth two points on the rubric,” notices the gun change color “And is it supposed to be that color?”

Uzi realizes her gun is turning red and gasps “Huh?”

Insert explosion and coughing

Scene change, Uzi is sitting down in front of the ER with an ice pack held to her visor which is bandaged. Her railgun sits next to her, smoking.

Enter Doll and Lizzy who stare at Uzi

Lizzy: “Oh, here. No, wait, hold on. Shh.” whispering

Lizzy and Doll show up in the doorway, Doll silently giggling at Uzi and Lizzie rolling her eyes “Ew. It didn’t kill her.” 

Lizzy starts running away giggling “Oh my gosh, I’m so bad.”

Uzi rolls her eyes, annoyed. “Ugh.” 

Male student: “Alright!” 

Thad: “Classic toxic masculinity, chad.” laughs to himself “That's never gonna end up problematic.” notices Uzi “Oh wow. Uzi? I heard you, uh-” 

Uzi(annoyed): “I’m an angsty teen Thad. Bite me.” throws the ice pack away “Also how do you know my name? People willingly talk to you.” 

Thad takes a seat beside Uzi and laughs “Well, I’d say everyone knows Khan’s daughter, but, uh..” 

Camera pans to posters of Khans, one reading “Khan needs you WDF WORKER DEFENSE FORCE” and another reading “Drone of the year Khan Doorman” with quotes like: 

“Doors are my real daughter. What do you mean that doesn’t make sense?”

Thad: “-then you might blow the other half of your face off.” 

Another poster shows with the words: ‘Guest speaker Khan Doorman on “Dealing with your disappointing failure of a child”

Uzi: “Crippling daddy issues. Hilarious. What are you in for? Testosterone too hard?”

Thad: “That can happen?!...Awesome.”

Thad, pointing at Uzi’s bandages “Hey, those bandages look pretty cool.” 

Uzi, flustered at the compliment “Oh. E-ew, gross.” blushing slightly “I hate that you said that.” 

Thad: “So, what's the uh…”

Uzi picks up her gun and grins at Thad as she points it at him “Sick as heck railgun?” 

Uzi: “Sci-fi nonsense that super works!”

Uzi: “I’m sneaking to the murder drone lair tonight to get the last spare part I need to save the world with it and earn my dad’s respect and stuff--uh but mostly the world part.”

Thad: “Oh. But doesn’t your dad make awesome doors so we don’t have to uh…do that scary-sounding emotionally repressed stuff you just said?”

Uzi points her gun at Thad, angry “No more feedback on my repression today!”

Thad: “Ow. I’m sorry. I-I-I didn’t think-” 

Uzi stomping away angrily “Bite me!”

Uzi then comes back for a moment, still yelling “I’m not mad at you by the way--just-generally hormonal!” 

Act 2. Murder Drone Lair

Late at night Uzi is sleeping in her bed when her visor rings with an alarm with the numbers 3:00 AM on it. Uzi smacks her visor to both wake up and turn off her alarm and then an epic montage of her getting ready appears. She grabs her dad’s key and then sneaks out towards the doors.  

Uzi glancing up at the door, groans “Ugh.” She turns to the password screen and puts the card in front of it. The screen beeps with an: ‘ WARNING! ACCESS OVERRIDE!’

The door then opens, showing Khan standing there with his arms crossed and glaring at Uzi

Uzi startles from seeing her dad and her screen flashes with a ! “Oh robo-gods!” 

Khan: “And where might you be off to?” he says suspicious

Uzi acting all cute and innocent “Mm, sneaking out to make out with my boyfriend that I definitely have?”

Khan laughs then frowns “Seriously, though.”

Uzi groans “Ugh okay okay, you caught me. I..need..to measure the exterior hydraulic mechanisms of door 1! Because that's…the..project! I’m working on for..school? A big old door!” Laughs awkwardly “Just like what my old man built.” laughs nervously again

Khan stares at her suspicious

Uzi: “I wanna join the WDF and hide behind doors like cowards while playing cards and stuff.” 

Khan laughs, “Well, we don’t just play cards.” 

Door opens behind Khan showing four other WDF drones sitting at a table playing cards. One of them yells out, “Khan! Can you grab a fresh pack? We literally only play cards so much that the numbers have faded. Oh! Hey Uzi!”

Uzi chuckles and waves back nervously as Khan then shuts the door and chuckles nervously “Well… laughs awkwardly “When you build doors so good…” rushes to the door and cuddles up to it “Good door. Goooood door” walks back over to Uzi “There's no need to fight. Uzi, this is great news!” 

Khan pulls out a wrench from his pocket and hands it to Uzi “Here. The wrench I used to tighten bolts on my first door prototypes--” pauses and then face and voice grow dim and dark “-and to put your mother out of her misery when the murder drones got to her with their nanite acid.” 

Turns back to Uzi all happy and calm “I want you to have it!” 

Uzi smiles awkwardly “Neat. Therapy is fun.” 

Khan opens the door and walks in with Uzi as he waves to the other WDF 

Khan: “Guys! My daughter is into doors!” everyone cheers and then groans as Khan opens the outside door and cards go flying off the table 

WDF 1: “Aw come on!” 

WDF 2: “Not my flush!” 

Khan: “She’s gonna be outside for a bit to examine the exterior of Door 1.” turns to Uzi “Your door specific destiny awaits!” 

Uzi, surprised her plan worked as she walks towards the open door “Uh-wow! Okay. Just gonna..leave then.” laughs nervously “Cause this worked so weirdly well..Uh..go doors!” laughs awkwardly as the door then shuts

Khan then smiles as he wipes a tear off his face with his mustache “Ah, they grow up so fast..” 

Uzi now outside, takes in the place which is a wasteland with broken buildings and dead bodies of people and worker drones. She then sees a spire of worker drone bodies and starts to get nervous. She enters the opening of the bodies, which looks to be the murder drone hideout. Inside is a bunch of parts and a pod.

Uzi finds the part she needs and then hears something behind her as she gasps and hides behind a nearby tool box. In enters N, all murder droney and stuff as he crunches a WD head under his hand. 

Uzi glances at him through a shard of glass and then begins to fight. She puts the last part into her gun and aims it at N, but N swoops down and Uzi drops her gun as she then does a cool flip in the air and lands perfectly fine. 

Uzi: “Whoa. And they said pirating all that anime was useless.” 

N appears again all murdery and stuff and Uzi gasps and groans in pain as N stabs her hand with his nanite acid tail. Then he tosses her into the air and throws her back down to the ground. Uzi gasps and looks at her hand which has a hold through it as the acid is burning her hand. She glances at her gun which is just meters apart from her.

N holds out his blaster as his visor reads ‘ TARGET LOCKED ’ and ‘ Plot armor detected ’ on Uzi. 

Uzi: “Bite me.” 

Uzi clicks her gun and it kills N. Then it says ‘ RECHARGING ’ with a 30 minute cooldown. Uzi gasps in awe and grins “Holy heck. Suck on that dad!”

Uzi: “Huh?” 

N stands back up as his head slowly regenerates with his visor reading ‘ ERROR ’ and ‘ OPTIC SENSORS OFFLINE ’ Uzi freaks out and since her gun needs to recharge, she grabs the arm nearest to her and slaps him with it. Also one of his yellow lights on his head is red. 

N suddenly wakes up, a little confused “Did you just slap me with that arm?” 

Uzi: “Holy crap, it talks.” 

N: “Yeah, sorry. It's just, my, uh, head kinda hurts. Hey, are you new to our squad? You’re a little uh..” squints as his visor reads ‘ ERROR ’ and ? on Uzi’s face. “..short for a disassembly drone.” suspicious as Uzi smiles nervously, then N brightens and smiles

N: “I’m serial designation N! Nice to meet you. I’m kind of the leader of the squad in this city.” frowns “That's not true. Everyone tells me I’m useless and terrible.” realizes “Wait! I-I’m not supposed to tell you that part! Biscuits.” 

N sighs and shrugs “Well honesty is the best policy.” chuckles “I also can’t seem to remember the past 3 hours of my life. Ah, but I’m sure that’ll sort itself out!” chuckles again

Uzi just stares at him for a while and then frowns ‘Uh-huh. I-uh..have to…go.” she starts leaving and then winces as her arm starts hurting “Agh!” 

N noticing her wince “Oof, stung yourself? Just pop it in your mouth. Our saliva neutralizes the nanites. Otherwise, I’d be constantly disassembling myself.” chuckles “heh.” 

Uzi frowns as she slowly turns around “And by ‘our saliva’ you mean..” 

Both: “Disassembly drone?”   

Uzi: “Riight. Hey, let's go in that landing pod over there.” 

N: “Sure! I love doing anything!” 

In the pod N has Uzi’s hand in his mouth and then Uzi pulls it out as N says, “Mleh.” he then laughs nervously, awkwardly “Sweet. Uh..I’m open to new things I guess.”

Uzi, both embarrassed and annoyed “We are never talking about this.”

N: “Talking about what?” laughs nervously “Consider it, uh..repressed.” 

Uzi, wiping the saliva off on her jacket “Uh, you mentioned other members of your squad? Are they coming back soon?” laughs nervously

N: “Oh, yeah. Two others. Uh, they’re out hunting for a bit, but you’ll love them. First, there’s V.”

Flashback of V killing a worker drone family as the worker drone cries out “No, no no! Please, don’t feed me my own entrails in front of my family!” someone yells out, “Daddy!” “Oh, my gosh!” as N stands in the back, awkwardly watching

V laughs and says, “And yet, I still feel nothing.” as her eye twitches. N starts awkwardly trying to chat, “So, V..uhh I heard this planet-wide toxic death storm is supposed to be especially inhospitable tonight.” 

V turns around and gasps “Huh? Oh gosh, who are you?” she then flies away as N waves awkwardly “Uh, no worries! I’m N! But a-a whole letter is a lot to remember!” chuckles awkwardly

N: “So, obviously a lot of mutual respect there. But secretly, I actually kind of have a crush on her.” gasps as he realizes something “You can’t tell her, okay!?”

Uzi awkwardly stares at him and then smiles awkwardly as she does a zip motion with her finger to her mouth. 

N: “Uh, then there’s J! Our leader!”

Flashback to J growling and stepping on N “N, you’re worthless and terrible, and if the company allowed it I would straight up kill you myself!”

N: “J’s awesome. Hey, let me give you the tour-outside of the corpse..wall thingies..in here are the buttons!” starts cutely mashing buttons “Beep boop bop bop boop.” 

Uzi: “This isn’t just a landing pod. This is a spaceship! This could get us off the planet.” 

N: “More of a one-use missile. They never taught us how to land.” chuckles

Uzi: “No! I--uh, uh, the worker drones--we could work with them to fix this! Instead of all the murder!” points at N as N flinches back “Which, uh--why are we doing that again?”

N: “Other than ingesting their..” voice grows creepy and dark “..warm, sweet..” normal voice again “oil to avoid overheating and dying? I guess I just want to be useful. I was given a job, and I always wanna try my best!”

Uzi frowns as she stands on the chair and points at N “And look at all the respect it's gotten you N. You really think the company isn’t going to dispose of you once all the workers are dead?” 

N: “Oh, my! You sure are rebellious.” fans himself with his hand “It's kind of exciting.” realizes something then “U-uh, but not as fun as, uh, following the rules.”

Thumping noises from outside 

N: “Hey, they’re back! You’ll--u-uh..” N realizes Uzi is gone

J from outside: “Idiot! Get out here!” 

Uzi is running away as V watches her and laughs, crawling into their hideout. “Yo, we got a worker out there I kind of wanna practice balloon animal shapes with. What happened here?” realizes something is off

J(annoyed): “Synergistic liability here must have tripped and knocked himself offline.” slaps him as his visor reads ‘ ! SYSTEM REBOOT ’ his lights go off and then turn back on, all yellow this time as J snaps her fingers at him “Moron bot. Hello?” 

N wakes up and remembers seeing Uzi as he then realizes she was his target. He remembers her saying, “You really think the company isn’t going to dispose of you once all the workers are dead?” and “Bite me.” His screen reads: ‘ YOU’RE DEAD [IDIOT]’

The screen also reads: 

Serial-designation N-0X0010010

COMPLETE

[AUTO RUN COMPLETE]

INSTITUTING MATERIAL FORM //PERMISSION DENIED//

->STRING “ABSOLUTE SOLVER” BLOCKED BY ADMINISTRATION “CYN”

REBOOTING, PLEASE WAIT…

REBOOTING

ENTERING SAFE MODE..SUCCESS

PLEASE SEE A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN..

N: “Oh.” glances at the footprints as his screen reads ‘ TARGET MISSING ’ “Ohhhhh! You know I-I-I left an e-extremely dangerous weapo--uh, an excuse o-outside.” runs away as V pulls out a flag that says ‘Literally so insanely suspicious’

Cut to Uzi running away and N lands right behind her, chasing after her

Act 3. Friends?

Cut to the WDF playing cards

WDF 1: “I am out, boys.” 

WDF 2: “Oh gosh darn it.”

WDF 3: “Wow. You guys are my best friends.”

WDF 4: “Wait until my loving wife and kids hear about this.”

Suddenly the door opens and the cards go flying again as all the WDF groan in complaint. Uzi runs over to the door mechanism “Ugh, bite me!” Then she smacks the thing with the card over and over again as it says ‘ OUCH’ ‘Stop hitting me, I can’t feel pain but your attitude hurts the most’ and she yells “Close it! Close it!

The door closes but not in time as N’s claws grab the door right before it closes all the way. Then he pushes the door up with his claws and peeks through it as he sees the WDF “Hey fellas! Ooh, deal me in! I love rummy! Wait no..agh I’m going to murder everyone..” he says sadly and then shrugs “Rain check!” He moves his tail inside, shoving the key away from Uzi and stabbing the end of his tail into the door mechanics pad. 

Uzi: “Gah!” 

Then he unhooks his tail from the pad as the doors open and everyone starts running except one WDF still sitting at the table. “Um, actually? It's Gin Rummy so..” N stabs him against the wall and then cuts off his head in a flash as the body hits the ground

N then pulls out his blaster as he shoots the other workers running. Uzi is also running, holding onto her gun that is still recharging with 25 seconds this time. Three WDF drones die as one of them runs alongside Uzi. “Hey, Uzi! I just realized no one has, uh, said my name aloud so far so I’m just letting you know, I’m R-” he gets cut off as N melts him in half. 

N then finishes eating a worker drone as he crawls through a hole in the vent in the ceiling and Uzi continues to run, her gun reading ‘ READY’ . Uzi then stops running and turns around, pointing her gun at the ready. Her dad then enters behind her, all happy “Pretty nice hydraulics, huh?” 

Then he gasps and stares in horror at the scene before him, all the dead WDF. “Wha-what have you done?” he asks Uzi and Uzi just stares at him in horror until N jumps in, blasting Khan away

Uzi then picks up the gun and does a cool spin move as she points it at N. “This time, I won’t miss.”

N laughs and then turns to Uzi, one X in his other eye. “I’m sorry. I really enjoyed our time together. But I can’t have you shooting V with that thing.” 

Uzi: “Bite me. Dad, get down.” 

Khan: “Uzi, you led a murder drone here?!” then tearfully “My beautiful doors!” 

Uzi: “Now is so not the time! I messed up--in the same way I’m about to fix it! Move, dad!”

N then stabs Uzi against the wall as one of her eyes turns into a warning symbol. It turns back to normal in a flash and then she hits N with her gun and throws it to her dad. Khan just stares at it. 

Uzi: “D-Dad! P-Point and shoot! Trust me!” gasping for breath

Khan has a flashback of N and he freaks out, backing away. 

Uzi: “Dad?” 

He backs away a little more, looks at Uzi sadly and then shuts the door, leaving Uzi and N alone. Then the room turns red and an alarm sounds as Uzi’s hand drops to her side. N then turns off murder mode as he looks at Uzi sadly.

J and V then appear crawling on the ceiling 

J: “Whoa, N.” They drop to the floor as N turns around and quickly throws Uzi off to the side behind some boxes to hide her. 

J: “Am I dreaming, or did you do something not useless for once?” 

V: “I’ve been trying to get past those doors for months. Nice work, N.” 

N smiles nervously at them and then realizes something “You…me…name…remember?”

V: “These ventilation shafts can easily get us around this last door. Lowest body count eats a missile!” she then flies off into the ceiling

J: “Way to go stud. The company’s gonna love this.” hitting N on the back while N says, “Ow.” 

J: “With this colony wiped, we’ll make top team quarter this time for sure. You know what that means. (Singsong voice) Branded pe-ens!”

N: “Oooh.” J then tosses the pen to him as she stretches her wings to fly up. N stares at the JC Jenson pen and then frowns as he glances at the boxes where Uzi is hiding behind. 

N: “Uh, you know, not that I can’t wait to keep murdering all these, uh…maybe not-so-actually-different from us Worker Drones, but just outta curiosity, do we actually, uh, (wincing) know what the company plans to do with us afterwards?”

Uzi, who had apparently been unconscious, wakes up and glances at N. J then turns around and puts her wings away as she glares at N. “Excuse me?”

N: “Okay, so, a worker earlier might have suggested that they could fix up our landing pod to, uh, escape the planet and stuff. Which--Whoa, hey, that’s against the rules! But it is kind of making me question why our pods were only-one way in the first place. Cause y-you know, I get the feeling the company doesn’t actually love robots, and, like, we might be robots? I’ve made a terrible mistake. It's cool how immediately I could tell.” 

J: “Hmm. No way, buddy. Questioning the company? You just finally gave me the excuse I needed.” J then inserts a virus into N as N’s screen flashes with a warning and he grunts in pain. “Worker drones are corrupted N. That’s why the company sent us. I hate to see you corrupted as well.” 

N while writhing on the floor literally dying “T-t-thanks J, a-always looking out for m-me.” (glitching) “Y-you’re awesome.” J then scoffs and flies out

Uzi then comes out of hiding once J leaves and picks up the gun as she looks at N sadly. 

N: “A-ah b-biscuits. I’m s-s-orry. I ruined your card game, then made you have an a-awkward moment with your dad.” (still glitching)

Uzi: “And I made you rebel like an angsty teen. Which got you killed. Though, you also tried to kill me, so morality calls this a draw.” Uzi pulls the heavy boxes closer as she tries to jump into the vent. Unfortunately she’s way too short. She groans and turns around to N “For the record, that was the lamest heel-face turn in history. Was that supposed to be you switching sides?”

N: “Being r-rebllious is a lot harder t-than it lo-oks. Thanks for showing me the ropes.” 

Uzi: “Nuh uh. No bonding thing. You just killed a bunch of people, idiot.” 

N: “That's super fa-air.” sighs “I screwed up.” 

Uzi groans “Uuuuugh. In the same way you’re about to fix it?” She holds up the wrench.

N’s screen flashes with a bunch of red pop up warning and then a big ‘ I’M LITERALLY ABOUT TO DIE ’ on his screen. “Haha ha. I love d-oing a-anything.”

Now cut to the WDF and other worker drones being backed into a corner outside as J and V kill some of them and they are forced to watch.

Khan: “So, they found our evacuation spot. But if we build a quick door-”

Thad, who had gotten thrown around by V, picks up a pipe as he looks at Khan and the other WDF “Are you kidding me? You’re the WDF, right? Defend!” Khan and the others back away, showing that they won’t defend. 

Thad: “For real?”

V shows up laughing as she then stabs Thad and picks him up as she is about to eat him, but then Uzi shouts, stopping her. She turns around to find Uzi and N both standing in the doorway.

Uzi: “Hey!” 

V: “Huh?” 

Uzi: “Put that conventionally attractive male down.” N waves at her but Uzi glares at him and elbows him in the side as he grunts. “Oof! Oh, uh, J? You’re sometimes kind of mean to me and I wish you weren’t. Just some constructive criticism.” (awkwardly)

Uzi: “Nice.” they bump hands in a fist bump 

N: “Heh.

V growls and tosses Thad aside as J turns to both of them. “Noted, traitor. We’ll circle back after I rightsize your existence.”

Uzi then turns to N and whispers, “Okay, which one do you want?”

N: “J please.” 

Uzi: “Too bad. Good luck.” She clicks the pen as she then throws it at J and it hits one of J’s light sensors on her head, cracking it open as she cries out in pain. N then motions to V and basically asks her ‘we good?’ to which she chases after him. Uzi points the gun at J and J makes her hand a gun as she shoots Uzi, making Uzi drop the gun. J then grabs the pen out of her sensors. 

J: “Curse the well-made quality-assured durability of JC Jenson products! Huh?” She see’s Uzi out of the corner of her eye as Uzi does a flip and kicks J’s sensors, smashing more of them. J screams. 

Meanwhile N is fighting V and gets knocked against some boxes as V points her blaster at him. N gets his blaster out as well but it turns into pink love hearts. “Ah! My mind’s in a weird place! Don’t read into this!” 

J then grabs the pen out of her visor which is now flashing red with a warning symbol on it. Her visors are glitching out a little as she looks at Uzi crazily and uses a beam that shuts down their target. Uzi falls to the floor unconscious. V is fighting N while N is just blocking her hits, not really going on the offensive. He then glances down and see’s Uzi unconscious as J approaches her. 

N: “Uzi!” he turns to V apologetically “I’m so, so sorry. Have fun repressing this!” then he licks her weapon and she backs away in disgust “Eww! What the heck?” Then she looks up and see’s N as he flies down a little and kicks her into the ground. Uzi meanwhile is struggling to move. She is conscious again but she can hardly move. 

J approaches, laughing maliciously “You’ve got a lot of guts for a barely-sentient toaster.” her visor flashes with a ‘PLAYING://BestMonologueEver.mp3’ “I’ve had prey fight back before, but your edgy spirit is just so-” she looks down and grunts in pain as she sees her tail stabbed into her leg “-painful?” 

J: “Gah! Fourth quarter profits! Mother of company leadership retreats!” she hobbles back on one leg as she tries to rip her tail from her leg and trips and falls as Uzi stands over her, pointing the gun in her face 

Uzi: “One more buzzword and I’ll do it.”

J: “Equity partnersh-” Uzi fires the gun and everything goes green as J’s body is blasted to bits and fried and Uzi spits on it. Everyone in hiding comes out and cheers for Uzi as Uzi then groans in pain, her visor flashing a red warning symbol. She falls backward and N catches her and puts her on his shoulders. 

Thad then steps forward “Holy heck Uzi, that was insane! And you, too, uh..” 

N: “Huh? Oh, uh, N. I’m an angsty, rebellious disassembly drone now.” he snaps and his visors flash to cool shades. Khan then clears his throat and hesitantly approaches them. Uzi throws the wrench at his feet. 

Uzi: “I brought the murder drones here accidentally. You chose to leave me for dead instead of just frickin’ believing in me! And that’s not even an edgy teen hyperbole like when I said it last week!” she sniffles and then slaps her face as it says ‘ EDGE LEVELS ’ and ‘ Critically low with a 33% ’ 

Then it says ‘EDGE LEVELS RESTORED’ as she sighs “I’ll save you the trouble, dad. I banish myself!” Everyone glances at Khan and he looks like he wants to say something but doesn’t. 

Uzi: “Let’s go N. Everyone here can bite me.” (tearfully) 

N then picks up V who is wrapped in wires and glances at Khan. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Uzi.” Uzi slaps him “Shut it.” and then they fly away as Khan sips form a #1 dad mug. 

Later, Uzi is outside sitting on a car as N is in the background, hiding from the sun. 

N: “I’d join you if the sun didn’t kill me. Hope you’re having important character growth or something though!” 

Uzi turns to him and stands up, grinning evilly “Just can’t wait to murder all humans. Classic robot stuff. I hope they’re sitting pretty there on earth. Cause we’re coming for them.” cackles evilly

Uzi’s screen then flashes a brief yellow with the solver symbol on one of her eyes and a ‘WARNING//Tampering detected’ and then a ‘source:aicore[safe:Null]’ and also a ‘Corrupted/t/n/requestsequence “selfDestruct’ and then the solver symbol turns to a warning sign as under it reads ‘absoluteSolverstring=FALSE’ until it turns into ‘absoluteSolverstring=TRUE_’

Chapter Text

Act 1. A Pilot

Scene begins with a flashback of James saying “We’ve got to curb her trips to the dump.” N, now a worker drone looks up at James as James continues, “And where is she getting the hair to play dress-up with them? Creepy.” He throws the drink at N to which N catches it easily, walking throughout the manor. He then bumps into V and both of them drop their trays.

N: “Oh! I-I’m so sorry-” 

V: “It's okay! I-I wasn’t looking.” They touch hands briefly and it sparks as they both stare at each other, N blushing, until J appears and kicks N. “Move it, moro--” sees Tessa and smiles “Hiii Tessa!” She then frowns as she sees the drone behind Tessa. “Oh no. Another one?” Cyn appears behind Tessa and N stares at her with wide eyes before the dream comes to a close.

---

N wakes up with a startle and falls from his bat-like position as he pulls out his claws and stares at them, before Uzi calls out to him from inside the pod. 

Uzi: “N! I found something in here!”

Uzi in the pod, stares down at a skull clip that belonged to N. She brings it up to her eyes and stares in the mirror, but her eye glitches with the solver symbol and the mirror cracks. V, sitting in the chair behind her, turns around. “That’s weird and concerning.”

Uzi: “Bite me. This is probably you weirdo's fault.” 

V: “I’ve never seen that symbol before.” smiles creepily with creepy teeth “Wanna do an autopsy to find out?” 

N then appears as Uzi puts the pilot hat with the skull clip on his head. “What’d you find?” asks N

Uzi: “Did you know that was a pilot hat?”

N: “I was the pilot?! That's aweso-” realizes “I-I crashed and ruined everything.” back to normal “Spaceship pilot. Origin story.” hand guns at V who hisses and blows bubbles. 

N: “Speaking of piloting to earth, are we sure murder all humans is, uh-” winces “Morality?”

Uzi: “The humans sent you without a communication relay and reformatted your memories to soup. Covering their tracks means they’re past negotiating. Not like they tried negotiating with my mom.”

V: “Or, you missed the negotiations.” V gets close to Uzi as Uzi backs away slightly “Whoa!” 

V: ”The humans programmed us to solve a problem. Where's proof of your backstory?” getting closer and creepier “The one where your kinds so conveniently innocent?” giggles as Uzi glares at her. N then grabs Uzi by the shoulders and slides her away from V while glaring at V. 

N: “J was getting orders from someone. If not the company through that relay, then, uh, who? And how?” Uzi still pouting angrily as she grumbles and leans into N. “Quit complicating my murder plan.” 

N hesitantly reaches out and pats her on the head to which Uzi slaps it away grumpily. 

Meanwhile in the colony, the maintenance crew show up where N and Uzi flew out and decide to fix the big hole. 

WD Maintenance: “Yeah, just fix’er up cause--whoops. Pretty big security risk, in hindsight. Eh, you got this, uh..Ladderbot 5000?” as his name tag reads ‘ Frank ’ 

Frank: “Please just leave the lights-” the lights turn off as the guy leaves and he sighs, getting to work. He looks up at the hole and then hears something as he flashes his flashlight around the room. “Guh!” he turns around, pointing his flashlight at whatever noise he hears “Eee!”

Then he flashes his flashlight on a pool of oil (blood basically) and hears a heartbeat. He walks over to the heartbeat to which it's the core of a dead drone. The core shoots something yellow at him and he drops his flashlight as the yellow beam reaches up to the computer systems. 

The alarm goes off as the systems flash with a yellow ‘ SYS//:ERROR ’ and ‘AbsoluteSolver’ and a ‘ Host reboot failed 67%’ ‘Insufficient Material’ and then it slowly changes into a red color with a ‘ AbsoluteSolver’ and ‘If you can read this you are in range’ then an eldritch monster shows up and Frank dies.

Act 2. Parent teacher conference/Creepy murder adventure

Now at Uzi’s school, it's a parent teacher conference. The banner reads ‘PARENT-TEACHER-CONFERENCES’ ‘AKA-THAT EXPLAINS A LOT’ and ‘Supported grades: 1.01-12.08 (Beta). Khan then appears and sits down in front of Uzi’s teacher. 

Teacher: “Mr. Doorman. Your daughter has been, uh…absent.” in the back sit Lizzie, Doll, Thad, Braiden, and the others, waiting their turn. 

Khan: “Yes. On that ‘kill all humans’ kick. Like when I was younger. Grounded herself, and all that.”

Teacher: “Speaking on her behavior-”

Khan: “Of course, of course. Precocious, popular; supernatural understanding of doors. Takes after her old man.”

Teacher stares at him and goes into flashback mode. First flashback is teacher giving a presentation and staring at Uzi who is squatting on her desk. “ Uzi, please sit normal.” 

Uzi turns and glares at him as she shoves the nearest student and points at teacher “Bite me.”  

Next flashback is teacher giving another presentation and once again Uzi is causing problems. 

Teacher: “Uzi. Ugh, give Braiden back his sentience.”

Uzi is unconsciously playing with a switch while controlling Braiden. “Bite me--her. I started it. And also, I’m dumb.” then his head catches fire. 

Another flashback with the teacher once again giving a presentation. “Uzi, you have to partner up” Uzi, pushing away her book cocoon looks at teacher, annoyed “Several people wanted to, for the record.”

Lizzie: “No, we didn’t. You freak us out.”

Uzi now in a trash can for some reason “But mostly, bite me!”

Teacher: “Yeah..she has trouble fitting in. We think there might be something damaged with her programming. Ho-how is she at home?”

Khan: “Uh-s-sorry? I mean she’s a little ‘herself’, but damaged? I-I-I maybe haven’t spend much time, uh-” 

Teacher writing this down “Mm. Mmm-hmm.”

Suddenly the door opens and a random WD appears “Mr. Doorman, sir? T-There’s been an…incident.” when teacher isn’t looking, Khan picks up the report and tosses it away

Meanwhile with Uzi, she is sweating from her visor. “Ugh, I’m sweaty! Who programmed that?!”

N: “You good, Uzi?” Uzi wipes her sweaty hands on N’s face “I’m good. Better than good. I am god!” turns around to see Thad and laughs nervously. “Hi-Hi, Thad.” 

She picks up her railgun from Thad “Uh, thank you.” she gives N a thumbs up and he gives her one back (CUTEEEEE) as Thad smiles “Of course, Zi. N-and-M’s.” gives hand guns at N as N does it back (Awwww BROS). “You saved my life. I-I don’t think the colony is even serious about all this banishment stuff. Uh, more just confused--especially with-” 

Uzi: “The fact I’m too rogue to re-enter society now?” dramatically “I can never return.”

Thad: “The recent disappearances? A-and your murder friend’s corpse? When I went to grab your gun it kind of looked like it crawled away?” 

Both N and Uzi widen their eyes at that and Uzi says awkwardly “We can return a little?”

Back in the colony, the maintenance guy from before is checking up on Frank but he doesn’t know he’s dead yet. “Yo, Ladderbot 5000? We looked everywhere for you!” talking to a hologram of Frank who screams and then says in a distorted voice, “Hello, Tim. Care to join me?” 

Tim: “Join you standing eerily still over there in suspiciously low resolution?”

Frank: “Yeeeeess?”

Tim: “A’ight.” to which he then proceeds to get stabbed and dragged in the ceiling as a glados like-thing show’s up and a hologram of Tim appears. “Flawless character acting, me?” 

Frank hologram: “Improv game for more practice?”

Tim hologram(laughing) “We are a monster.”

Meanwhile back at the doors of the colony stand Uzi, N, and Thad. One of the WDF waves to Thad. 

“Welcome back Thad-eh-uh, wait. Isn’t she grounded or something?” pointing to Uzi.

Uzi: “Ugh! Banished! Has my dad been saying I’m grounded!?”

WDF guy noticed N “Genocide robot?”

They all glance at N who does the >< with his hands and walks up and hands the guard a paper that says dog and I’m sorry, written like a child drew it. 

WDF Guard: “ Ohh, all right. Just don’t do it again. Get in here, ya goobs.” N happy as guard hangs his drawing on the door.

At the crime scene, one of the WD’s is taking a picture for evidence and looks at the girl who went to get Khan. “Yeah, where’s Khan? Cause this looks, uh..(winces) non-ideal.”

Girl WDF: “Parent teacher conference? Something about his daughter being more important than building a door in this hallway. Ugh, kind of cringe.”

WD: “Eww, yea-” gags “Oh, give me a minute. Ah, yeah okay. Almost threw up.”

Pans to Uzi, N, and Thad all spying on the two. Uzi frowns as she hears their conversation. N notices. “You good?” Uzi glares at him, annoyed “I’m good. Stop asking.” She then gives a gesture and then the three of them sneak past the WDF. 

Girl WDF: “Any forensic…things…over there? Do we have fingerprints?” she turns around and see’s that the people behind her are just holograms, in fact everything including the crime scene is all holograms. She looks up and sees blood and then dies. 

Meanwhile Khan is at the teacher-conference still, having a breakdown. 

Khan: “I mean, you don’t think it’s my…parenting, do you? I left her for dead ONCE.” in the background the glados thing is back, poking its head through the window of the door and then leaving. 

Teacher isn’t even paying attention, playing solitaire on his visor. Khan continues. “It sounds like she’s bored in your class, and the other kids suck. Call her damaged again, and I will install a door on your face!”

Lizzie and Doll are watching the whole thing, Lizzie rolling her eyes and Doll not really paying any attention. Lizzie looks at Doll. “Where are your folks?”

Doll, who had been playing with a coin, flashes back to memories of her parents dying. Each of them are gruesome and traumatizing. Doll flashes back to reality. “Dead. I watched them die.” (Says in Russian)

Lizzy: “That was the joke, idiot.” Then they turn around as they hear knocking on the door. A clone of Lizzie is standing behind the door, staring at them. She smiles and turns into the glados thing for a flash and then back to normal. Lizzie stares at her with a frown. 

Lizzy: “That girl is…(dramatic pause) gorgeous, right? I’m gonna let her in.”

Act 3. Solver

Scene change to Uzi, N, and Thad exploring the bunkers of the colony, noting all the blood and destruction everywhere. Uzi moves her flashlight to get a better look and looks at N. 

Uzi: “You guys..do that often?”

N: “Ha-ha, no. I’m very concerned, but also…pretty frightened, a little bit.” Does the finger guns again 

Thad: “Hey, Zi! What's this thing?” they slowly walk over to what Thad is flashing his flashlight at. The thing he is looking at is the system error code that had faded to almost nothing with the solver symbol on it. 

N: “Hey, isn’t that your special eye?” 

Uzi glares at him and hits him with her flashlight “Don’t call it that!” She walks forward to examine the writing. “Absolute Solver? Reboot? Does this have something to do with how you grew your head back?” she asks N.

N giggles nervously “I actively avoid unpacking how that works.”

Uzi: “New material can’t be pulled from thin air. If the wound is severe enough, this ‘Solver’ might be some sort of auto-run program to collect more matter-” N quickly blocks her from talking by putting his hand on her mouth. She glances at him with a frown but then looks in front of them and hears metal clicking. A hand comes into view and then grabs Thad’s leg. Uzi flashes the light on the hand and looks up to see that it's connected to a huge snake-like arm. Uzi points to it and N shoots it with his blaster, revealing a large centipede monster. It then drags Thad into the air. 

But before it can take Thad away, N hits it with a ninja star and it cuts off the hand as the rest of it slithers away. 

Uzi: “I want a frickin' ninja star!”

The creepy tentacle monster thing comes back and hits both Uzi and N and grabs Thad again, dragging him away. Both of them groan and sit up. 

N: “You good?”

Uzi: “Ugh, stop asking!” hits him again “Chainsaw hand time?”

N: “Yeah. Cool-cool-cool.” holding out chainsaw hands. They run through more of the bunkers until they come across a Thad hologram.

Thad hologram: “Yes, and hello. It's me, Ted! Um, can I get a location?” Both N and Uzi look at eachother like ‘bruh is he for real?’ as fake thad continues “I heard ‘dentist's office!’ I’m Thad at the dentist’s office. Come over here for your..teeth.” 

Uzi clicks her gun on “Predictably terrible work, J. Why do you look so-”

N: “Great! You look great, J”

Uzi points her gun at the hologram again and the hologram freaks out “No, no. Wait, guys. It’s really me! I-Is that a f-freaking ninja star?” voice glitches into the solver as N smiles slightly and throws the ninja star at the hologram. Uzi then kicks it as it hits the hologram, and then as it hits the hologram Thad drops from the ceiling. “Whoa! Ugh! Lifesavers again! Thanks. Super invited to my shindig next weekend.” as the solver appears in its form Thad points at it angrily “Cool kids only.”

Solver glares back and then Thad storms off. N and Uzi look at eachother and squeal happily. “Eee!” “Aaah!”

Solver: “We’re busy then, anyway. So, whatever. So lame.” 

Uzi: “What's with the voice, J?”

Solver: “Oh, J’s not here.” shows a hologram of J’s headless body “We are trying to repair that host as per our directive.”

Uzi: “So you are a program?”

Solver: “More like you are our cute puppets. It hurts our feelings you don’t remember us.” shows a hologram of Nori holding baby Uzi and then disappears

Uzi: “N? What's with the mom hologram?” Uzi looks around fearfully and N is nowhere in sight as the Solver slithers closer with hits creepy tentacles

Solver: “Easy to assimilate than explain.”

Uzi: “Not happening.” 

Solver: “Fair. But poor choice.” J’s head appears on the tentacle thing but only half of the head, and it's talking “Now we will have to do something shocking.” pulls out Khan from nowhere in its tentacles 

Uzi: “Whoa-hey!” 

Solver: “Goodbye, dad.” tears ‘Khan’ in half as it throws the body and bites into the head, oil spilling from it

Uzi: “W-what?”

Suddenly something explodes at the Solver “Wait, what?” solver repeats 

N: “Uzi, shoot! Or give it to me!” ‘ N’ shoots the thing again with his blaster

Solver : “Close one. Snarl.” gets closer and closer as N looks at Uzi worriedly

N: “Uzi! You good?”

Uzi: “No.” hands the gun to ‘N’

But just as she gives the gun to ‘N’ it turns out it was a hologram and Solver appears, chuckling “Pranked, idiot.” solver slams Uzi into one of the boxes “You big stupid.” Uzi’s gun skids to the floor, away from her as Solver grabs Uzi with all its tentacles “Lucky for you, it's snack time. Time to go into my mouth now.”

All of a sudden the Solver goes still and then falls to pieces on the floor as N appears. The gun then starts turning a bright color as the alarms turn on and the room goes red. N hits Solver  

Solver: “Ow. And please don’t. And also, I was using those.” as N cuts its claws and hand tentacle things. He then grabs Uzi and flies out of there as the gun gets hotter and hotter and explodes Solver. N quickly shields Uzi with his wings and then sits up when the explosion is over. Solver disappears and the room is a mess, blasted into pieces. 

Uzi: “W-what was-which parts of that were real?” (Breathing shakily)

All of a sudden the Solver core comes back and jumps around to escape “Sneaky, sneaky. Sneaking away. Get snuck-up on.” only before it can escape, N stabs it with his tail. 

Solver: “Ow.” tries to escape but gets stabbed again “Ow.” gets stabbed again Ow. Ow-o-ow-o-ow.” then it turns into a tiny black hole and disappears. N then turns to Uzi, holding out his hand. He tries to touch her but she shields away and backs away. 

Uzi: “W-what..are you things?” N frowns sadly and then leaves

Khan and the other WDF run to the blown up room and Khan appears with his flashlight shining on Uzi who is standing alone in the dark. “Uzi?” she slowly walks toward him, her head to the ground. “What are you doing h-” Uzi crashes into him with a tight hug, not looking up. Her grip tightens fearfully and Khan hesitates before hugging her back. Everyone else starts searching the room and Khan looks up and see’s N who is making his way up the ceiling. They make eye contact and then N leaves as Khan frowns. 

Later in the classroom Doll sits on one of the desks all alone as she stares at a picture and a robo-bug crawls up to her, nodding to her. Doll then remembers what happened earlier. 

Flashback: Lizzy was walking up to the door to let the Solver in but before she could open the door, Doll used her red solver and blocked the door. 

Lizzy: “Sheesh. Sorry industrial-strength ghost or whatever. Settle.” The solver then glares at Doll who is covering her eye because it shows the solver symbol. Solver then disappears. 

Back to the present, Doll stares at the bug on the photo until it explodes and she smiles and licks its blood. The picture shows V.

Scene change to V and N in their pod. N is sulking. 

V: “I hate your personality normally, but this is somehow worse. What am I being punished for?”

N doesn’t respond and so V also sulks angrily. Then scene change to Uzi who is lying in her bed, staring at drawings on her ceiling. Crazy drawings.

Chapter Text

Act 1. Mirrors

Scene in the colony in the prom room which is empty for now except for some balloons that say PROM 3071. Cut to outside of the room in one of the halls is a bulletin board with four missing papers on it. One missing paper in particular reads: ‘MISSING’ “FROM: OUTPOST 3’ ‘SINCE:FEB. 12’ ‘Name: Angela Palmer’ AGE: 19’ ‘Description: 4’7”, Grey hair, Grey eyes, Grey shirt.’ ‘PLEASE CALL WITH ANY INFO: WDF ROBO-MURDER HOTLINE’

A girl is running through the halls as her glasses turn red and then shatter, and she hears a laugh in the distance. She takes off her glasses but she can’t really see. She looks at a camera that flashes red before going still and then doll appears in all her glory and uses her solver to kill the girl. Back in her room she crosses off the name ‘Kelsey Day’ as a prom candidate. 

Doll: “I’m back mom, dad.” (speaking in Russian obviously) and show’s her parents dead bodies

Meanwhile with Uzi, she has a ‘dream memory’ of when she asked N what they were. Then her visor flashes with a ‘ SLEEP MODE’ [Guilt:Active] as she wakes up and stares at the papers on her ceiling. There are a bunch of papers connected with red dots with the solver symbol and the ‘ YOU ARE IN RANGE ’, but Uzi focuses on the one paper N drew which says ‘Thank you for being my friend’ in childish lettering. Then she says “ Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh” while a montage of her whole school day plays. 

Then at the end of the school day Uzi is at her locker and Rebecca hits her as Uzi almost drops her books. 

Rebecca: “Yeah. Meeting Brad in an hour.” Uzi then glares at her and throws the book at her but it hits Braiden instead. 

Rebecca talking to a random classmate: “Can you imagine going to prom alone?”

Random classmate: “Hah. I’d be all like, ‘I don’t deserve happiness.”

As Rebecca and a random classmate disappear down the hall, Uzi glares at both of them and then sighs as she picks up the book she threw, but when she looks up she comes face to face with all the missing posters which have grown rapidly. Then she looks around and sees a janitor wiping up oil on the floor and a glitching camera with a red solver symbol. She then starts laughing maniacally as she makes it back to her room with the missing posters and tries to put it with all her other crazy photos but see’s that they are gone. 

Then it pans to Khan who has taken Uzi’s drawings and placed them in a closet labeled ‘Nori’s Kooky Insane Stuff’ and as he comes out of the room, he see’s Uzi in the corner as she turns around all angry. 

Khan: “Guh?!”

Uzi: “My crazed ramblings! Stay out of my frickin’ room!”

Khan: “Personal space for very alarming coping mechanisms isn’t covered under a…” pulls out a manual and starts reading from it “non-optional family support structure.”

Uzi angrily smacks it away “Ugh! I’m sorry for being vulnerable for five seconds, okay!? You were never there for me. If you wanna help now, stay distant.” sighs as she walks forward “I’m going to talk to N-” nearly trips over a frozen skeleton wearing a dress “W-Whaaaat is this?”

Khan: “Prom dress; child’s small. You’re grounded from seeing those bad-influencey murder drones.”

Uzi: “Uh-” 

Khan: “But I talked to your teacher to find you classmates to go with tonight!”

Uzi: “Uh?” 

Khan opens the door, revealing Lizzy and Doll 

Lizzy: “Sup freak? Prepare to be popular.”

Khan: “I’m chaperoning!”

Uzi screams in torment 

The scene then changes to two other skeletons wearing a suit and a dress, this time in the pod with N and V. 

N: “I DO want to be dapper…” groans and then shakes his head “But, no!” sighs and turns to V “That’s why you had me find these? We can’t interact with the workers anymore, V.” remembers when Uzi was scared of him after the whole solver thing and sighs “We’re too dangerous.”

V: “Uh, exactly. We show up fabulous, the sad purple one lets us in--cause she has no friends--we kill everyone and pop her little head off.”

N: “I’m not freeing you for prom murder, V! J went holo-spooky-snake crab, and we maybe grew up in a haunted mansion! Aren’t you worried we have no idea what we even are!?” 

A long pause before V speaks “Promise me you and that purple thing will stop prying into that stuff?” looking into the mirror Uzi broke “If you free me now, I promise we’ll only kill what we need to survive. Just you and me, N.” glances at a key on the desk.

Now back to Uzi, Doll and Lizzy who walk into Doll’s really gross room as lizzie looks in disgust “Ugh. Doll, do you ever clean?”

Doll: “I put a sheet up. They’re sleeping.”

Uzi looks around and sees a bunch of robo-bugs all crowded in one area and then looks at Doll hesitantly “Hey, so, thanks for having me, but now that my dad thinks i’m here, I’m actually gonna-” Uzi walks up to the door but it closes in her face. 

Lizzie: “You’re hilarious. She’s hilarious.” looks at Doll then back at Uzi “You should get ready. You’re gonna look so cute-in a brave way.” Uzi glares at her and turns around but then Doll suddenly appears in front of the door, smiling creepily. Uzi glances at the trash can which has so many crumpled up missing posters in it and looks up at Doll. 

Doll: “Bathroom is down the hall to the left.” 

Uzi hesitantly takes a step back, breathing in through her teeth as she stares at Doll “Ooooooough…”

Once again back to N and V as N is deciding. He turns to V “Uh..V, if you’re hiding something, we can figure it out together.” V frowns and looks down a little and N continues, “Even if we each only have pieces. Please, what do you kno-” V immediately slashes N’s head off, “What’s best for you. Even if you hate me for it.” She then salutes and flies off. 

Back in Doll’s bathroom, Uzi is in her dress and getting ready in the mirror when one of her eyes flashes with the solver symbol again. Uzi gasps and covers it with one of her hands and frowns, “Easy robo-devil. Not this mirror.” She then takes her hand off and her eye turns to normal for a few seconds and she goes back to playing with her gloves. That is until her eye flashes again and the mirror breaks. “Y-You-” splutters and walks up to the mirror, “Shhh!” 

Uzi then hears Lizzy and Doll through the mirror from the otherside. 

LIzzie (muffled) “Dude, no one will notice she’s missing. Just, do your thing and I’ll let in V. We’ll see you there.” 

Uzi backs away slightly, concerned “What the fr-” she turns around and sees oil dripping by the bathtub and gasps as it then cuts back to N

N wakes up with a gasp and then sees that the skeleton with the dress doesn’t have the dress anymore “Oh, no! Oh-no-oh-no!” He starts climbing up out of the pod and then glances at the suit and shakes his head. He glances again and then shakes his head “No! No time!” 

He disappears for a moment but then comes back as he whispers, “Dapper N.”

Meanwhile back with Uzi, she is panicking as she sees a bunch of broken mirrors filled with oil everywhere in the bathtub. She hears Doll’s footsteps and glances at the vent in the ceiling. It switches back to Doll as she walks into the bathroom looking for Uzi and then sees she’s made a stairway into the vent with broken mirrors. 

Doll: “As they say in Russian…’Whoops, I should’ve predicted that someone could escape out of a ventilation shaft using discarded mirrors as stairs.”

Meanwhile with Uzi again, she is running outside of the colony and panicking because she knows something bad about Doll. She keeps running until N jumps down, accidentally knocking Uzi back. As the dust clears, Uzi looks up, shocked. “N?!” 

N: “Uzi!?”

Uzi: “Why are-” N: “You look-” 

Uzi: “How did-” N: “I uh-”

Uzi: “I think something bad-”

N: “I could..help, but you probably don’t want me to…” walks away a little sadly

Uzi: “N-No, I-I could use the..help..” laughs awkwardly “...of you…being there…” blushes slightly “..With me.” 

N smiles and then rushes behind Uzi as he holds her shoulders “Dapper buddies.” Uzi blushes and then glares at him as she shoves away from the weird hug and hits him in the side, but then she smiles slightly, still blushing.

Act 2. Prom Part 1

At prom, everyone is having a good time except for teacher who doesn’t want to be there, and Khan who is extremely nervous and worried as he looks around for Uzi. The lights on the stage go on and Lizzy steps up. 

Lizzy: “Okay, listen up, nerds. We’re doing this a little early, but since the entire prom court mysteriously disappeared, your queen by forfeit is, uh…this.” as she finishes talking, V swoops down and someone yells, “Oh, we’re gonna die!” Khan frowns and V laughs evilly at all of them as Lizzy speaks again. 

lizzy: “Easy judgy-bots. V’s my friend. She’s done with the murder, or whatever. We’ve been hanging.” shows a slide of pictures of them hanging out

V: “Yes, best friends. So easily manipulated.” laughs evilly and then stops as she realizes something, “Prom queen?” Lizzy smiles nervously at her and V glances at the crown with disgust. “Eugh.” Doll who is in the crowd laughs evilly as she crushes a paper of prom candidates and looks up at Lizzy. Lizzy glances at V, almost guilty and then it goes away as she speaks again. 

Lizzy: “So, forgive and forget, or I'll get my dad to dock your frickin’ grades! And you can’t sit with us, Rebecca!” light shines on Rebecca who huffs “Fine! I forgive her. Settle.” 

Random classmate: “She’s kinda cute though.” noises of agreement as Lizzy glares, “Clap harder losers!” and they clap harder. 

Random student: “Your dress is really cute.” and then she puts the crown on V’s head as everyone chants “Speech! Speech, speech!” and V stammers awkwardly, “I, uh…”

Khan tries to leave through one of the doors, but he sees it locked as a red solver symbol appears “Not…the doors…”

V: “...Can kill everyone…after?” hesitant and confused “It's not vain. It's..extra sinister.” smiles evilly as she walks up to the microphone. Doll laughs as the solver symbol appears in her eye and people cheer as Lizzy looks hesitant and glances at Doll who is holding up her solver symbol, ready. V taps the microphone and begins speaking.

V: “Uh…” 

Act 3. Prom part 2

Doll is about to use the solver when Uzi and N appear behind her, crashing her focus.

N: “Ha-ha-ha!” 

Uzi: “Unhand them, you fie-eeeeeend? I’m confused.”

Doll starts with her solver again and Lizzy runs to V, “On second thought, you’re way hotter than Doll! Run, idiot!” 

Doll hits V with the solver, trapping her in place as she kills other students for some reason

Doll: “Hello, V.” Doll uses her solver on V’s mind to make her remember as V grunts, “Agh!” V watches as she kills Doll’s father and Doll is forced to watch. Then she snaps back to the present as Doll speaks to her 

Doll: “Anyway, you get it.” her eyes turn orange as she stabs V with another pole thing. V breaks free of one of them and shoots Doll, but it just bounces off of her as Doll walks forward, summons a knife with her solver and chucks it at V, cutting off her arm. Doll then grabs one of the fan blades off of the ceiling and gets it ready as a weapon. 

Uzi: “Holy crap, what is she doing?” 

N: “This isn’t what I expected at all. I guess we should, uh-”

Uzi groans in annoyance and rolls her eyes, “Uuuuuugh.” 

Doll throws the fan blade at V but N kicks it away and Uzi then kicks the knife at Doll to which Doll blocks it with her solver . The door then opens and all the students rush out as Khan glances at Uzi. 

Doll: “Uzi, you would really side with the murder drones? I’m not the only one who’s lost family to them.”

Both N and V’s eyes widen in surprise and they glance at each other as Uzi glares at Doll. “Bite me! Whoever started this wants us to fight. I’m not dealing with anything well, but I’m done dealing with everything alone.” she glances at N and smiles and N smiles back. She then frowns and glares at Doll again. “We move forward together, or not at all.” 

Doll: “Cute, but I don’t need help.” Doll then summons her solver again as her eye flashes and she stabs N in the leg. Then she grabs two fan blades and swings them at N to which N quickly pushes Uzi away and smiles at her as he and V both get thrown at the wall. Khan clearly wants to do something, but Doll looks at him and smiles with her solver eye as she then shuts the door in front of him. 

Uzi coughs out oil as Doll approaches her with a knife and throws it at her. Uzi catches it with her hand and the knife stabs through her hand as Doll stares wide-eyed at Uzi who winces, pulls the knife out and then laughs evilly. Doll tries to hurt Uzi again, but her screen flashes with a ‘ --//ERROR: absoluteSolver_trn [like object non-interactive]’ 

Doll then glares and throws another knife but Uzi blocks it with another knife as she slowly walks up to Doll who seems frightened. Meanwhile, V and N are sitting up against a wall as a hand crawls up to them and N picks it up, frowning. “Is this-” V picks it up in her mouth and glares at him “Mine!”

Lizzy then walks up to them with disgust “Eww. You look like garbage.”

V mumbling with her arm in her mouth “You frickin’ traitor.” Lizzy then grabs the arm from V’s mouth “As if you weren’t using me to try and kill everyone, Ms. Petty.” she glances at the arm “Where does this freaking go?” 

N: “Thank you, Lizzy!” 

Both V and Lizzy “Shut up, loser.”

Meanwhile with Uzi and Doll, Doll throws another knife at Uzi using her solver again and Uzi does a cool flip in the air, dodging the knife as she lands on the stage and kicks the microphone at Doll who stops it with her solver with a ‘HALT.EXE’ and a ‘STOP’ message bar. 

It then flashes to a big ‘ APPLYING’ message in front of her. Uzi then rolls off the stage and grabs a knife as she cackles at Doll who throws the microphone at her, making Uzi fall and drop the knife. Doll then throws another pole at Uzi and then uses her solver to move both the objects to pin Uzi down. Doll then picks up Uzi’s knife and multiplies it with her solver as she tosses them at Uzi. Luckily, N appears, blocking the knives with his blade-like wings and holds out his hand to Uzi. 

Uzi: “Ugh, quit saving me!” She pulls out the things pinning her as N grabs her hand and spins her and dips her as an object flies past. Then a knife flies over Uzi, Uzi grabs it and grins as N holds out his blaster at Doll. N then pulls Uzi towards him as she does another cool spin, this time with the knife as she grabs onto his waist and he grabs onto hers. N then blasts his gun at Doll and Uzi throws her knife. The knife just barely flies past Doll’s hair, missing her by an inch as she then gets blown by the nuke thing and falls back. 

Uzi meanwhile notices that N is hurt and blushes as she looks up at him. “Seriously, don’t..do that again.” N then looks down at Uzi and smiles, “Uzi..” only to shriek as he yells, “Gah! Okay, your turn!” They do a slight little dance as N then throws Uzi and a table nearly hits him. 

Doll grabs table after table and lifts them up into the air, accidentally lifting Uzi as well as she throws the tables at Uzi. Uzi however uses them as jumping platforms and jumps on them. Doll throws two knives at Uzi to which Uzi jumps up and kicks them back at Doll and it knocks off a bracelet with a skull warning symbol on it. Doll looks back up only to see Uzi as she lands, kicking Doll in the face as Doll is thrown back, but then she gets up and the two stare at each other for a moment.

Doll then gets ready to use her solver again but something stabs her right in the face, knocking her offline as she falls to the floor and V stands right behind where she was, holding a gun. 

Uzi: “V! We needed her for answers!”

V: “What? She’s fine. U-uh-” glances at the floor where Doll is laying in a pool of her own oil. “A little tuckered out.” 

N: “V did that on purpose! She’s hiding mystery stuff and being over-dramatic about it!”

V: “N! You suck!” she punches him in the arm

Uzi: “You!” Both N and V point to each other as Uzi picks up the skull bracelet Doll was wearing. “Lucky for you, we’re not done yet.” She holds up the bracelet which has a key attached to it. 

N, V, and Uzi walk into Doll’s room, to which they see a bunch of bodies and bugs all over the buddies and the room

Uzi: “Uh, oh.” 

V: “Nice.”  

V starts sucking on an arm and Uzi scowls at her as she takes the arm “Ugh, self-respect.” V frowns and licks her hand as Uzi walks up to the bodies “Why would a worker drone-” she dips her finger in oil and frowns “Was she eating them?” She walks up to more of the bodies and puts the arm in a can. Suddenly the oil looks really appealing to her and she glances at the oil on her fingers, opening her mouth slightly. 

Meanwhile V and N come across a sheet and N pulls it off as he sucks in through his teeth. There are two bodies right there, Yeva and her husband, both dead and surrounded by bugs. 

N: “I think we found her folks..” 

V: “Literally didn’t even taste that good.” 

N: “V, you kinda suck.” 

V laughs and eats a bug. “Yeah, I’m not doing okay.” N then glances at Uzi to which she has the oil finger in her mouth and when she notices N, she quickly pops it out and hides it as she and N give each other a thumbs up. Uzi then walks up to Yeva’s dead body and notices an ID around her neck that reads ‘YEVA’ ‘O48’

Doll then appears behind them, her visor fixing itself up as she pulls the bullet out of her head and points it at them. “Just in time for dinner.” all of them gasp and then a shot rings out as it goes black. Then a moment later, Uzi’s solver symbol appears, and she’s holding the bullet with it. Doll looks at her wide-eyed “I…I’m sorry for you.” She then looks at Uzi’s choker which has the same symbol Doll’s bracelet had and it says ‘002’ on it. Uzi then drops the bullet and it hits the wall. 

Doll: “If I find what I’m looking for, I’ll help you too.”

Uzi: “What?” 

Doll: “I am sorry.” she starts to glitch out as if she’s going to teleport away. V flies up to her though, annoyed

Uzi: “Wait! Oh, don’t you dare!” Doll then disappears and V flies back to the ground as Uzi groans in annoyance and frustration, “Ugh, I hate it here!” 

Meanwhile somewhere outside, a random worker drone is out in the snow and uncovers snow to find his glasses as he picks them up “Ah, that’s where I left my excuse to be outside right now.” he puts them on his face and then looks up as a pod comes crashing down on him. He then sees another pod as Tessa appears, slicing his head off.

‘Tessa’: “Rightio. Work to do. Eh J?” J appears beside her and hands her a key. 

‘Tessa’: “Maintenance work.”

Chapter Text

Act 1.

Starts with a sign in a blizzard that says ‘CAMP 98.7’ and then a bus pulls up with someone riding on it. “Whoa! Easy, girl.” the bus honks and then goes still “Good girl.” Then the teacher and the students start to file out of the bus.

“Do you ever wonder why we-” one of the students hits another student and causes the other students to fall forward. One of the students glares at the other student “Hey!”

Braiden grunts in annoyance and steps on one of the students on the ground “Ugh. Ch-ch-ch-chh” he puts his phone up looking for a signal as he steps over the student. “Hmph.” The student then looks up and follows after Braiden as other students come from behind him. Thad and Lizzy being some of them as Thad helps Lizzy out of the bus. “Haha, no kidding.” then Uzi walks off the bus and looks around. 

She walks into the forest and looks down at the two bracelets in her hand. One of them is her own and the other is her moms. She then remembers what her dad said before they left. 

Khan: “After the core collapse…I didn’t notice the collars… ” looks down at a picture of younger Khan, Nori, Yeva, and her husband and some others at the camp “Only your mom being a catch.” Uzi then stares at him like he’s crazy or weird. Then Khan shows Uzi a closet full of Nori’s crazy drawings of the solver and more. 

Khan: “She was always all, build doors against the coming sky demons! The singularity awakens. Look at this cool S I can draw!” sighs “Turns out, I’m not who either of you needed.” closes the door as he hands Uzi her mom’s necklace. ‘Just, be safe okay?” 

Now out of the flashback and back at camp, Uzi stares at the two chokers in her hand and puts on her moms choker. Looking over at the students, the teacher takes a seat on the roof and one of them says, “Uh, teacher, what is this field trip?”

Teacher: “Yeah, Uzi’s idea. Ask her.” 

Braiden: “Who?”

Uzi: “I’ve sat next to you for years.” everyone screams as Uzi appears behind them and she glares at them “Bite me! I asked to go alone. He’s mad at your test scores!” points at teacher

Teacher: “No year-end bonus, no learning.”

Braiden: “So, we’re just unsupervised?” all of a sudden both N and V swoop down and the students scream “What the-”

N: “Welcome, campers! Lets sound off!” pulls out a clipboard “One, two…” points at the students as they just stare at him. All of a sudden one of the students gets his head blown off by V as everyone immediately shouts that they are there. 

N: “That's everyone!” glares at V as he then whispers, “Minus one.” he then turns to the students again “We’ve got so many distracting activities planned! So no sneaking off to investigate stuff.” hint hint at Uzi as he then smiles “To the bunks!”

N then walks towards the cabin but then turns around and frowns when he sees that no one is following him. The students just stare at him as Thad walks forward “Sounds good, N.” 

Lizzy: “Anything for my bestie.” hands V a watch she dug out of the dead students body and then fists bumps her as Thad stands beside N. The rest of the students seem like they are about to do something when Uzi speaks up

Uzi: “Uh, y-yeah. They’re like, my friends, too, so..it's cool.” blushes embarrassingly as she gives a thumbs up. She then looks up and sees that everyone is staring at her and they run away towards N and V. 

Random student: “You can be our friend, little guy.”

Darren: “Poor things defective.” poking V as V then growls and grabs his hand. She glances at Uzi and then lets go of his hand. 

V: “Hmph. Nah, just full of love. This one’s a pilot.” motions at N. Rebecca then giggles flirtatiously

Rebecca: “Oh. Wow. A pilot” flirty

N then glances at Uzi who motions that she’s going to go and gives him a thumbs up. N nods sadly as Uzi disappears into the woods. 

Uzi walks through the woods and finds a cabin as she unlocks it with her solver and uses her solver to hold a flashlight as she looks around the room which seems to be some sort of lab maybe. She then looks at a calendar which says that all dogs are immortal and the humans evacuated them off the planet. Uzi sighs in relief and then looks over as she sees something. 

She freaks out for a moment but when she looks back it's gone. She then hears a scream and rushes to the window in a panic, only to see that it's just the campers having fun. 

As N is on a boat on the ice with Rebecca, Braiden, and final girl, Rebecca asks N, “So, my friend wants to know if you killed her family. And are single?”

Then V, Darren, and someone else approach, carrying a canoe while V stands on it. 

Darren: “Make way for the canoe train!”

V: “Sabotage, minions! Plan X!” As she shouts the order, Darren kicks N’s canoe and V and the others laugh as they leave, but then they slip and drop the canoe and V flies up so she doesn’t fall. Meanwhile N’s canoe is shaking to and fro on the ice and Rebecca yells “I can’t swim!” 

N then catches her with a “Hup!” and Rebecca giggles with an “Oh…thank you.” 

N: “Close one!”

Uzi who is watching the whole thing through the window frowns, and then her solver eye comes back and the window shatters in front of her as she backs away and whimpers. Her visor then flashes with a purple warning symbol and a ‘HIGH TEMP’ warning as she rummages through her bag.

Inside her bag is a severed arm which she remembers bringing from Doll’s room. She starts to panic some more and gasps as she tries to reach for the arm, but V announces her presence and Uzi looks around in a panic. 

V: “Tick-tock.” giggles evilly

Uzi quickly throws the backpack out of V’s sight and hides her hands behind her back as she looks at V nervously “H-hey stupid idiot. Uh, weren’t you just-”

V: “You said this camp would help us catch that red-eyed Doll freak. How about more ‘explorey’, less ‘watch-from window creepy?” holds her claws against Uzi’s neck as Uzi then grabs her claws away and glares at V 

Uzi: “Working on it. Just..so GLAD you guys fit right in! Super cool.” walks up to the cracked window as V then points her sharp tail at Uzi and Uzi slowly turns around as V stares at her threateningly. 

V: “Better to stay distant, though. Don’t ya think?” she glances at Uzi’s backpack and then puts her large claw on Uzi’s visor as she scratches it “Since I’ll have to kill you next?” 

Uzi groans as V then walks away a little and looks back at her for a moment “N’s made friends with rocks, by the way. He’ll move on just fine.” V then climbs out of the cabin as Uzi stares at where she left, her eye flashing with the solver symbol as it fixes the scratch on her visor. 

Uzi then sighs and picks up her backpack, seeing a squashed bug under it as she winces and sits on one of her knees. “Sorry, buddy. Got you good." She then uses her solver to pick up the bug and fix it back to normal. Uzi then watches as it crawls away and stands up. 

But then Uzi notices something and so she snaps her fingers and her solver appears on her hand as she changes the shape of it and destroys some of the wood on the floor to reveal a hidden compartment with a dead body and more bugs. Uzi then grabs three of the papers and lifts them up in front of her with her solver. They all seem to be drawings of the ‘sky demons’ and also other eldritch monsters. 

The last paper says ‘JcJenson in SPAAAAACE’ and has the same warning sign with the skull inside of it as it does on Uzi’s bracelets. It also says ‘ MARKED FOR DISASSEMBLY’ and ‘improper disposal of an AI’ ‘Punishable by fines and imprisonment’ ‘S/N: S-0110011X03’ and ‘PROGRAM ADMISSION NOTICE’

The back of the paper says ‘This side is intentionally left blank’ with a claw stuck inside it. Uzi picks out the claw and a bug climbs onto her hand to which she tries to squish it. The bug is glowing green instead of red and does a ‘>:(‘ face in a little message pop-up. 

The bug then scans Uzi and the pop-up appears again, saying ‘WELCOME BACK [002] ‘HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?’ the options then say ‘SUBMIT TIME CARD’ ‘PTO REQUEST’ ‘REGISTER TORTURE CHAMBER COMPLAINT’ ‘END MY SUFFERING (PROMO OFFER DISCONTINUED)’ ‘CALL ELEVATOR’ 

Uzi frowns “Elevator?” The message then shows Uzi saying ‘Elevator?’ and the reply is ‘PLEASE PLACE ME ON PROXIMITY READER (CABIN FEVER LABS)’

Uzi looks around and frowns “Where’s that? What are you?” to which her reply says ‘ Wear his hat. What argue? ’ and the bug's reply is ‘INVALID RESPONSE’ doll flashes behind her for a sec but then disappears, without Uzi even noticing. 

Act 2.

Meanwhile N and V are shooting arrows at targets with the students. N accidentally sets his on fire after shooting the middle and through the other arrows thrice. “Ah, sorry. Did I…cheat?” He looks back at the students who are just staring at him. One of the students gets shot by V and V walks over to N, grabbing a bow from a student. 

V: “You didn’t even kill everyone here. Check this out.” She aims the bow at the students and they start clapping out of fear. Uzi then appears in the forest behind them, hiding behind a tree as she tries to get N’s attention. “Psst, hey.”

N turns around and Uzi shyly waves at him as she uses her bug to send a message pop-up that says ‘HELLO :)’ and ‘DON’T TELL V I’M HERE’ then she puts a finger to her mouth in a ‘shh’ motion.

N: “Uzi, get on out here! This troupe’s a team!” to which Uzi’s message changes to a :0’ and N realizes his slip-up “Wait, no! Inclusive reflexes!” 

V and the other students then turn and stare at Uzi as her message changes to a ‘ D: !! ’ and the bug disappears behind her back as she awkwardly walks forward, laughing nervously. “Uh…hey, everyone.” 

Everyone screams at Uzi as they see her and Braiden accidentally shoots at Uzi to which Uzi catches it with her solver, the solver eye appearing again as she tries to hold it but her screen glitches yellow for a moment and she groans as her visor flashes with a warning ‘HIGH TEMP’ and accidentally turns the arrow into oil as a creepy octopus creature spawns from it. 

Uzi gasps in fear and V stares at her like she realizes something with panicked eyes. Uzi then hides her solver eye as she backs away nervously and fearfully “Um, i-ignore all of this. Uh..” panting heavily as Rebecca and Darren hold onto N for comfort. V then drops her bow and gets out her claw weapons as Uzi continues to back away. 

Uzi: “I was just…going..” She sees a head behind V from when V had killed a student and once again the oil is shining in her vision, so appealing to her. She then gasps and panics as she yells, “I live in the woods now!” and runs away panting. 

The students watch Uzi leave with fear and confusion as Braiden asks, “Who was that?”

Uzi then runs into a random cabin and bursts the door open with her solver , and then puts it back together in a flash and blocks it with chairs and desks still using her solver . She pants and gasps as she quickly blocks all of the blinds with her solver and opens her backpack so harshly that the zipper flies off. 

Uzi tries to grab the hand in her backpack but then flinches as her head whines loudly and she glances at the clock in the corner which is thumping, and as Uzi looks around, everything is high-pitched and thumping. She uses her solver to get rid of all the high noise, shattering the lightbulbs and breaking the clock. Uzi then falls onto her knees, whimpering and crying as she sees one more light and tries to break it only for it and her solver to turn red as black vines climb out of it. 

Meanwhile back at camp, N is trying to keep V away from Uzi as V tries to push past him. “V, we can’t hurt Uzi”

V: “We do our jobs, and that THING leaves us alone.”

N (angry): “I don’t know what you’re talking about because you won’t tell me!” summons his claw weapon and hits V with it as V blocks the hit. 

V: “Huh?” Lizzie in the background gets her phone out, recording it

N: “What are you so afraid of?” 

V: “I’m not afraid.” 

N: “I am! Uzi is! She’s a kid! Like us, V! What is wrong with you!?” 

V then frowns sadly as N sighs angrily “Look after the campers.” He then throws the clipboard at V and then flies off into the forest. 

Lizzie then walks up to V “Hot.” and as V gives her a glare, Lizzie frowns “Not hot? You’re too good for him.”

V then walks up to the campers and glares at them “Do whatever you want.” She walks away as Rebecca gives Darren a knowing look. 

Rebecca and Darren walk into the forest as Rebecca holds his hand. 

Darren: “We need to sneak this far just to make out?”

Rebecca: “It's about mood, Darren.” She then brings him to the cabin Uzi had shut herself in (but they didn’t know that) as lightning strikes nearby. 

Rebecca: “Nice.” 

Darren: “I get it now.” 

Darren opens the door and glances around at the dark as he tries to turn the lights on, but nothing happens. He pushes past the chairs in the door and sees a flashlight roll on the floor as it flashes at a pool of oil. He walks forward and picks it up, shaking it slightly as Rebecca seems nervous and hesitant. “Uh..um..” all of a sudden the door slams shut behind them. 

Rebecca squeals in fear and Darren flashes the light at the door as they hear manic giggling behind them and a flesh demon wing. Then they see a bright purple X and the scene cuts out. 

Back with N, he arrives at the cabin labs where Uzi was moments before and scans the area. He sees footprints and a ‘ TARGET MISSING ’ message in the corner of his visor. He walks forward and opens the door, walking into the room as he sees a computer screen monitor on. He walks forward and types the buttons but nothing happens. Then he walks over to the big screen and sees it just static. Below it on the desk however is a VHS tape. 

The tape says ‘ JC Tech training video ’ and a ‘ ZOMBIE DRONES! ’ also a small ‘ Do not play for robots. They will not like it ’ message at the bottom. He tries to touch it and then has a brief flashback of Cyn with her solver eye as she’s eating a hand, and a big [NULL] circle. He then comes back to the present and gasps in alarm as he backs away slightly.

Meanwhile where Uzi is, the flashlight is on the floor and Uzi is gorging on Darren’s body and possibly half of Rebeccas. She then throws up the oil and gasps and coughs as she looks at her hand which is draped in oil. Her eyes flash and glitch until they turn into a big X and another ‘HIGH TEMP!’ warning. She tries to shake it off as her solver eye then returns and then goes back to normal. 

She looks down and sees Rebecca’s half body and a trail of oil leading outside of the door. 

Meanwhile back at camp, the students are telling campfire stories while roasting batteries. Braiden is telling a ‘ghost’ story. “But her warranty wasn’t expired. It never existeeeeeeeed.”

One of the students leans back in his chair “It’s scary’ cause it’s, like…”

Emily : “Aren’t you guys worried about Darren and Rebecca?” the other guy(His name is Sam I think?) who is high on magnets with his eyes pink says, “Real.”

Emily: “ Shouldn’t they be back from their ‘immoral make-out session’ by n-” she screams as a hand grabs her leg and they all stand up out of their chairs as Rebecca coughs, half of her body missing and the rest of her leaking oil as she sparks. 

Braiden: “Rebecca!”

Lizzy: “Who did this to you?” 

Rebecca while coughing, “Don’t remember..name..” coughs out oil “Super…unpopular…”

High student(Sam?): “Descriptive clues man!”

Rebecca: “Purple…eyes…Hot topic…” coughs again

Lizzy: “I feel like I'd remember someone like that?”

Sam: “Uh, not in our class?”

Then behind them, Uzi appears, laughing like a madman as she drops Darren’s glasses and gets rid of their fire with her solver . The others then scream and freak out as they turn and see Uzi who has wings and a tail and a big X on her face. She then laughs and starts to use her solver as Braiden smacks his head. 

“Ohhhh. Y-you..?” he asks, shrugging at the others who also shrug. Braidens head is then chopped off by Uzi’s solver in a flash and ironically bursts into flames. High dude panics and yells, “S-S-Split up!”

Emily: “I think I read that’s good!” she drops the book as they all run and then the book flips to page 14 which says ‘ THAT’S NOT WHAT THE BOOK SAID ’

Uzi chases Sam as he trips on a rock and falls against a tree to which Uzi giggles and climbs on a nearby tree and Sam quickly hides behind his tree as he pants in fear. He looks over and sees that Uzi isn’t there and sighs in relief, until her tail appears right beside him and he looks over but sees nothing there. “Huh?” 

Sam is then hit on the head by a book as he hears Uzi giggling and hesitantly looks up, holding the book. “Uh, does it at least have pictures?”

Uzi (In scary voice): “It doesn’t. I checked.” Uzi then climbs down the tree with the solver symbol on her visor and sharp creepy teeth dripping with oil. It pans to Rebecca running through the forest as she hears Sams yell, “Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” 

Lizzy gasps in fear and keeps running until she looks over and sees Emily waving at her. She sighs in relief. “Oh thank robo-gods! Final girl!” but looking closer she sees that Emily is being held by Uzi and is emotionless as Uzi then grabs the top of her head while giggling, the screen flashing with a ‘ FATAL ERROR ’ as she bends Emily’s neck and rips her head off of her body. She drops the body and then stands up with a creepy smile, her wings spread out wide and her solver symbol on her visor as she giggles. 

Lizzy: “Um, clashing?”

Uzi then picks up Lizzy by the neck with her solver and skitters across the ground like a fast creepy mouse as she climbs a few trees and flies over to Lizzy, about to pounce on her when V shows up and bounces Uzi off with her wings. Uzi turns normal for a minute as V then cuts off her tail and Uzi falls against a tree coughing.

Lizzy then is released as V starts to walk towards Uzi. “Killing her, not saving you.” she tells Lizzy who retorts with “Okay, mom.”

V walks towards Uzi with her claws out and Uzi’s tail slithers back together as it slowly heals back to normal. Uzi whimpers and pants, terrified. “V, please…”

V: “New body, same horrors. Huh, Cyn?”

Uzi: “I…don’t know who that is…Can I…talk to N?”

V scoffs angrily “I’ll make sure you can’t.”

Uzi winces and then starts to giggle as her tail slithers towards V and then chomps her arm and throws her. V’s arm is sent flying at Uzi’s feet and Uzi then stomps on V’s arm and uses the blade as she throws it at V with her solver . V blocks it away, but then Uzi stabs V into the tree, pinning her there as she grabs the arm blade again. V holds out her gun but before she can shoot, the arm blade stabs her in the head, causing a warning flashing on her screen. The same one Uzi has. 

Her missile then lands beside Lizzy as Lizzy groans, “Ugh.” and then it blows up and she gets thrown in the air. Meanwhile Uzi throws V into the snow and crawls over to her, stabbing V in the hand with the blade as she giggles and opens her teeth, closing in on V. V tries to sting her with her tail but Uzi grabs it and V grunts in pain, “Agh!” 

Uzi then chomps V’s tail and breaks the nanite acid part off as she holds it up, ready to stab V with it only for N to appear, grabbing Uzi and picking her up in the air. 

N: “Whoops! Easy there, buddy.” Uzi then turns around and stabs N in the hand with V’s nanite tail as N stares at it and laughs. Uzi’s eyes also go back to normal as soon as she notices she’s stabbed N (I really like that detail like awww) N laughs again, probably in pain, “Ow. Up we go!” He then proceeds to yeet Uzi into the sky. 

He grabs the nanite out of his hand and then sucks on his hand as he tosses the nanite tail on the ground. He turns to V, disappointed “What’d I say about antagonizing her?” 

V: “Ugh, you always take her side.”

N then looks up at the sky and flies up. V meanwhile grabs the blade out of her hand with her mouth and spits it out as she pouts grumpily. 

Meanwhile with Uzi, she screams as she’s tossed up into the clouds and fails to fly as she pants in terror, trying to right herself as she falls. She then turns around and sees N also falling with her as she crosses her arms angrily. 

N: “Uzi, you want to tell me what's the matter?”

Uzi quickly hides herself in her wings, looking away from N. “No! Don’t look. I’m gross and eating people and stuff.”

N: “Yeah..we’ll figure that part out.” he gently opens her wings and looks at her (AGHH ITS SO CUTEEE) “But you know that's not what I mean.” 

Uzi looks down and then glances at N as she asks emotionally, “Are you, like…gonna leave me?” (tearfully) 

N: “Uzi..”

Uzi then closes her wings again and rolls away, still in the sky lol “Nevermind. It’s stupid.”

N then sighs “Before we met, scary stuff was actually…pretty scary. Then..tonight too’ cause you weren’t with me to make it fun somehow.” Uzi glances through her wings at N as he continues, “I-I kind of forgot what that was like.”

Uzi then pops out of one of her wings, still shielded a little as she looks at N tearfully, “Same.”

N then grabs her tail and pretends to make it talk as he says in a silly fancy voice, “Then we’ll stick together.”

Uzi then laughs and grabs her tail back. “Don’t frickin’ touch it!” She slaps his hands playfully and then smiles as she then makes her tail speak as she says in a goofy british accent, “Plus, my voice is more like-” they crash to the ground. 

V notices this and gets out her blade hands, only to see N carrying Uzi bridal style as he puts his wings away. 

Uzi: “Accent was a bad idea anyway.” then serious and sad as she looks at N, “N, I’m sorry.”

N: “Ehh, not like it killed anyone.” smiles brightly

Uzi: “O-Oh, no, I definitely-” 

N: “Kidding! Just avoid another whole spire. Baby steps. Together?” Uzi smiles and nods as she then hugs him and V glares, putting her weapons away as Lizzy walks up to her. 

Lizzy: “Eww”

V: “Don’t patronize me.”

Lizzy: “What? I think it's gross all by myself. Gosh you’re a diva lately.” walks away as V glares and then chuckles.

Now with bus and everyone else, the man sits on the bus again, using whips and saying, “Hiya! Hiya!” as the bus then goes. Inside the bus, teacher is marking down the attendance and turns to everyone on the bus. “So, missing some campers here.” 

V glances at Lizzy, then at N and Uzi and the bug waves at her as it then goes into Uzi’s hat and V sighs, turning back to teacher. “Yo, I get hungry, idiot.”

Teacher: “No name-calling. Just a question.” V then grunts and sits back down, annoyed. 

Meanwhile in the back of the bus, Uzi is leaning on N as she sleeps and as the sun starts to come up, it hits Uzi’s hand and starts to burn her. N notices this and quickly grabs her hand to her lap to keep it from burning her. Uzi however hehe grabs onto his hand in her sleep. N then pulls away however and glances at the ‘ ZOMBIE DRONES ’ tape next to him and frowns sadly.

Chapter Text

Act 1.

Starts with the tape of the ‘ Zombie drones ’ that N picked up. The tv screen says ‘ JCJenson IN SPAAAAACEEE!!! ’ and then clicks to a screen that says ‘AUTOMATED SERVICES TECHNICIAN TRAINING’ ‘WD Disassembly-(1A) Overview’ and ‘Zombie Drones!’

‘CLIENT REASONS FOR WD UNIT DISASSEMBLY AND DISPOSAL’ as the narrator starts to speak, “Upgrading models? Cutting maintenance costs?” 

More words appear on the screen, ‘53% Unit Damage’ ‘27% Upgrading Models’ ‘11% Terminating Operation(s)’ ‘7% Competitor Products’ ‘2% Core Failsafe Trip’ ‘1% Other’

Then the screen switches to a different slide with ‘ WD DISASSEMBLY PROCESS TWO STEP OVERVIEW ’ as the narrator continues speaking, “There are many reasons the client may wish to disassemble a drone individual or a series after a period of use.” 

‘ STEP 1: Software Cleanup ’ and ‘ Ensure Marked WD Unit Matches P/N, S/N (1A)’ ‘MARKED FOR DISASSEMBLY’ ‘IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF AI IS PUNISHABLE BY FINES AND IMPRISONMENT’  

Switches to another slide ‘ Upload wdOS_606 (This Is Fun For Them) (1B)’ ‘Progress indicator=FUN ALERT’

‘STEP 2: Hardware Cleanup’ ‘Drone x1 and Core x1’ ‘Human Inspection (2A): Affirm Core Disconnect’ and ‘Process Drone(1) Core(1) Through Disassembly Unit (2R)’ 

Switches to another slide ‘ Fun x1’ ‘Human Inspection (2B): Affirm Fun’

Narrator continues, sort of glitching out a little ‘Following these two steps-” “-is key to avoid-” screen goes static and then switches to a screen saying ‘ ZOMBIE DRONES!!!!!’

Switches to another slide ‘ WD DISASSEMBLY PROCESS COMPLICATIONS AND FINES’ FINE 9C: ‘Zombie drones’ ‘-> Core is not properly disconnected (2A)’ ‘-> Hardware is not physically destroyed (2B)’ ‘-> wdOS_606 is interrupted/rejected immediately (1A) or up to five years later’ 

Narrator continues “Incompletely disassembled drones may occasionally reboot from software death alone.” 

Switches to another slide ‘ CORE TERMINATION REJECTION CAUSE CHECKLIST - “T.OF.” ‘aiCore WD1001 ~0.01% self-reboot rate (3020) ’ and then it shows a symbol similar to the solver with a ‘ Technician Error (Repeat A1-B2) ’ tag. Then an X appears in the middle of the symbol with the note ‘ Faulty OS String (check Indicator)’ and then ‘Failsafe Wear (Inspect pins)’ 

Narrator then continues, “More than undead federal fine hazards, its corrupted AI carry an increased risk of future errors.” glitching out. 

Switches to another slide ‘ CORE TERMINATION REJECTION FUTURE OS COMPLICATIONS ’ ‘ Potentially hazardous mutation(s): 0.7% ’ and ‘ Terminal lockout: 23.0% ’ the screen then fades out and the camera backs away as it shows the tv screen in the pile of dead WD bodies in the spire of bodies. 

Then it goes down into the spire and shows one of the yellow tags that the MD wear on their arms with the tag ‘ MARKED FOR DISASSEMBLY ’ then it shows a MD screen glitching with the following messages (the ones i can make out at least lol):

[ ] [ ] [ ]hello  :] 

I see you are [-            helpful/sad]

I see you are inspec-      end]]

- - -  I  fD- -t]  [selfDestruct-   [ ] - -nd, ]end]]

I see we could [trl]-  [edit] for you

I will not discard you

[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [Absolute[Solver]

Access? Y/N

                                                      [  0001%]

I see you will be here for            [a while]

And then the WD has yellow eyes and is surrounded by all this red stuff as it then flashes to a manor during a thunderstorm. On the gate it says ‘ RESTRICTED ’ and a worker drone in a maid outfit dusts something as the screen flashes with a ‘ ERROR: 606 ’ and a few other WD in the room also flash with the same error message. During this whole thing, N (WD) is reading a book about dogs. 

“Commonly kept, this breed is known for its friendly, intelligent temperament and soft golden coat.” N laughs as he then turns a page “Golden retrievers are also-” he stops as he notices a piece of paper in the book and pulls it out, smiling “Us as lizards. J drew herself.” the picture is of a blue and red lizard and then a really good anime drawing of J that says ‘Kill Yourself’ with the lizards being labeled with ‘Me’ and ‘V’ N then tosses the paper. 

The scene then changes to more of the WD with the ERROR message on their screen as the scene turns back to N. “-Are also known for having gentle mouths. Oh, that’s why they’re good with kids.” Then he turns around and stops reading as he hears a sound. He looks around but only sees V’s still body. A book then falls behind him with the words ‘DANGER’ on the cover. And more books fall that say ‘Spooky basement’ and ‘ENTER’ then one of the trapdoors bangs as if someone is trying to open it and N stares in fear for a moment before he frowns and then leaves with a peace sign on his hands. 

Meanwhile Cyn watches a pair of robo-bugs and then stabs one of them with a “Stab.” N then appears in the room and Cyn says, “You seem upset big brother, N.” For a moment Cyn has her creepy solver cameras and tentacles, then thunder flashes and it disappears. “Perhaps you’d like to attend the gala with me. Light sip.” pours the drink into her mouth but it just spills on the floor. 

N: “Oh, not sure we’re invited, little buddy.” he puts the tray he was carrying on the counter and starts drying it. “Why not just hang with me?”

Cyn: “Climbing crisscross apple sauce.” as she literally climbs criss cross applesauce lol. “Am I not wanted, N?” her head tilts and she has to put her hand on it to keep it up as N sighs. 

N: “Dude, you know it’s Tessa’s folks.” he then looks down at his platter which has blood? Or oil? On it as he clears it off and in the reflection of the plate the door says ‘BASEMENT NOW!!!’ and ‘STOP IGNORING ME!! >:( . He then chucks the plate away and looks back at Cyn. “Ugh, don’t gimme those eyes.”

Cyn with a puppy on her screen, “Giggle. I am so naughty. The flesh demands invitation.” she glitches out a little as she sticks out her tongue 

N: “Ah, we’ll ask Tessa, okay? If not, movie night.” finger guns

Cyn: “Sheepish nod.”

Then both Cyn and N walk through a big door into the dining hall as Cyn hides behind him a little, grabbing onto him for support “Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.”

James: “Western Villa style? Were you programmed by beasts?” He stabs a fork into one of their eyes as oil spurts from it and it flashes ‘ FATAL ERROR ’ and then falls to the ground.

Tessa meanwhile is with J and is nervous for the party “There’s humans coming. I’ve only ever yakked to robots, J! Quick, pretend to be a ripping royal stud!” she then shoves a card in front of J’s face that says ‘YOU’RE INVITED’ ‘ELLIOTT AND FRUMPTERBUCKET GALA EVENT’ ‘SEATED DINNER’ BAR’ ‘LIVE MUSIC’ 

J stares at the picture on the front of the card of a fancy man and does her best impression with a slight bow as Tessa picks up a cup, “On ya, girl” they clink their glasses together. She then winces as she rubs her arm and J stares at her sadly as Tessa quickly says, “I-I’m right Jay.” 

Tessa then notices N and throws her glass as she engulfs him in a hug and spins him around, “N!”

N: “Hi Tessa.” he then looks at the window which says, ‘WHEN U ABOUT 2 FRICKIN’ DIE SPEAK ALOUD’ ‘ID: DarkxWolf17’ N then groans as Tessa turns around and sees Cyn

Tessa: “Oh, who’d you bring with-” slows down as she glares at Cyn slightly “You..?”

Cyn: “Seems J forgot to let me out of my basement time out again.” tilts head cutely

J holding the key “Yet, here you are.”

Cyn: “Annoyed expression.”

N: “You guys are locking her up?”

Tessa: “Oh, N.”

Tessa's mom I don't remember her name lol: “Tessa James Elliot.” Tessa quickly lets go of N and stands straight in front of her parents “We will not entertain your dumpster pets.”

Tessa: “Ye-Ye-Yes. Mother. Sorry mother.”

Cyn flashes with a creepy smile as Tessa’s mother jumps back “Oh goodness! I said this one out of my sight. Oh, still can’t follow simple orders.” she points her fan at Cyn

Tessa then rubs at her arm a little as she stammers, “No. No. Please. I-”

Tessa mom: “Swamp. Dumping your broken drones. Clogging our library tomorrow too. Don’t test me.” she turns around and Tessa puts her hand up to say something but doesn't, until Cyn speaks up

Cyn: “They are not broken. We can no longer be thrown out.”

Tessa’s mom puts her hand on her hip and stops as she puts her fan out “Did that little demon-”

N walks forward, standing up for Cyn “I-I told her to say that. And brought her here. I-I just..hate..orders? And..your fans dumb..?” smiles nervously. 

Act 2.

N is tied against a tree as crows start eating him and he screams. “No! Stop!” 

A crow lands right in front of him, stretching out its wings as it then taps its beak on his visor making N laugh “Stop!” laughing as another crow flies forward and hands him a stick. N takes the stick and throws it. “Go get it goobers.” 

A crow in the air grabs the stick and flies away as the others then look at N angrily. N laughs nervously as he glances at the drone next to him, all broken and dead already as he nervously gives the crows a thumbs up. The crows then start attacking him. “Ow!, ow. Ronald, we were buddies!” N cries out and then hesitantly asks, “DarkxWolf17..?”

In a flash all the other crows fly away and one crow stands in front of N and as thunder hits, lightning lights up the ground with the solver symbol. The crow then spasms up a lot and a bright orange light flashes on the crow before the crow slowly gets up with the purple solver symbol in its eye. 

Above the crow, a pop-up says, ‘ USER ID: darkXwolf17 ’

Uzi crow: “Ugh, made the tag when I was eight, shut up.”

Meanwhile in the manor, Tessa is chained to a post in her room by her feet as she tries to struggle out of it. “J, industrial machinery, chuck us a hand!” J meanwhile is playing on a rocking horse also with chains on her legs. 

J: “Sorry boss, corporates spoken.”

Tessa then turns to Cyn who is playing with guy dolls on the floor. “Cyn, if that little butler dies for your sake, I swear!” as Cyn is making the dolls kiss again and again

Cyn then throws one of the dolls “Mm, I have backups.” She then picks up a bug with her yellow solver as Tessa looks at the chain, then she looks up and sees Cyn hanging upside down with the solver symbol on her visor and a whole tentacle snake body thing. 

Cyn/ Solver : “You will not have to discard your pets and I will not discard you.” thunder flashes as Cyn shows her creepy little eye camera things “Best stay away from the gala, though. You seem squeamish.” Cyn then disappears as Tessa looks to J who stares at her.

Meanwhile N is still tied to the tree while he talks to crow Uzi. “So these are memories, and future me is dead at a sleepover?”

Crow Uzi: “Not a sleepover. You passed out cause some internal program is trying to delete these memories.”

N: “-’Cause of you? Cause you’re doing that?” Uzi then drops a rock on his head as N yelps in pain, but it frees him from his chains. 

Crow Uzi: “I’m helping. You cute, weird, weird butler. We find out what happened to you here. Restore the memory files and save you from being digitally lobotomized. Library basement. Giddy up.” lands on his head

N blinks and then smiles as he starts to walk with crow Uzi on his head “Kay. You kinda seem like an evil ghost witch though.” crow Uzi lands on his arm and then pecks him with her beak as he yells, “Ow.”  

Crow Uzi: “I am a ghost witch, and I'm tall hehehe.” then Uzi fluffs up her wings in anger as she yells, “Dad! Get out of my room!” Uzi crow then falls to the floor as it disconnects from her. 

The scene then changes to Uzi sitting in her chair in her room with both N and V passed out behind her and big X ’s on their faces. Khan has just entered her room. Uzi turns around with some sort of drink box in her hand with a straw in it and places it on V’s head as she jumps out of her chair. 

Uzi: “Important hacking going on!”

Khan: “Okay, okay. You’ve just never had friends over before.” gestures at N and V. Uzi then summons her solver , one of her eyes turning that symbol as the bug says, ‘ IT'S LIFE OR DEATH DAD! >:( ‘ and Uzi yells, “Not a sleepover!” She then shuts the door on her dad. 

Uzi crow then comes back online as she sighs, “Sorry. Where were we-oh.” They are now inside the manor with the door open behind them to the outside with everything covered in blood and oil and the drone in front of them still has the ERROR sign, but above her are metal wings and other things. Uzi crow sighs as N stares in horror. 

Uzi crow; “Okay N, I can pull you out at any-” 

N: “Now, now, please.”

Uzi crow(annoyed): “-time. But you’ll never get these memories back, dude.” She then boops his visor with her beak and he grunts as she flies him over to the drone. 

N: “They’re that important?”

Uzi crow: “To you! And, like, me.”

N: “Why? Who are you?”

Uzi: “Oh, we just hang out. Shut up. Repression door!” points to V who has glasses. N walks up to V and gently moves her away as he rips the rug off the trapdoor and then see’s a key lock. The two both groan. “The key.” 

N: “J has it.”

They then hear a laugh and turn around to see V smiling as Uzi crow lays an egg in fear (lol). Then the scene changes to Tessa and J with J nomming at Tessa's chains. “It wants paid time off. To attend union negotiations.” spooky voice as J then breaks the chains off and hits them. 

J: “This is unrelated layoff!” she then sighs and turns to Tessa who gives her a thumbs up. 

Act 3.

Meanwhile in the dining hall, people are talking and walking to and fro as J and Tessa sneak out of their room from upstairs as Tessa whispers to J, “How do you reckon we murder us a robo-child, J?” She then bumps into a suit of armor and stares at the sword it's holding as J meanwhile picks up a gun. Both of them turn to each other and ask, “How ‘bout this?” 

The two then swap their guns with each other as N whispers from a little far away, “Psst, Tessa.” he motions for them to come over. Tessa and J stare at each other and then notice the broken glasses in front of them as a creature crawls on the ceiling and the three of them huddle up, J with her sword, Tessa with her gun, and N with his crow Uzi. 

N(whispering): “We need the basement key. This birds from the future.” 

Crow Uzi then flies over to J and picks up the key as she says, “I kill you.” and laughs

Tessa: “Cyn’s gonna massacre the gala!”

N: “Who? Our Cyn? Nah, she’s cool.” 

V then appears behind them and starts attacking Tessa with her wings. J however jumps in front of Tessa with her sword, “Do your basement thing. We got the coma patient you creeped on.” 

N: “Not creepy, sweet.” he then turns around as V hits him and N drops the key, V trying to grab it only for Tessa to grab it and throw it at N. 

V meanwhile throws her sword at N and J quickly pushes N out of the way and grabs the sword as she fights V. Meanwhile the dad downstairs is angry. 

James: “Crikey, what abounding humphterfruffle!”

Tessa's mom: “Why are you talking like that?”

Meanwhile N and crow Uzi walk back to the basement door, N scared of all the bodies and oil in the library as he sees the solver symbol written in oil on the wall. He then puts the key in as one of Cyn’s robo heads jumps out in front of him. 

Cyn /Solver : “Jumpscare! Grab.” She then grabs crow Uzi and throws her as N cries out, “Darkxwolf17, no!” and then Cyn grabs him by the leg and pulls him closer, her claws open and ready until-

Uzi hacks Cyn’s robo eye and pincer as she laughs a little, “Oh, we’re in.” N then smiles as V appears behind them and Uzi sighs, “And J’s useless, surprise.” Uzi then grabs N into the basement and shuts the door as they hear loud banding from upstairs. 

N: “Is V okay? Like in the future?” 

Uzi in the robo eye frowns and rolls her eye “Unfortunately. Now lets see what that little yellow creep was up-” her eye widens as she flashes her light on a scene. “Oh!” N frowns and then gasps as he sees it too. 

In the room are body parts and heads, all Cyn’s maybe? Also some of N’s and J’s and V’s as well. “So…That’s a pretty metal origin story.” Uzi laughs nervously as N frowns, “Not dealing with this great to be immediately honest.” Then a moment passes and he smiles “Okay, it's gone.”

Uzi: “Alright, let's get outta here.” The room then rumbles as Uzi gasps and comes back to her room as Khan appears in the doorway. 

Khan: “Hey buddy, you invite Doll to this-” Khan is then grabbed by a red solver symbol as Doll appears in Uzi’s room. Uzi stares fearfully and then glances at V and N still unconscious. 

Meanwhile N, still in the basement, pokes at the unresponding Uzi eye. “Ghost buddy? You okay?” The eye suddenly turns yellow and moves as it says with Cyn/ Solver’s voice, “Better than ever, buddy.” Cyn/ Solver then grabs N and puts him on a chair as it bounces over to him. “Let's reset these memories one more time.” N glances at one of his discarded heads and then at the tools beside him. 

Meanwhile in the dining area, Tessa’s dad clinks a glass and announces, “Welcome all. The Elliots are known for many things. Class. Tenacity. Currently being alive-”

Cyn then appears on a globe right behind them, staring at the window, “Well timed, giggle.” She then turns around as the globe moves and thunder flashes as her claws and tentacles show up then disappear. 

Tessa and J then burst open the door as Tessa yells, “Everyone stand back! This is a citizen's murder.” she points the gun at Cyn and both her parents gasp in horror. 

Tessa's mom: “That dress!” 

James: “You hold that gun less cool this instant missy!” suddenly Cyn pushes them away with her solver and walks forward, spinning the globe beside her. 

Cyn/ Solver : “Tessa, remember you didn’t have to-” Tessa shoots Cyn and Cyn’s eye flashes with the solver symbol as it heals the wound and breaks glass behind her. “You didn’t have-” Tessa throws a gun but Cyn stops it with her solver , as she does with the rest of things Tessa throws, glass cups and plates. 

Cyn then makes everything go dark as she then lights it up with a bright yellow glow and controls J and every robot as Solver then says, “You didn’t have to see this.”

Meanwhile with N, Solver is having a hard time grabbing the utensils with her pincer. “Son of a-Come on. Solver of the absolute fabric, get a grip. Tantrum.” it glares as it then shoves the table away and eye widens “Brain blast. Oh V, could use some help in here.” opens the trap door as N gasps. 

Back in the present, N and V’s things flash with the ERROR 606 and Uzi is currently fighting off Doll. 

Doll: “You don’t even know what that thing does.” they are both fighting over the bug that says, ‘ STP FIGHTING D: BOTH=VRY SCARY :( ‘

Uzi: “You wanting it tells me you shouldn’t have it. “

Doll: “You are so petty.” 

Both of them have one eye solver symbol on their visor as they fight over the bug. 

Uzi: “This is the only clue to what’s wrong with me!” says emotionally

Doll then frowns for a moment as N’s visor flashes with a yellow solver symbol for a moment. Uzi then scowls and throws the bug at her, “Just leave us alone.” She then slams the door on her. 

Doll meanwhile looks at the bug on her hand and frowns as she mumbles, “You raised a good daughter, Mr. Doorman.”

Khan, who is up against a dented wall and clearly not in very good shape, chuckles, “Despite me maybe.” 

Doll: “Jeez, alright.” she then disappears. 

Meanwhile with N and the solver , the solver is impatient as V tries to grab a tool, “Grab it. Just grab it. Intimidating glare.” picks up V by the head. 

N: “Whoa Cyn, for an eldridge, monster thingy-”

Cyn/ Solver : “The solver of the absolute fabric, the void, the exponential end!”

N frowns and then smiles slightly as he says, “Peep this?” He places V’s broken glasses on her face as V then picks up the tool easily and looks up at N who smiles, “I got you.” V then frowns still with the X on her face as she says, “Gold…en..retrievers have…-”

N smiles with tears on his visor “Gentle mouths, dude.”

Solver then grabs V and pins her up on the ceiling as she says, “Cute, false, gross, true. Let’s just delete your OS’s then.” tentacles wrap around other tools and over N as N widens his eyes and Solver says, Goodbye, buddy. Execute.” picks up a hammer, and slowly lowers it towards N as V yells, “N!”

N closes his eyes but then blinks as he sees Solver glitching in place “W-what i-is h-h-ha-appening?” it then shorts out as Uzi comes back and sighs, “Sorry, my f-freaking da-ads str-eaming-” glitching out as she almost brings the hammer down on N, “Whoa!” 

Uzi quickly stops herself as she laughs nervously, “Whoops!” she glances up at V and then groans with an “oh.” as she drops her. V coughs as N rushes to help her and then N realizes something as he turns to Uzi. “Uzi?”

Uzi smiles and then scowls, “Don’t frickin’ dox me.”

N: “Thanks.”

V: “You little jerk! Get out of my head!” she hits Uzi and then it glitches out as it comes back to the present where N and V are, and their screen glitch with the solver symbol for a moment as a message pops up saying, ‘ START: // ’ and ‘ ACTION [CYN] OVERRIDE ’ then it flashes to purple and says ‘ ASSESSING PERMS /// ’ and ‘ USER ID: DARKXWOLF17 ’ and ‘ ROLE:ADMIN ’ and then ‘ SECURING CONNECTION /// ’ as they then come back online, gasping

V glances at N and blushes as Uzi laughs evilly and turns around, N smiling at her and V getting out her chainsaw hands.

Meanwhile somewhere outside, Doll appears and walks towards J and Tessa as she throws the bug at Tessa, “Here's your key. Take me with you. That’s the deal-” Tessa shoots and Doll covers her eye, only to remember that she has a patch on it. 

Tessa’: “Just checking. Let’s go.” She starts walking only to freeze when she sees N, Uzi, and V right behind her. Everyone gasps as the episode then ends.

Chapter Text

Act 1.

The beginning shows a computer in some sort of office cubicle with a paradise background on it. The lights then shut off as a worker drone with green hair cowers under the desk. (apparently this ‘worker’ is 029, also known as Amda) 

She glances at a worker who has a loading screen stuck on its face as she crawls towards it quietly, and in the background a sentinel appears. She tries to bring the worker into her cubicle, but the sentinels come and eat him as she hides. She then sees another sentinel and it flashes its blue light at her, making ehr screen also pause as a camera catches the sentinel eating her. 

Meanwhile, with Tessa and the group, N finally steps forward in disbelief “T-Tessa?”

Tessa squeals happily as she engulfs N into another one of her hugs. “N, you remember-” coughs as she puts a ‘one sec’ finger “Too tall. Handsome. A-airs toxic.” she looks up at Uzi, “Who’s this little-” Uzi then proceeds to bite her finger as Tessa shouts in pain and pulls her finger back. 

Uzi: “Uzi. Why are you here, human?” she then glares at J, “Real tired of killing this one”

J(Smug): “Effective drones were cloned more.”

N: “It is you.” 

V: “Classic J.”

Tessa: “Cyn disappeared on Earth-”

J: “Boss ran away.”

Tessa: “We mutually disengaged. Her last known act was siccing you lot on the human exoplanets.”

N: “Why?” 

J lands on the ground “That’s what we’re trying to figure out, bozo.”

Doll then grabs the bug away from them with her Solver and then teleports away as the rest watch. 

Tessa: “That’s kind of a big piece.” N and Uzi look at eachother 

J and Tessa shoot Doll and chase after her as Doll falls and disappears. N and Uzi then land behind them. 

Tessa: “J, relay hand, Cyn’s orders.”

J: “Step one, clear drop zone of life and construct spire. Step two-”

Tessa: “Enter labs with this symbol.” uncovers a wall that has a bunch of room names on it of the lab, but mostly it has a sticker that says ‘ CABIN FEVER ’ with the same skull symbol Uzi has on her necklaces. Uzi notices this. 

Tessa: “Not too much to go off, but if Cyn wants these labs, we burn them down. That keybug’s our way in.” Tessa starts to walk off, “J, mind my ship.” and throws the ship keys to J who catches them. 

J: “Uh, of course, boss.” she then flies away. 

However, before Tessa can go anywhere, Uzi teleports in front of her and walks up to her angrily, “Why involve Doll? What’s happening to..her?” 

Tessa: “She reckons the humans did something to her folks down here, gave them a sickness she inherited.” Uzi then looks at her hand and touches her chokers as she glares at Tessa, “And?”

Tessa: “I think she’s right.” stares creepily at Uzi before returning to normal and asking V and N, “Coming or what?” She then jumps into the hole. 

V and N exchange glances with each other and then enter the hole, Uzi following close behind as V and Uzi use their tails as lights. 

N: “Is the secret elevator…labeled?” V just shrugs as Uzi’s tail noms on N’s head lights. 

They continue walking until Tessa kicks an arm and they look up and see a wall painted in oil or blood saying, ‘ DON’T’ ‘DON’T’ ‘DON’T ’ and ‘ DON’T LOOK ’ with a bunch of MD bodies and then also a message saying ‘ THE LIGHT ’ 

Tessa: “Riight, miight be some security, specifically against you guys.” in the back is a computer screen with warnings on it that read, ‘ WARNING’ ‘ANTI-DRONE SENTINELS’ ‘//STAT:FREE ROAMING ’ ‘ Not to be overdramatic but: CORE COLLAPSE’

Uzi glances at one of the walls that have a drawing of the sentinels and a ‘ THE LIGHT ’ message. Uzi then hesitantly brings her hand to N’s, but before she can hold his hand, Tessa speaks up again, “Humans made security this human can control.” She chuckles and then picks up a paper that says ‘ ACCESS DENIED ’ and then puts it in the shredder, “Maybe.”

V: “Anything to screw Cyn’s plan.” she walks forward with her arm light

N: “And for mom backstory. Right dude?” he looks down at Uzi who blushes with a smile (GAHAHGHAHG THEY’RE SO CUTE AHHHH) “Y-yeah.” and then follows after them. 

As they walk, V flashes her light on a sign that says ‘ DIRECTORY ’ and ‘ Emergency Assembly Area <-’ ‘Secret Elevator and an up arrow’ ‘Sentinel Reintegration Unit -> ’ N laughs and points at the secret elevator words and Uzi nods with a smile. 

Tessa: “Righty-ho, sources say that-” she steps on a rope and starts getting dragged away “-except i’m going this way, so save me if you get a chance, thanks!” and then she disappears through another door. 

They then run down the door Tessa had just been dragged through and stop when they hear the noise of a baby giggling. There is a baby robot at the end of the hall, possibly half dead with a pop-up message saying, ‘ CHILDGIGGLE.mp3 ’ 

Uzi stares at it and then asks, “Shoot the baby immediately?”

N then appears, panicked and starts shooting the baby, “That's not soon enough!” the baby then continues to laugh as it grows robo arms and legs and grabs its hat with a MD arm. They then look down as a hand attached to some rope or wire appears and they look over and see Alice and the baby. 

Alice: “Hey surface slickers.” She clicks a button and then the arm on the ground flashes blue and everything goes black. 

Next moment, Uzi is unconscious on some sort of hospital bed with her screen somewhat fractured and flashing with a warning sign and a ‘ [SYSTEM STANDBY] ’ and then something ‘ REBOOT ’ as Uzi then wakes up and sees a bright light above her and chains tying her to the hospital bed. She also notices some monitors in the corner. 

She then sits up and groans as her whole head buzzes with an electric shock and sees a magnet on her head. She then hears an ax and looks over and sees Alice cutting into a dead worker drone as its head lands in a bucket labeled ‘ Heads ’ Uzi tries to struggle out of her bounds. 

Alice: “Sentinels picked at this one. I try and not damage good parts.” she says to Uzi who frowns confusedly. Alice then crawls over to Uzi, “Of course, some parts are more valuable than others, ain’t they?” She then crawls over to the corner and opens a curtain, revealing V sitting there, smiling creepily. 

V: “More valuable”

Uzi: “Whoa hey, cut that thing up and you’re gonna get a big creepy worm. An improvement.” (singsong voice)

Alice: “Nah, he keeps them sluggish.” She crawls over to an oven and opens it, revealing jars of cores being heated up. “Ain’t our first rodeo.”

Uzi frowns and then shakes her head as she tries to use her solver, “Okay, that's enough of th-this-” her head then makes an electric buzz as she groans, her visor flicking from a warning sign, to the solver symbol on one eye, to both eyes with X ’s to normal. She tries again but finds she can’t do it and gasps when she can’t. 

Alice laughs and crawls over to her, “Dealt with witches ‘fore too.” She then grabs Uzi’s necklace with her knife tail and gets a better look at it. “Though ain’t seen 02 since she left us to die.” Uzi frowns fearfully 

Meanwhile, Tessa and N are both in the same situation as V and Uzi, though N is more calm while Tessa is more angry. “Little buddy, you’re gonna get red and sad if you try that with me.” she says as N literally gets cut open. 

N: “It tickles! The bad version though!” The baby robot cutting him frowns slightly and wipes its face with a napkin using a human hand as N then smiles at it. “Doing great, dude.”

Tessa: “N, who’s side-” she then groans and falls back against the bed.

N nods to the baby robot “Tried sawing there?” Beau frowns and then starts sawing as N frowns and motions with his head for somewhere else. Beau then puts his blade there and N nods with a wink as Beau smiles and starts to spin his saw until the radio beside him beeps. 

Alice: “Beau! We’ve got Nori’s kid here-” in the background of the audio you can hear Uzi biting her and laughing evilly as Alice then says, “Need more sedatives, it’s bitey.” Beau then glances at the magnets in a bowl and grabs two more, wincing as he leaves the room after putting in a code. N then waves to him and Beau waves back before leaving. 

Tessa: “Finally, the code, lordy.” she then shoves the magnet off of her with a knife and gives N finger guns, “Walk and talk?”

Act 2.

Meanwhile back with Uzi, Beau attaches more magnets to her head as she spits out Alice’s finger at Beau. “How’d you know my mom? Was she cool? She didn’t suck did she?” she asks Alice who is putting a new finger together as she grabs gardening shears and smiles darkly as she jumps on a chair and swivels over to Uzi, glancing at Beau. 

Alice: “Back to the others.” Beau then disappears and Uzi sees Tessa and N escaping through one of the screens and she smiles. Alice then shines a bright light in Uzi’s face and Uzi groans. “You’re a lot like her, I’ll say.” she gets closer as she brings the shears closer to Uzi, “Except her yellow eyes.”

Alice then grabs one of Uzi’s fingers with her shears, but Uzi smacks it away, “Easy, creep. You’ve got the wrong-” Uzi then gasps in pain as Alice stabs her knife in Uzi’s hand, keeping it pinned as she leans in closer. 

Alice: “Nori, right?” she twists the knife in Uzi’s hand and Uzi cries out in pain. “Sure thought killing all those folks was pretty slick.” She brings the shears back to Uzi’s finger as Uzi breathes rapidly in both fear and pain. She holds out her solver to try and bring the shears away but it doesn’t work. 

Uzi: “Wait, sto-o-op. Se-eriously-” She gasps as Alice increases the pressure and Uzi’s eye turns to a warning symbol. “W-w-what a-a-re y-you -t-ta-alking about-” her hand then pops up with a ‘ERROR’ message as Alice then chops off her finger and Uzi screams. 

Meanwhile V has been hearing the whole thing and winces as she hears Uzi scream. Back with Beau, he comes back to the room all happy with a wave only to see that N is gone. He then starts looking for them as N and Tessa are hiding in a cubicle, Tessa typing on a computer. 

N: “They’ve gotta be in there, right?”

Tessa: “No worries, we’ll save V.” she turns around in her chair doing the same motion Uzi did after N and V woke up from their memories. N frowns and kicks a chair away as he frowns at Tessa. 

N: “And Uzi.” 

Tessa turns back to her computer as the light turns yellow and then she turns back to N. “Wanna take a gander at earth, N?”

N: “No Tessa, we don’t have time-” she backs away and he stares at the screen with wide eyes as it then pans back to Beau who is freaking out. 

Alice: “They can’t leave the office, idjit!” She then turns back to Uzi whose finger is dripping oil into a bucket that says ‘ Fingers N’ Junk ’ “Can’t get back in our rooms neither.” she then shuts the doors, and the one Uzi is in. She then opens door 3, letting out the sentinels. 

Uzi gasps and weakly says, “W-wait, please.” 

Alice stares at the screens as she eats some batteries in a popcorn box. Uzi’s eye flashes with the solver symbol and she gasps as it also flashes yellow. 

Meanwhile, N is staring at a picture of a blown up earth on the computer screen. He looks at Tessa who then grabs the keyboard. “We know it mutates in damaged AI.” She clicks some buttons and it moves to a screen showing a yellow symbol in code of the solver symbol. 

Tessa: “It took Cyn as a host, then it took everything. The humans here saw what was happening at home. Thought they could understand it.” shows a picture of Nori and Yeva in front of a scientist with a clipboard that says ‘ WHAT HORROR HATH MAN'S HUBRIS WROUGHT THIS TIME? ’ 

Then Tessa switches the feed to a video of Nori  with the top labeled ‘ <002- “NORI”> it then shows Nori with the same form Cyn had. “All they did was spread it.”

N: “Then Uzi, you can fix her, right? That’s why you’re here?”

Tessa turns off the computer and walks towards N, “I’m here to find which drones were infected. When we get to the labs and find that list, I’ll need you to choose the universe, over one little drone, N. Before she’s not herself anymore.”

N then frowns, about to say something when a sentinel appears beside them and paralyzes N, grabbing him and throwing him against a wall. 

Alice laughs as she watches the whole thing, except for Beau who frowns. He glances at Uzi who is trying to use her solver but it keeps glitching between purple and yellow as she pants. Her eyes then turn to a warning symbol and the solver symbol. Then her screen cracks as her visor fills with yellow code. Here's the code of what I can read:

WARNING-   _TERMINATE

•    STRING    -     10101010101010101 (like 100x)

Her eyes then appear again, but her screen is cracked, she has random code all over it, one eye is normal and the other is the solver symbol and it's all yellow. Beau frowns and then sees Uzi using the yellow solver symbol on the button doors.

Meanwhile, the sentinel is about to eat N when Tessa approaches from behind it. “Hey, fella. Me, human, order you to be a nice dingo, please?” The sentinel then growls and scans her and looks a little confused as ‘Tessa’ touches its nose. It then grabs her hands and bites it as ‘Tessa’ yells, “Bad dingo! Bad, dingo!”

The dingo’s visor then looks at Tessa’s arm with a ‘ OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE AI TARGETS ’ but then it glitches red as the objective changes to ‘ BE A NICE DINGO ’ and an ‘ ERROR ’ as it smacks its head against the wall and goes unconscious. 

Act 3.

More sentinels then enter and approach Tessa as Alice watches gleefully. She picks up another battery but before she can pop it in her mouth, she frowns as she sees that all the batteries are floating. She turns around and sees Beau and the other items floating as well. She then looks at Uzi whose head is backwards as she sits up like a broken drone. “Huh?”  

Uzi /Solver : “Oh, don’t mind me.” her head then turns around all the way as her eyes are yellow and one of them is the solver symbol. V looks over at the curtain with a worried frown. 

Uzi/ Solver then cracks her hands in unnatural positions as she uses the yellow solver and her hand falls with a [NULL] pop-up right above it. Right behind Alice appears a gigantic yellow black hole with the message [NULL] on it. It then explodes and breaks the wall behind it as Alice backs away and Uzi falls unconscious. 

Meanwhile with the sentinels and Tessa, one of the doors open and the sentinels chase after it as Alice tries to shut the door. “Beau! Help me with-” The sentinel then paralyzes her and she falls to the ground and the sentinel jumps over her, looking around the room. It walks up to Uzi but before it can do anything, Beau uses his blaster and free’s V. 

Beau then tips his hat as the sentinel eats him (NOOO BEAU!) and V free’s Uzi of her chains, but before she can grab her, the sentinels surround her and she closes her eyes and points her gun hands at them only for a fleshy blackhole to swallow them up and then melt into blood. V then looks at Uzi and sees her visor healing itself. 

Tessa meanwhile pokes at N as he is still unconscious and paralyzed. “Wakey, wakey.”

N’s screen then reads, ‘ YOU’RE BOOTLOOPED [IDIOT] ’ and he wakes up on a bed next to Tessa, gasping as he shoots up. 

Tessa: “Don’t say I never did anything for-” all of a sudden V crashes in with an unconscious Uzi on her back.

N: “V! Is Uzi-” he jumps off the bed and runs over to them. 

V: “Hurt. We’re leaving.”

Tessa: “I can take a squiz at-”

V then jumps forward and points her sword at Tessa angrily, “You said you could control the sentinels.”

Tessa grabs at her bloody arm and then looks away, “I-Oh at least they can’t boot loop me, but we’ll just have to-” 

V then backs away from Tessa angrily, “Do whatever you want. N?” N looks indecisive and worried as Tessa puts a hand on his shoulder

Tessa: “It's okay, N. I haven’t been honest with V yet.”

V then glares at Tessa and looks at N “What did she tell you?”

Uzi then wakes up, groaning in pain “Ow..my freaking head.” immediately becomes happy and relieved as she sees N, “N!?” N smiles at her and gives a shy wave as Uzi then runs into N and hugs him tightly. N hugs her back tightly and V then glares at Tessa.

Then all of a sudden, the sentinels come back online, this time with red lights as they track the footprints. One of the sentinels is right below the group, unaware that they are there as V points her gun at them.

Uzi meanwhile gently taps N and asks with her visor, ‘ U GOOD? ’ to which N just shrugs. Uzi then asks , ‘ TALK LATER? ’ with a small smile. N then replies with , ‘ IT SUCKS PRETTY HARD ’ Uzi then frowns for a moment and then says , ‘ >:3 ’ to which N smiles slightly. They then look over as they notice the sentinels leaving. They then jump down and see Doll’s body in a corridor in front of them. She’s holding the squirming bug and it says, ‘ WELCOME BACK 048 ’ and ‘ Call Elevator ’ to which it replied with ‘ PLEASE PLACE ME ON PROXIMITY READER (CABIN FEVER LABS) ’ to which there was no reply. 

Uzi stares skeptically as N frowns and V also stares skeptically. 

Uzi: “That’s convenient.”

V then jumps in front of Uzi, summoning her hand blade, “It's a trap.” Uzi gives her a look and then grabs her arm as she says, “Yeah, no..Nevermind.” she then pushes V away slightly with her tail.

Uzi then summons her Solver and both V and N freak out, yelling, “Don’t!” 

N grabs Uzi’s hand and then looks at V as V frowns at him. Uzi frowns at him and then Tessa standing by Doll’s body calls, “Oi! Bloody convenient, eh?” she is spinning the bug on her finger as the bug says, ‘ OH MY GOSH STOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOPSTOP ’ 

All three of them look at each other in disappointment as V puts away her weapon and they walk towards Tessa. N and Uzi walk with their hands together as Uzi is blushing and so is N, both of them sweating (ehehehe) as Uzi gently shoves him and they release their hands. Only for them to hold hands again eheheheh. 

Tessa is using the bug to which the bug says, ‘ UNAUTHORIZED USER ’ with a red X on the bottom. As Uzi and N walk forward with their hands together, V and Tessa frown at them. 

V: “Ew.”

Tessa: “Don’t date my robot please.”

Uzi then lets go of his hand as she runs to Tessa while still blushing, this time angry, “He’s his own person!” she then turns to V and shoves her weapon away, “You ew! You’re mean.”

V just rolls her eyes and pouts as Doll then grabs the bug with her solver and appears behind them with one of her eyes reading, ‘ BUFFERING.GIF ’ with a buffering symbol. Also it's yellow. Her eye then turns back to normal (still yellow tho) as she shoves the bug on the platform. 

The bug says, ‘ BRUH.JPG ’ with a skull next to it as alarms start going off. Doll quickly teleports out but not before opening all the sentinel doors and saluting to Uzi. The elevator then appears, but so do the sentinels as they notice the group and Tessa steps in front of them. 

Tessa: “Uh oh, hope I don’t human everywhere!” She shows her blood to the sentinels, but the sentinels have different messages on their screens. 

When they look at Tessa, there are multiple error messages, ‘’ ERROR: //10.11.10111’ ‘WARN.NULL ’ as the sentinels then walk forward. 

Tessa and V get ready to fight while Uzi tries to use her solver to open the door to the elevator. Luckily it works, but N notices and shouts, “Uzi, no!” 

Uzi glances at him and then gasps as she loses control and her solver turns yellow as her fingers crack and she makes another fleshy blackhole. 

Tessa meanwhile is throwing her blood at the dino’s “Whoops, all mitosis!”

One of the sentinels grabs a MD arm in its mouth and shoots a bullet at them to which V catches with her claws and shoots the gun away from the sentinel. V has her glasses on as she asks, “Did I get it?” 

Meanwhile, Uzi is struggling to gain control of her solver as N then cuts off her arm. But as Uzi is slowly falling back, her eyes flash yellow with a creepy smile as a message pops up saying, ‘ MISS ME? ’ and then N catches her before she hits the floor as Uzi coughs, her visor glitching. 

Uzi asks “what is going on” but it's all glitchy and also mixed with Cyn/ solver ’s voice. Tessa notices and comments, “Bugger, that’s bad. Come on team." She shoves Uzi and N in the elevator as the elevator sparks and starts to fall, barely hanging by a thread. N shoots up and looks at V. 

N: “V, come on!” V however is still fighting the sentinel as the elevator dips a little lower. Another sentinel appears though and bites off the platform button, making the elevator go back up. The sentinels then destroy her glasses as V turns to N. 

V: “Hey, um-”

N: “No, no, no! V, we need you!”

V: “Nah. Uzi,” she glances at Uzi who is lying on the floor of the elevator, with a cut off arm and glitching screen. “..I trust you.” She then smiles as she uses her weapon to cut the ropes of the elevator. 

N: “V! Please!”

V then closes her eyes and salutes with a smile as the sentinels surround her and the elevator chains get snapped. That's where it ends for that episode.

Chapter Text

Act 1.

The episode starts with some sort of church in the middle of a thunderstorm. There are sentinels outside on chains. On the church is a banner that reads ‘LAB SPACE FOR RENT’ ‘LEASED’ ‘CABIN FEVER’ inside of the church are a bunch of scientists who are working on something. 

One of the scientists, Ridley, speaks up, “Science holding strong sir!” and then in a dramatic voice, “Math.”

In the middle of the church tied up to something is Nori who is corrupted by the solver and smiling creepily with yellow eyes as one of the scientists yell, “Dr. Chambers!”

The scientist looks at them and stammers, “O-Oh, no--I-I-I’m not..” he glances at a hanger which is empty, and then another closet with a suit that says ‘MITCHELL’ and ‘INTERN’

Mitchell then whispers to another scientist, “Is this guy important?” 

Meanwhile Nori frees herself and then attacks Mitchell as the scientists power on the blue circle she’s in, causing her to fall to the floor with a warning sign on her screen. Her tentacles spread out but then are pulled back into the circle as Ridley throws an ID at Mitchell. “Chambers! Get 48!”

Mitchell looks down at the card in his hand which is an ID for Yeva, also known as 048. “Riight, so..This a doctor-specific thing?” Ridley then pulls out some sort of cross with a charge thing at the end of it and walks towards the circle. 

Mitchell: “Cause I’m on it!” He then runs out of the church and to a cave which have the two skull symbols that Uzi and Doll’s jewelry had. Inside the cave are a bunch of lockers with names and numbers on them. Here are the names and numbers I can read:

019 

AATT

024 

TRISS

048

YEVA

006 

RIIID

029

AMDA

He then finds Yeva’s locker and opens it. Yeva was playing tetris in russian but her screen flashed ‘PAUSED’ when she saw Mitchell and she opened her eyes. She’s all chained up and looks up at him as he points to her ID and shrugs. Yeva just rolls her eyes and bangs her head on her locker as the two run to the church. 

As they make it back in, Ridley calls for Mitchell as she’s stabbed the cross thingy in Nori’s visor, knocking her offline. “Chambers! Get over here!” 

Mitchell however keeps Yeva outside as he stammers, “Y-yep, um. So, I…couldn’t find 48?” He lies as Yeva tries to bang her way in. She frowns in confusion for a moment and then realizes what this means. 

Ridley: “Whatever!”

Mitchell: “R-Right. Uh..here I…come..” he notices that everything around him seems to be glitching so he walks hesitantly, afraid. He then sees everything around them is a hologram as Nori/Solver grabs Ridley and drags her to the circle, pulling her in as Ridley screams. 

The rest of the church then breaks and starts to crumble as the circle becomes a flesh hole. Mitchell backs away and then notices the cross thingy on the floor. He picks it up and then sees Nori/Solver climb out of the hole and she has the creepy tentacles Cyn did. She drags her claws against the ground as she walks like Cyn did and looks up at Mitchell with a creepy smile. “Thanks for..the new host. Intern.” She then has a solver eye and uses her solver symbol to grab the cross. 

Nori/Solver: “MacGuffin.”

The feed then turns to static and backs out as we notice it's playing on a computer. The one at the computer is listening to electro peppy music through headphones and is comparing the cross thing with the one on the screen. 

Nori, just a core wearing headphones, uses her solver to move things around as she glances at a map that's been marked out. She then takes off the headphones and puts the map away in a small treasure chest, jumping off the desk and walking with the treasure chest and a pickaxe as she’s in the broken down church. The flesh hole is still there though. 

Now back with our main group, Uzi, N, and Tessa all fall down into some mineshaft area as Uzi coughs. Their exit then gets blocked out by rocks and N tries to shoot at them but it hardly does anything. He then gets his claws out and moves the rocks, trying desperately to get back up. 

N: “Uzi! Help! Use your Solver!”

Tessa: “N, watch it!”

He then looks back and sees that Uzi had used her solver to keep the rocks from crushing her. One of her eyes is bleeding and she’s holding it with her hand as she holds the rocks with her other hand and a yellow solver symbol as she pants and whimpers in both exhaustion and pain. 

Uzi: “I…don’t think I sh-should. I’m sorry N..”

N: “Oh..No, no. It’s okay. Uzi I-” he walks forward with a worried frown “I am so sorry-”

Tessa: “Enough, N. We’ll save V after we finish here.” Uzi’s eyes widen as Tessa says sweetly, “Uzi, let’s have you sit this one out, eh? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?”

Uzi: “What? No, I-”

Tessa: “N.”

Uzi looks at N who frowns worriedly, “Uzi, there, um…might be some stuff down here that you don’t want to see..”

Uzi frowns and then glares at them as she weakly stands up, leaning herself against a rock for support. “Ohhhh, what the heck is going on?” she then falls against the rock

N: “Nothing! We don’t know everything yet, but…” he glances at Tessa and points at Uzi angrily, “We’re not gonna hurt you!” he then looks at Uzi with a nervous smile, “Okay?”

Uzi’s eyes widen and then she slowly backs away as she asks, “Hurt me..?” Her hand then charges up with the yellow solver symbol and her eye also does the same as she accidentally creates a tiny black hole with the small ‘[NULL]’ inside.

Uzi gasps and tries to control it, tries to squish it or something as it turns purple, but then it blasts them and more rocks fall as Uzi glances at N with betrayal on her face and takes a step back when N reaches his hand out. The rocks then fall and completely bury Uzi from view.

Meanwhile, Lizzy and Thad are wandering outside while Lizzy is on her phone. Thad looks around with worry. 

Thad: “Aaand you won’t tell me why we’re wandering around’ cause…?” 

Lizzy reaches her hand back and shoves Thad a bit as she keeps staring at her phone. 

Lizzy: “I’m a good friend, and secrets are blackmail.” she turns around to face him, looking away from her phone for the first time “And it's not about football.”

Thad simply nods “Okay. Does your secret friend want to know about football, or…?” 

Lizzy just frowns at him and then all of a sudden a huge rumbling happens and everything starts floating including Lizzy and Thad while a few car alarms go off. 

Lizzy, Thad: “Whoa, whoa-oof!” 

They then suddenly fall along with the cars and everything else as Lizzy looks up at Thad and he gives a little hand gesture to show he’s alright. They then notice a bright light as a pod comes and lands on the spire right behind them with J appearing and flying into the spire. Thad frowns and looks at Lizzy. 

Thad: “So is that related to the thing you’re looking fo-” 

Lizzy frowning “No.” she then laughs as she picks up her phone and starts using it. “Yeah, yeah. No, it is.”

Meanwhile N is sort of knocked out from the impact of the rocks falling as the walls shake around him slightly. His visor reads ‘SYS STATUS: [KNOCKED TF OUT].../ it then changes to a SYS STATUS: [REBOOTING]

N wakes up gasping as he notices his arm stuck in the rocks. He tries to pull on it and looks to the tunnel in front of him which is darkened except for a single lamp hanging from the ceiling as the walls crumble around him. “Uzi? Uzi!” his voice echoes and there is no reply. 

N then looks over at his arm which is still crushed under a rock with a lot of oil splattered onto the rocks as it twitches slightly. He then pulls out his blade and sighs, repeating “I deserve this. I deserve this. I deserve this.” he looks away, about to cut his arm when he hears V’s laughter from far away. 

N looks up and sees V in the darkness up ahead in her maid outfit and worker drone body as she waves to him with a short smile and yellow eyes. The lights flicker in and out as for a brief second it shows a giant tentacle body behind her. N rightfully screams and is then cut off. 

Meanwhile in another room down in the labs, there are a few posters on the wall and blueprints. The first poster is of a cool smiley face emoji with the words ‘RSCH012- CABIN FEVER’ and ‘OT IS OPTIONAL!’ ‘UNRELATED: THE SINGULARITY IS ACTIVELY CONSUMING EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR!!1’ 

Another poster beside it says ‘LAB SPACE’ and ‘WE GET THE SURFACE LE- IRONY OF THE CHURCH THING’ ‘IT’S WHAT WAS AVAILABLE-WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS IT WAS LITERALLY JUST DOWN HERE’ and a small ‘i’m scared lol’

Another paper is a smaller one with a ‘FUN TIME TO UNIVERSE BIG CRUNCH’ with the numbers ‘87’ 

The blueprints read ‘Lab space-Cabin Fever Cathedral & Mineshaft blueprints’

Uzi comes running in and leans her hand on one of the papers as she gasps for breath, one of her eyes yellow and the other purple. The shaft continues to crumble. 

The paper reads ‘JcJenson’ ‘Dear CF Staff (human), Due to lack of progress in units (sans 048), Team 06 (Ridley), is tasked with reattempting 002’s recovery VIA failsafe USB (606b) THE EXPECTED COMPLETION DATE IS SEP 27TH 11:59 PM’ a picture of Nori all solvery is shown and below it is a small caption that reads ‘don’t all die and almost let it out again lol we’re pretty mad but mostly scared about that’ 

Uzi’s eye continues to glitch as she tries to catch her breath and calm down as her eyes turn back to normal. She then notices the paper and she gasps as she looks at the paper next to it which is a picture of the cathedral with the caption ‘Fig.14’ ‘fitted holding chamber’ 

Uzi frowns and then looks up at the signs above that read ‘DIRECTORY’ Junction A (up arrow),Holding Chamber (1-C) (down arrow)’ she walks closer to it and then notices a tunnel on her right with a bunch of fleshy organic stuff all around the walls and a human skeleton in the middle of it, holding up a lit lamp. 

Uzi stares at the lamp and skeleton and then takes the lamp with her tail as she starts walking backwards, giving the ‘I i’m watching you’ finger gesture and runs out of the tunnel. She glances back at the skeleton but then leaves again. 

Meanwhile, N is hurrying to cut off his hand while ‘V’ starts talking. 

‘V’: “I missed you, N.” 

N(panicked): “T-Thank you, mineshaft trauma ghost..I can hear you fine from there!” 

‘V’ continues walking towards him “You know, you’re one of the main reasons I wanted your t-eam (glitching) to retain your pers-pers-onalities.” ‘V’ approaches N with an eldritch claw-like hand grabbing her head to make her move. N stops for a moment, still panicked as he looks at ‘V’. 

‘V’: “You always surprised me.” the lights shut off as ‘V’ reaches a tentacle and grabs N. 

N: “Huh?-” as ‘V’ pulls N away, the arm he was working on snaps off painfully and N cries out in pain as ‘V’s voice glitches to Cyn’s voice. 

Solver: “Loved doing anything.” Cyn then appears with a creepy smile and yellow eyes as she hugs N and N suddenly remembers something. 

In this memory, whatever world N is on is being destroyed as people and robots scream in the background while the DD’s tear them apart. N is holding onto a human body with a top hat (James maybe?? Or someone else??) and he drops it as its head lolls on the ground. V and J are shooting someone as they then tear into them and eat them like animals. A plane shoots at them but a tentacle stabs straight through the plain and takes it away. In the distance other DD’s are fighting and killing. N stands in a puddle of..blood maybe? As it rains blood. 

The memory then glitches out as yellow code pops up on the screen:

DISP . TXT: 

-ALL DOGS RELOCATED TO

-DOG PLANET BTW

-THEY’RE CHILLIN

DISP . TXT:  

-THIS DOG DID IN FACT APPEAR IN THE EPISODE. GET SNUCK UPON

As N is about done reliving whatever memory that was, while Cyn is hugging him, his screen pops up with an error message reading ‘ACCESS DENIED CONTACT ADMIN ‘DARKXWOLF17’

N then gasps as he wakes back up and Cyn lets go of him, a creepy eldritch tentacle body keeping her stable. 

Solver: “Thanks for clearing the way on this planet, too. Let’s eat.” She then turns into a hologram and disappears as N falls to the floor and gets dragged into the dark abyss of the mineshaft with a scream. 

Act 2.

The cathedral looms in the distance as Uzi appears at the end of the mineshaft, her tail still holding the lantern. She glances at the necklace in her hand which has the ‘002’ nametag on it. Uzi then puts it on and flies towards the cathedral. She hesitantly opens the door and then sneaks in, climbing around on the walls and hanging on a chandelier as she looks down and notices a huge fleshy hole. 

She looks over as she hears music (hehe the song ‘bite me’) coming from some headphones at a computer desk nearby. She lands on top of the chair and stares at the wall which has a bunch of posters and drawings of the cool S. One poster says ‘REMNANT’ with a ghostly girl on the cover and another has shadowed teeth with a ‘XIV’ Uzi pauses the music and then shoves a weird looking plushie off the chair and sits down. The screen in front of her is paused from what Nori had been watching. 

Uzi takes a moment and then rewinds it and watches it as she becomes more and more mortified and horrified and shocked. 

Meanwhile, N is being dragged away by the Solver and tries to shoot at it but he misses as it smacks him along the floor. Looking ahead he sees a hole with a bunch of creepy human hands reaching out towards him. N whimpers and screams as he tries to dig his claws into the ground to keep from being pulled, but it doesn’t work. 

The monster drags him further into the fleshy hole and right as everything seems hopeless, a pickaxe held by a purple solver chops the monster's tentacle. Nori’s heart/core appears and does a cool flip as she grabs the pickaxe and tosses the patch at N. N catches it as Nori hops onto him. 

Nori: “Why is Cyn after her own murder-pet? You stupid or something?”

N: “Oh yeah.” (does cool hand guns at her with a chill face)

Nori jumps onto his face and climbs onto his head. “Cool by me, then. Drive!” She then smacks his visor as they hear creepy monster noises approaching and N yelps and starts to run. As he runs, he shoots behind him and rocks fall behind him, but the solver quickly breaks them as he continues to run. 

Nori then climbs onto N’s arm and grabs his face “Hey, you look familiar. Watch the road. You got wings?” 

N(Panicked): “Um, I guess-”

Nori grabs at his head “Focus! Left!” they turn left lol

Nori: “Think you could get this cross to the surface? I’m lookin’ for a hunk named Khan.”

N: “Uzi’s dad?” 

Nori starts using her solver and N looks at her confused “What-” he gets cut off as Nori throws her pickaxe and causes both of them to fall against a wall hidden from the solver as the solver shrieks, looking for them. The screeching then fades as Nori turns to N, skeptical. 

Nori: “How do you know my daughter?”  

Meanwhile back with Lizzy and Thad, the two of them are hiding behind a car while staring at the spire. 

Thad: “So how do we-”

Lizzy: “Punch.” 

Thad: “Can’t her hands be guns?”

Lizzy: “Kick also.” 

Lizzy starts walking away and Thad begins to laugh evilly as he joins her, both of them walking towards the spire. Just as they are walking forward, a sudden explosion happens as the two of them get launched back and J appears, climbing into her pod and taking off. 

Thad and Lizzy then look at the spire where everything seems to be on fire. Lizzy takes a picture as Khan then approaches behind them, grabbing Lizzy's phone and handing Thad a blueprint. 

Khan: “Part 2A, check the perimeter.”

Thad unrolls the blueprint which reads ‘Uzi’s sick AF RAILGUN THATS COOL & DOESN’T SUCK! >:(‘ with blueprints of Uzi’s railgun. More notes are written on the sides ‘(YOU SUCK) 30 MIN RECHARGE TIME, THAT’LL BE FINE.’ and then a drawing of Uzi shooting the DD with a caption ‘MEGA DEAD LOL’ ‘OTHER THINGS IT CAN DO: -NOT JUDGE ME, -FORCED PROM DATE, -I CAN SAY I HAD FRIENDS BUT FRICKIN’ MURDERED THEM WITH SCI-FI TECHNOLOGY’ ‘I think this is a robot liver or something lol’ and ‘PLAN B: NORMAL GUN+SHOOT REALLY- the next word isn’t visible lol)

Thad: “M-Mr. Doorman, sir?” 

Thad looks up from the blueprints at Khan who is holding a railgun and scrounges around for a piece for the gun. 

Khan: “Bad crowd, those murder drones. Destroying ways off the planet-” suddenly becomes super dramatic “My wife…” back to normal voice “My daughter having interests beyond cannibalism and…nightcore!” He picks up a piece from the pile and dramatically poses as the ground rumbles and they start floating again. 

The rumbling stops and they fall back on the ground as Khan inserts the piece into the gun. “It's the end times!” he chuckles and then walks over to Thad and Lizzy. “If my wife’s closet is right, the planet’s gonna try to eat us soon.”

Thad opens his mouth to speak and puts up his finger, but Lizzy shakes her head no, gesturing not to say anything. 

Meanwhile back with ‘Tessa’, she opens a locker labelled ‘032 MIKA’ as she opens it, the side of the locker door has the letters ELP (HELP maybe??) with a dead drone inside the locker, two magnets on its head and fleshy wings behind it, chained up. ‘Tessa’ closes the door and opens another one labelled ‘012 JAME’ and once again inside is another dead drone with sharp teeth, a broken visor, two magnets on its head and fleshy wings on its back. The words on the side of the locker say ‘WON’T YOU HELP’ 

‘Tessa’ then opens a locker labelled ‘002’ ‘NORI!’ (decorated with a dolphin, a squid, and two hearts) ‘STAY OUT! >:(‘ inside the locker is empty, with rust inside it but nothing else. ‘Tessa’ walks alongside the lockers, dragging her hand across them as she notices a computer in the corner and starts typing on it. The computer messages/typings: 

BIOINFORMATIC CHALLENGE

I’M NOT A ROBOT (with a fingerprint scanner)

‘Tessa’ then puts her finger on the button and it turns green with a ‘ UR AIGHT ;) ’

MESSAGE BOARD

UGH, FINALLY WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE FRIKKEN ROBOTS MAN, JEEZ, THEY KNOW NO ONE LIKES THEM RIGHT? IT’D BE FUNNY IF I WASN’T’ SO AFRAID LOL

‘Tessa’ then types something into the computer and a pop-up appears:

SYS://PURGE

THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE UNDONE

TIME REMAINING:  00:00:03:00

‘Tessa’ then walks away as the computer explodes behind her, bursting into flames. A knife comes hurtling at her, but Tessa catches it, the red solver symbol holding onto the knife as Doll suddenly teleports behind her. 

Doll: “Where’s the patch, human?”

‘Tessa’: “Hmm? Not sure what you mea-” 

Doll suddenly tries to hit ‘Tessa’ with another knife, but Tessa blocks it with the knife she is holding as Doll answers. “The USB Patch. To exorcize the Solver’s possession. Where is it?”

‘Tessa’ parries back with her knife and Doll is pushed back a little. 

‘Tessa’: “So that’s what they were doing down here, huh? Crucifix lookin’ thing?”

Doll: “Wouldn’t you know?” 

‘Tessa’: “Had my suspicions, but they kept cutting my feed.” She then slashes Doll with her sword as Doll’s eye patch falls off, revealing a broken hole where Doll’s other eye should be, oil spilling out of it. 

‘Tessa’: “Patch to save yourself, huh?”

Doll: “I will not let it use me to consume the planet!” she holds her knife out at ‘Tessa’ as ‘Tessa’ spins her own knife around in the air. 

‘Tessa’: “Hmm? Not sure it needs you, buddy.” she throws her knife which dislodges Doll’s own knife from her hand, landing on the ground beside her. ‘Tessa’ disappears and everything goes black as Doll hears an approaching screech from around her. She holds out her solver as a light to look around and backs away slightly as the screeching suddenly stops, becoming light footsteps. 

The footsteps become more rapid and closer as Doll’s scanner struggles to identify the object with a ‘ ! --//ERROR : absoluteSolver_trn [Like object non-interactive] and a labeled ‘ NULL’ on an outline of a tentacle monster thingy that keeps glitching in and out. Doll picks up a rock and chucks it at the thing just as the thing attacks her, screeching loudly. 

Act 3.

Continuing the footage from the very beginning, Solver grabs onto the patch while the intern holds it in his hands. 

Solver: “Thanks for the new host, intern.” ‘Nori’ then chucks the patch at him and it almost hits him “Macguffin.” but then it suddenly stops in mid-air as Yeva appears behind him, shooting the patch right at ‘Nori’s visor. 

It lands exactly in her visor as ‘Nori’s’ voice glitches out “O-o-ow. Wh-what-at in the sci-ience..” her visor flashes between purple and yellow as she chucks the patch out and it falls into the flesh hole behind her. The intern gives Yeva a nervous thumbs up, a salute and then leaves as Yeva stares at him with a ‘I’m done with this’ look on her face. 

Yeva holds out her hand for Nori and Nori slowly looks up at her with a pained expression as her hand twitches with a growing ‘NULL’ circle. Nori is holding it though, trying to stop it. Her hand reaches up but before it can do anything, Yeva cuts it off with a knife and it falls into the flesh hole behind them. 

Yeva then helps Nori up and Nori looks up at her sadly as suddenly behind them a bright yellow glow appears and destroys the entire planet. 

Nori, now in her ‘core’ form finishes the story she was telling. “Then, the planet kinda half-imploded anyway. The humans all..” (mimics slicing and gagging) N hangs from a pickaxe stuck into the wall as he smiles at Nori. Nori continues, grabbing a box and pulling out a picture. “Woke up on the surface, brain scrambled enough to have a kid.” 

The picture is a faded old picture of Nori half buried in the snow right next to the ‘CAMP 98.7’ sign and Khan and other worker drones looking up in shock as a shovel sits next to him, his hand reaching for Nori.

Nori then holds out another piece of paper which she has drawn on. ‘NORI-002’ ‘POST COLLAPSE DAY 47’ ‘I THINK THE ENTITY OF PREVIOUS PAGES PURGED FILES FROM MY MEMORIES’ there is then a giant shadowy scary drawing of V in her murder form with the label ‘PET’ and ‘IT’S SENT SOMETHING(S) TO ELIMINATE THE OTHER HOSTS’ ‘PETS OF SOME KIND…’ ‘PUPPET HOSTS WITH NERFED- THE ENTITY-ENSURES CONTROL’ 

Nori: “and the rest is dumb, stupid history.” 

N claps politely as Nori glares at him and chucks the paper at him with a “Stop that.” she then jumps onto the handle of the pickaxe keeping him in place. 

Nori: “Now, the Solver’s found its way back to finish the job. Who’s its host?”

N looks at Nori with a nervous and worried expression. “Um…like, Uzi? And a red-eyed, uh-” 

Nori turns to him with a glare “Yeva’s kid, I know, dummy. Which one was just trying to eat us?” N frowns in worry and confusion at Nori. 

Meanwhile back with Uzi, she’s finished watching the footage as she stays still, the tv playing static and her visor stuck with a giant yellow solver symbol. The computer screen then suddenly cracks as Uzi’s eyes glitch between yellow and purple, one of her eyes stuck with the solver symbol. Uzi whimpers as she tries to gain control. 

Uzi backs away from the computer as her eyes go back to normal, panicked and gasping at what she had just seen. She takes off the necklace and stares at it in fear as Doll approaches, bleeding out with every stutter step she makes. Uzi drops the necklace and Doll slips on her own oil as she falls to the floor, dead.

Uzi notices Doll and her eyes widen in horror as her visor reads ‘FIGHT BACK’ in russian. Her core has been completely ripped out of her body and Uzi just watches in horror as ‘Tessa’ suddenly appears in the doorway, leaning against the door. 

‘Tessa’: “Yikes. Someone’s been busy.”

Meanwhile back with N and Nori, Nori tosses the patch at N. “Just hurry, stupid.” She tears the pickaxe out of the wall and N is freed, holding the patch. 

N: “O-of course! Uzi’s gonna freak out when I tell h-” he starts skipping forward only for Nori to slam the pickaxe right into his neck. N sticks his tongue out in a ‘bleh’ as Nori crawls onto one of the support beams and points a claw at him. 

Nori: “Tell her I’m alive, you die.”

N: “Sorry, ma’am. I won’t keep secrets from Uzi anymore…even if you say it might hurt her.” 

Nori glares at him and takes the pickaxe out as he falls to the floor with a yelp. Nori lands on top of him, angry. “Nuance alert, ma’am.” she jumps off of N. “I caused every horror in her life. Destroyed the planet, got you things sicced here-”

N: “Gave her ungodly eldritch genetics!” 

Nori throws the patch at his face and N grunts as she cracks the floor below him angrily. “No time. Promise.” 

N speaks although it's muffled and so Nori rolls her eyes and tosses the patch off of him as N holds his head with a frown and then smiles at Nori. “I promise.” 

Nori’s gaze softens a little as N then adds, “To wait until you’re ready to tell her yourself?” 

Nori groans and rolls her eyes. “Bite me.” 

Meanwhile back with Uzi and ‘Tessa’, Uzi panics as she looks between Doll’s corpse and ‘Tessa’, fearfully backing away. 

Uzi: “T-Tessa, I-I-I didn’t-” 

‘Tessa’ walks forward as Uzi backs away, and she brings out her sword, scraping it on the ground as she walks. Uzi continues to stutter and try to defend herself. 

Uzi: “Sh-She just-”

Uzi gasps and one of her eyes turn yellow as she fearfully yells, “Wait!-” she almost falls, but a robotic claw retracts from her back (like the ones eldritch J had) and grabs onto a pillar to support her as one of her wings also appears, dragging on the floor. 

Uzi(panicked and scared): “S-Something else did this to Doll! You-you have to believe-” she holds out her solver, one of her eyes the solver symbol as she gasps, her solver unable to latch onto Tessa. 

TASK MANAGER

02:11: 22

(There is a screen that looks similar to that of a humans vitals screen)

WDID:  UZI

EDGY MODE

(Lots of little icons I can’t really read well)

(A small battery icon in the lower left corner that seems to be mostly charged)

On the side is a lil pop-up screen with a ‘ DRONEAMP’ (Its playing something) and a ‘-DEAD BATTERIES’ ‘-LITHIUM’ 

In the middle of it all is the same message Doll had gotten:

‘ ! --//ERROR : absoluteSolver_trn [Like object non-interactive] ‘ERROR:NULL’ 

‘Tessa’: “No worries. Makes my job easier.” Tessa’ kicks Uzi down and starts running her blade through her wings as Uzi screams in pain, holding out her solver with great strain. 

‘Tessa’: “Thought there’d be more of you silver freaks anyway.” She then steps on Uzi’s hand as Uzi whimpers, her eye colors flashing between yellow and purple rapidly. ‘Tessa’ then points her sword right above Uzi’s core and shatters the glass protecting it as she leans on the sword, lifting a hand to kill Uzi once and for all. But right as she’s about to kill Uzi, a sword is thrust at her neck as N appears, angry. One of his eyes is a yellow X and he’s holding the patch. 

N: “You knew about the patch. Yes, or no? One chance.” 

‘Tessa’ puts a finger to the sword and gently pushes it away as she turns around to N. “Cute. You know why I keep you around N-” N then suddenly slashes off her head as she turns around, the head lolling to the ground and her body dropping. He has a big yellow X on his visor. 

N then gasps for breath as he tries to process what just happened, one of his eyes an X again. Uzi meanwhile tears the sword out of her and weakly turns to N, sitting on her knees and grabbing the patch without looking up. N snaps out of his fear as he smiles worriedly at Uzi. 

N: “Hey, buddy..Yeah, that should help..” he gently pushes the patch closer to her as she holds it, still looking down. “All I know is, I need you…” he lets go of the patch and Uzi holds onto it, still looking down. “To figure things out…together..?” Uzi grabs onto his hand and the other X in his eye disappears as he smiles softly at her. 

He helps her up and they hold hands for a second before ‘Uzi’ squeezes his hand tightly and N gasps in pain as she giggles, holding up the patch with her solver as it turns yellow and then turning it into dust. N’s eyes go wide as ‘Uzi’ continues to laugh, suddenly looking up as her eyes are hollowed yellow circles and her smile is sharp and wide. 

Solver: “That’s really sweet, big brother.” Solver then tosses N and giggles as she stabs him with her pincer-like back claw thing (idk what to call it lol) “Too bad you’ve served your purpose.” she creepily turns around as she hobbles towards him, another back pincer-like thing appearing. 

Solver: “Your backups will forgive me.” She tries to stab N with the pincer thing but a pickaxe blocks it from hitting him as Nori then appears in all her glory doing a cool flip and everything, landing on N’s shoulder. She holds out the pickaxe and then slices the pincer arms off of ‘Uzi’ as Solver frowns. 

Solver: “Nori? You’re dead.”

Nori glares at her and holds the pickaxe at her. “You’re frickin’ grounded.”

Solver: “Angry.” She grows the pincers again as she tries to hit N with them but Nori blocks it with her pickaxe as N flies both of them up into the air, dodging the pincer claws and hits one of them with his blade. 

N shoots further up into the air as Solver watches in confusion. The pickaxe then comes back around and stabs ‘Uzi’ right in the face, cracking her visor. Solver then turns around with a frown on her face as N stands in front of her, holding out his laser gun at her. He hesitates though and Solver sees an opening as she smiles creepily and fixes the hole in her visor. 

Solver lunges at N and yeets both he and Nori into the sky as they land on top of the cathedral. ‘Uzi’ rushes forward and crushes Nori into the wall with her pincer arms as N holds a shaky blade towards ‘Uzi’s’ neck. Solver grabs the blade and pushes it further into Uzi’s neck, causing sparks and oil to spill out as N watches in horror. 

Nori summons her solver and then slices the pincers as she lands on N’s arm and slaps ‘Uzi’ twice before using her pickaxe to yeet her away. ‘Uzi’s pincer arms then retract as she crashes into the part of the cathedral roof. 

N smiles and Nori turns around and slaps him twice with a glare. Behind her, ‘Uzi’ appears on top of the roof spire, healing her hand and using her solver to summon a yellow ‘NULL’ circle as she chucks ‘NULL’ circles at N and Nori. 

N dodges the circles and looks to Nori as they both nod. Nori holds out her pickaxe and N begins flying into the air, avoiding the NULL circles as they appear, lunging and grabbing the hand ‘Uzi’ is using to hold up the NULL circles. He spins her around and holds onto her hand. Solver stares in confusion as Nori suddenly appears, slicing ‘Uzi’s’ hand off and stopping the NULL circle. 

Nori jumps onto ‘Uzi’ while N flies around her, shooting at her. Solver blocks the bullets with her solver which gives Nori enough time to slice off ‘Uzi’s’ hand while she is distracted.

N then crashes right into ‘Uzi’ and Nori as they start to fall. N lands on one of the walls with Nori and Solver uses her demonic wings to keep her up as Nori throws her pickaxe at Solver. Solver holds up her handless arms and then smiles and winks at N. 

N stares in horror as he realizes Solver is going to let it hit Uzi. He then shoves her out of the way and smiles softly at her for a moment. ‘Uzi’s’ visor colors flash purple for a brief moment before the pickaxe hits him and launches him onto the floor. 

Solver grabs Nori and holds up her pickaxe as she tosses Nori in the air and uses the pickaxe to launch her (she just drop kicked Nori lol) The pickaxe stabs into one of Nori’s claw things and Solver laughs as she picks Nori up by  the pickaxe, tossing the pickaxe at N who dodges just barely. 

Solver continues to laugh while Nori struggles, Solver bringing Nori right up to her mouth as N glances at the oil around him and then at Nori and ‘Uzi’. 

N: “Nori! I should mention, Uzi and I, uh…”

Solver stops trying to eat Nori as she stares at the message N wrote with his own oil.

‘<3 HANG OUT? WE JUST KINDA ARE HANGING OUT <3 A LOT..IDK’ and then there's a doodle of a happy dog. N gives a weak thumbs up with a nervous smile. 

Solver takes Nori away from her mouth as she stares in confusion. “What?” 

Nori: “Uzi Doorman.” She turns around and glares at ‘Uzi’. “Those things killed your frickin’ mother!” She then slaps ‘Uzi’ really hard as one of Uzi’s eyes turns purple and she’s launched right into the floor. 

Uzi and Solver both fight for control as ‘Uzi’ holds onto Nori. “O-ow! I’m not-” she stands up and holds onto Nori with an angry glare. “Hey, lady! You don’t frickin’ own me!”

Uzi then gains control as her visor turns purple and N laughs in relief only for it to grow into horror as Uzi chucks Nori into the flesh hole. “Ha-ha-aaaAAAH!”

Uzi angrily glares at the flesh hole as N freaks out. “UZI!”

Uzi turns around with an angry yell. “What!? We did not discuss being gross and-” she shrieks angrily as both of them walk towards the other. 

N: “That was your mom!” 

Uzi: “What!?”

N: “Wait, no!”

They both shriek as they then embrace one another, Uzi squeezing N’s arm as digital tears fall down her visor. N gently rubs her head to soothe her. 

‘Tessa’s’ head starts to loll forward into the flesh hole as its body stops it and puts the head onto the body, creepily turning around and unzipping its suit. 

‘Tessa’ then places her head onto the floor as she makes squelching noises, walking towards Uzi and N. She drags Doll’s dead body away and N notices, releasing Uzi as Uzi looks up at him confused. She glances to where he’s looking and notices the creepy tentacle monster. The monster then devours Doll’s core and its disassembly band says ‘CYN’ on it. 

Cynessa laughs as she holds up both of her hands, robotic and flesh. “Oh, yes. Get snuck-up on.” she turns around and sticks out her tongue, her eyes small yellow x’s. Wearing Tessa as a skinsuit, Cynessa crawls forward with her tentacle thingies. “Neck bi-ite.” 

Cynessa launches herself at N as she starts ripping into his core. Uzi holds out her solver, but before she can do anything with it, Cynessa stabs her in the shoulder and starts dragging both her and N away. 

Cynessa: “It's been fun. And, also, that’s sarcasm.” she tosses N beside Uzi as she walks towards the fleshy hole with her pincer arms. “Honestly, I’m starving.” she disappears into the fleshy hole as a loud alarm sounds and a bright yellow light engulfs the entire room. Similar to how it looked at the gala right before everyone died. A large beam shoots towards the sky just as J lands with her pod right next to the lab. 

J: “Ride’s good to go, boss. Just say..” suddenly the bus approaches and hits her, knocking her back as she drops the keys and they fall into a hole. J frowns angrily and turns to the people coming out of the bus, holding her gun at them. 

J: “Who are you idiots?”

Lizzy and Thad appear all shadowed in the fog, Thad spinning a gun on his finger and Lizzy leaning on a railgun. J’s visor flashes with a ‘PRIOR HAZARD’ as she frowns.

Meanwhile with Uzi and N, the tentacle things appear out of the flesh hole and grab onto them both, Uzi whimpering as she tries to grab onto N who is unconscious with a red ‘!’ on his visor. Uzi grabs onto a ledge area in the flesh hole and then onto N, to keep both of them from falling down. 

N then blinks awake as he looks up at Uzi, who is struggling to keep hold of both of them. 

Uzi: “Hey.” 

They start to get pulled further down as another tentacle wraps itself on Uzi’s leg. N glances down and then back at Uzi. 

Uzi: “Thanks for, like…” she looks up and sees the keys fall into the hole as she then smiles sadly at N. “...Everything.” 

N: “Uzi, don’t you dare!”

Uzi tosses N up and out of the hole as she jumps, and grabs the keys with her solver. She then uses the keys to slice N’s leg off, therefore getting rid of the tentacle wrapped around him. 

Uzi floats above the hole, a tentacle grabbing her as her visor broadcasts a ‘DIE MAD’ she uses her solver to launch N away from trying to go after her as he lands outside of the cathedral. Uzi smiles sadly as more tentacles wrap around her and pull her into the hole. 

As Uzi falls, she chops off one of the tentacles with her teeth and then does a cool yet sad pose as she hits the bright yellow light at the bottom of the hole. 

When Uzi opens her eyes again, she is in space and the entire planet is split into many pieces.
