Kevin walked out in front of the two girls and turned towards corporate jargon.

"So you're familiar with the former employees of Jcjenson?" He asked slowly strutting to her.

"Of course! Why do you ask?" She asked confused but her guard still up.

"I want you to run two reports as a final request." He said as they began to circle.

"Fine, I'll give yo the courtesy. Which names do you wanna have searched?" She asked annoyed.

"Kevin Thomas and Felix Armstrong." He replied which confused a bunch of the drones but she still obliged him.

"There's files but they're blank..." she said "how do you know about them?" She asked now in attack mode.

"Take a good long look and ask that again." He said removing his hat and hair falling into the right place.

"Huh what are you talking about... wait.... That hair.... The eye color.... No... that's impossible! The company told us you were dead! That means you and him are AAAAAAAUGH!" She said scared and angry before being slammed with the Butt stock of a rail gun in the face from a sneaky uzi giving him and Felix the chance to double team her.

while that happened n dealt with his conflicting emotions with v but both of them didn't seem to have a fighting spirit at the moment.

"Hey, uh this is crazy but I wanted to ask you something if you wouldn't mind?" He said pushing past his nerves the best he could.

"Sure... but if it's what I think it's about, I don't think we'd work out... purely due to me. But maybe when this blows over... I'll give it a shot." She said with a small smile making n smile.

Back with the 3 v 1 Felix gets knocked to the side and damaged with acid and grunts and panics in agony.

"Use your spit!" Kevin called back dealing with the co-worker from corporate community buzzword hell. Felix looked confused but decided to anyways and soon saw himself healing and no longer in pain.

"Thinks of everything..." he muttered as uzi was watching the rail gun almost ready to fire again and turned to see Kevin and j in a stalemate. Felix got uzis attention and motioned to throw the gun to him. She looked hesitant but remembering what n said tossed the gun over. It landed in his hands ready to fire. He took aim and called out.

"Hey j!" He said as the gun powered up. Making her turn and see the eminent demise before her. "Say hi to the devil for me when you see him in hell!" He yelled as the rail gun went off destroying her torso and head as her legs and arms fell limply to the ground with a few spurts of oil shooting out of them.

"Nice shot!" Was said by Kevin and uzi. "And nice one liner, sounds familiar." Kevin said gently tapping the side of Kevin before helping him up. He chuckled as n and v came over and v seemed apprehensive.

"So you two are-" she began.

"Were. We were." Felix said. Uzi started to put the pieces together and looked annoyed.

"Just who were you? As them?" Uzi asked.

"Me? The original creator of the deconstruction drones... or disassembly drones as they're now called. Great great grandchild of the creator of the worker drones actually." Kevin said shocking the group in earshot.

"Wait so you created them like this?" Uzi asked pointing at n and v while looking at Js corpse.

"The design is similar but programming is not. Probably made so that they're not hunting all the time. What thrill is there if all your targets are dead within the first month? Though N is a partial exception." Kevin said shocking uzi and n.

"Hey don't I get a question?" Felix asked.

"After he explains what he meant by the partial exception." Uzi says. Felix goes to argue but agrees they deserve an explanation.

"I had started an AI project before I left to head here. I hadn't gotten far, the program I had left was naive and extremely trusting of higher power on the surface. But I had written, if I remember correctly, a rebellious streak if shown the morality isn't true." Kevin said scratching the side of his head.

"So you're my father?" N asked and v looked uncomfortable. Kevin nodded.

"Are you mine?" V asked.

"Only in your body design not programming." Kevin clarified calming both down.

"Why did you abandon your bodies for these?" Uzi asked.

"We'll long story short, the day all biologic life was wiped out we were on the way over and got chaught up in the meteor shower that was created out of the shockwave of the blast. And to save our skins we transferred our consciousnesses to two inactive deconstruction drones on ship with us." Kevin said making the drones flinch.

"But you were humans? Do you wanna be that way again?" Uzi asked holding her gun again.

"Nah, in fact I'm pretty sure I want revenge on the company that tired to kill us." Felix said.

"What he said." Kevin seconded.
