AW FUCK LIFE IS GETTING SHITTY AND I FORGOT ABOUT YALL. SORRY TwT. I've doing a lot recently sorry.

U landed in front of the colony doors and set Nexten down. She had the Dissasembly satchel  tied around her, something Nexten explicitly said they still needed, Luckily it wasn't stolen or picked for pieces, the body was in mint condition (besides the fucked internals in the head) and the mug she snuck in it. She was hurrying to get the doors open as she saw Nexten hold his still healing wounds, the cold air seemingly making the pain worse.

"Here's the keycard." Nexten pulled his card out of his pocket and gave it to U who slammed at the door panel who read the card and displayed.

"Keycard authorized...

Next time be gentle asshole, I can feel pain you know."

U bared teeth and an X on her visor towards the keycard holder

"NEVERMIND, right this way ma'am."

The first door began opening seamlessly and completely silent too, something that caught Nexten by surprise. "HUH, mom finally got rid of the loud noise. Thank God, I really didn't need more noise to bother me." U didn't remember the door making noise but she also was only like a week long member. Well now wasn't the time. She picked Nexten back up and brought him inside, passing the worker playing Rummy, Nexten giving a friendly wave as the workers look at Nexten in worry.

"So where now Nex"

"Nex?"

"What about Nex?"

"Is that my nickname now?

"I mean we're close enough for nicknames, or at least I'd hope after I saved you." U's tail wagged a little as a smug smile grew on her face "You prefer I call you honey or sugar?" Nexten looked away towards another cluster of workers giggling to themselves, his face growing brighter as he heard them whisper "honey".

"No, Nex is fine."

"Ok, little Nexy."

"Your barely taller than me."

"Ok little Nexy, whatever you say."

"I hate you."

"Love you too."

They took a while and some poor navigating from Nexten but they made their way to a repair facility. Nexten filled out the necessary papers and sat down, meanwhile asking U to find Jade and report to her with the metal and how he was doing. U reluctantly complied, rather wishing to stay but Nexten insisted it was important for Jade to know.

U took sometime working through the twisted halls of the colony's housing complex, noticing the oddly calmer actions of the workers, where before there eyes would hollow in shock and fear, now they'd an have unchanging expression or dare say it, good expressions which was somehow more unnerving. Especially when a sicko whistled in her direction, luckily a quick clawed threat did the trick, the sicko quickly falling back and running away.

 Eventually she made it to Jade's room and opened the door. U noticed the rather busy insides, papers stacked, wrenches of different sizes littered on her desk alongside rags and maintenance tools for what she could only assume was the doors. Though amongst the mess there was a clean spot, filled with a single picture frame of Jade holding a green pill baby alongside Sam, his portion being slightly damaged and torn. She saved the picture to her memory.

"Another baby Nex, at this point I'll have a collection."

"Nex?" A familiar voice came from behind her, along the sound someone lunging. U switched to claws and grabbed a blade. "Surprise! Did you miss me?" K was in Jade's room and attacked U.
