SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THIS CHAPTER AND THE NEXT
FLORIAN POV
FDL : So - In light of the right granted to me with the acquisition of this planet.... I declare this complex open!
A great shout of joy surrounded me on all sides. I stood at the rostrum on a makeshift platform, surrounded on all sides by drones. Fortunately, the only people standing close to me are those whom I trust enough - despite all these days my... eh, "fanclub" has not disappeared. And that...
...was concerning.
FDL : Ok, dronies ! Open da door !
The gates to the complex swung open, letting a not-so-small-but-not-at-all-large group inside. There was enough room for everyone - you could say it was quite empty. That was about to change.
FDL : Phew, how much work that was.
I jumped off the platform and marched towards the door, where a familiar group of people were already waiting for me.
FDL : It gets harder and harder every day...
RKN : Work ?
FDL : Life.
We both started laughing out loud, which slowly turned into sobbing.
RZM : Even for me it was weak... And I'm stuck in garbage cans !
J & V : Y-you do ?
RZM : I doesn't want to talk about it.
Razumihin, N and Uzi all shivered.
UZI : So... do we go in or ?
FDL : Yes, we deserve a moment of relaxation. Let's go.
By complex, we mean complex. A complex means a collection of many things in one place - so in the above-mentioned "complex" there was a cinema, a couple of bars and restaurants, a couple of game rooms and the most important - a bathhouse. The place was to become a leisure destination, so I spared no expense.
RKN : Sir... were gold-plated doorknobs really necessary....I spared no expense.
FDL : ...No.
RKN : Oh... alright.
I felt guilty.

J POV
V : Wow, this place is amazing !
Said V, standing on the railing and looking at the expansive views below us. Me and V were slightly behind the rest of the group. N was walking along with them.... no surprise, he had joined them much earlier than we had. Even though I already work for him and am ready for anything, I still feel a little guilty... and yet I haven't done anything lately. Maybe it's...
V : J, are you still listening to me ?
J : Aah ! Yes, of course ! C... did you say something ?
V : Eh, nothing important...
Most of the complex is underground, so an above-ground entrance leads to a sort of observation deck. Below us we could see a sparse, but still, movement.
J : Hm...
V : Something wrong ?
J : N-nothing.
V narrowed her eyes, looking at me.
V : Rrrright. Listen J - I know before I was a bit of a crazy drone killing everything it encountered but I've changed. Plus, I'm under your command ! Plus plus - I am a woman drone, too ! You can tell me what's on your mind! Despite my altered circuits, I still have a good chance of understanding you... Propably.
My display screen have shown on a slight blush.
J : A-alright. A... so there is one such boy....
V : You have a crush on our boss, right ?
I covered V's mouth with my hand and looked towards the group moving away. They hadn't heard. Phew...
V forcefully took my hand away from her mouth.
V : Oh... That bad! Wow, when did you've become so hopeless ?
I lowered my head. V patted me on the shoulder.
V : Oh, don't be sad ! You know what - I'll help you !
J : Huh ?
I raised my head.
J : Help me with what exactly ?
V : With winning his heart, of course !
J : ...
I sped up my stride and rushed towards the main group.
J : No, thank you !
V : J, wai- and she's gone.
V shook her head.
V : I'll help you with it, J. No matter if you'd like it or not. No pressure tho.
V casually joined the group, heading towards the bathhouse.

Ten minutes later
FLORIAN POV
FDL : And this is life...
I sat in a huge tank of steaming, azure water. Apparently all the filtration had given it such an intense color. I relaxed and rested my elbows on the edge of the pool.
FDL : It's so pleasant that it seems like a fever dream.... eh...
I will definitely be coming here more often.
RZM : Agreed...
The four of us were relaxing in the same, HUGE tank built like Japanese baths. Or Roman - I'm not too familiar with bathhouses.
N : I must say - this place is great !
RKN : Further proof that you made the right decision, N.
Even Rodia was somehow calmer. He even lowered his "serious soldier" mask. It's about time. If I think about it... never mind.
FDL : May this time last forever...
??? : I agree...
The four of us turned our heads towards the new drone that appeared out of nowhere in the pool with us.
Razumihin was stopping Razkolnikov from going into combat mode. N was... spooked.
??? : Wowowow... chill...
FDL : Emm... Who are you?
THD : I'm Thadin, but you guys can call me Thad.
FDL : ...
I looked around.
FDL : How did you get here ?
THD : ...I've been with you from the very beginning...
FDL : Oh...
For some reason I felt guilty.

At the same time.
J POV
I sat in the water up to my neck and relaxed in this non-holiday way. This water really works well on the systems... At least, that's what I think. I feel sleepy somehow... But I guess that's natural.
V : Hm, it was worth it.
J : Hm ?
I turned my head towards V.
V : To join them. It was worth it.
I smiled slightly.
V : So... Do you want to sneak a peak of then for a bit ?
J : V !
V : Relax... I was just jokin'. Other than that - it's not really possible.
V pointed at the wall separating the women's and men's sections. It was a solid metal wall without any holes.
V : You can at most eavesdrop. Oh, or we could...
J : S-shut up, ok ?
V : Ok, geez...
Uzi : And I thought I was the degenerate one....
Uzi said, sitting a little further away.

Hey guys !
Slightly shorter chapter a'la an addition between part 1 and 2.
I'll try to plan the next part more - as well as write down the main traits of all the characters so I don't have to keep going back to previous chapters for information I forgot. It's not a problem
now... but in the future?
That would be a chore.
Anyway, thanks for reading this not-so-important chapter in the larger context, and well - enjoy this spring moment ! Easter is coming soon !
