Uzi's arm had healed up quickly even faster than when she was bitten. Maybe that has something to do with N's support well she would repay him later, her main objective was making up lost time all that rest prevented her from working on the pod her passion project.

She went through her book looking at the pod to see what she needed to do to fix it after skimming through the pages what she found made her angry.

...........................

N had been hanging from the rafters the voice in his head started to become less hostile towards him and Uzi sounded rather fond of her which shocked him. What shocked him, even more, is how he woke up one night and almost bit Uzi's bad arm to protect her he decided some time upside down would help him think which the voice was displeased with.

That made him even more confident in his decision still he missed Uzi's presence she was like a giant snuggly ice pillow and she seemed to make the nightmares stop.

Even as he was having another nightmare about something J did to him for failing a mission he was awoken by a loud noise "Son of a Cunt!" The words shocked N so much that he almost fell head first on the ground luckily though he was able to make the landing.

He could've sworn the whole factory had been shaken maybe even the Spire itself, passing the conveyor belts and carefully avoiding some of the worker drone arms scattered on the ground. In the bedroom, Uzi was looking over the book he gave her, and notes were pinned to the wall some about the pod and some about the anatomy of disassembly drones.

All the while cursing both aloud and under her breath, this brought back many memories for N of his teammates though their outbursts were more...destructive. Whether it was failing to get a promotion, having a low body count, or just letting a Worker Drone get away.

It wasn't uncommon for N to have to de-stress J and V since they were easily frustrated and stressed.

And according to J, it was probably the only thing he ever did right on the team. It was one of the only times she ever complimented him and didn't end it with a rude comeback. And, sometimes when she was in a good mood, V would return the favor. He carefully saved and stored all of those moments in his memory banks, finding them to be the most memorable.

And seeing Uzi angry after working so hard set off a similar reaction in N. It was so overwhelming, in fact, that he had moved without realizing it until he stood beside the smaller drone, trailing a hand up her back to the top of her shoulder.

At first, she flinched at the unexpected touch, but relaxed when she turned around and saw N. "Oh hey N..." She started trailing off thinking of how to explain her outburst. Her screen flashed a bright purple light when she realized how silly she the reason was. "Um, I didn't wake you... did I?"

"Wellll yeah. But it's ok." He'd quickly reassurance her closing the small gap between them till he was almost directly behind her, bringing his other hand up till both hands were on her shoulders. After all, setting the mode was crucial in these kinds of situations.

"So what happened?"

The question got her tensed up again, her anger boiling up again. "It's this stupid book. I swear it has answers to everything the pod, getting you guys better-cooling systems, upgrades yet every time I get close to answer I'm presented with blank or incomplete pages and puzzles that make no damn sense!" She crossed her arms as N retreated his hands back.

That was only for a moment and he wrapped his arms around her pulling her into a hug she pouted still upset as he nuzzled the top of her head 'Cute' he thought.
