Hi my name is Mark Enson. I am a worker drone. If you already read the description, I hope, I won't have to explain what we are. In case you didn't here's the lay down. We worker drones were originally made on the planet called Copper-9. It was inhabitated by humans to harvest the resources on it and send those materials to their home planet Earth. One day an accident occurred that caused all organic life to stop existing.

After a few couple years later the drones had gained sentience which meant the drones were able to develop beyond the programming. They developed emotions and the ability to learn.

While this was great for the drones it would be the cause of their worst problem. When their parent company Jc Jenson in space found out about it they believed the drones would have rebelled against them. So they made a solution. Murder drones. Jc Jenson sent drones made for killing us.

I'm fairly certain that's enough exposition. Currently I'm in class watching Uzi presenting her railgun. Originally she was called up to answer a question about watermelons, but she decided to go on a rant about how we should be defending ourselves instead of hiding. I always felt conflicted about her ideas. I have been outside before in secret exploring, but there was nothing worth taking. Every night I would leave the walls and head outside and explore the place.

I had a few encounters with the murder drones. There was always one that peaked my interest. A male murder drone, N. I have met him a few times before. We made a truce between each other. It was a simple one, he spares me I help him gather oil as for him to not to drink me dry. I also collect oil for myself for some reason. I don't know what it is but something about him makes me feel like I known him from somewhere.

I'm planning to head out again after school. As Uzi was finishing up her presentation she decided to use her railgun. My eyes widen as I prepare to take cover. A few seconds later and I heard an explosion. I peek over my cover and I see that every was covered in soot. After the mess was cleaned up I decided to meet Uzi in the medbay.

Mark: On the bright side. That's less soot than last time.

I said making my entrance.

Uzi: It just needs one last piece. An energy core.

Mark: I don't think there's one powerful enough in the colony to power your railgun

Uzi: I know.

Mark: Well, I hope you somehow find it.

Timeskip

It's currently night. Aka everyone's sleep cycle. I get up and grab a few things. I grab my railgun and coat before you ask. No, I made my own railgun. I just used Uzi's idea as an inspiration.

I walk out of my room and head towards the utility section of the colony. Long ago we used the utility room to store spare resources but after a while there was no use for it.
