The sound of a computer powering up turned on to show a video feed of someone's project as the person by the sound of the voice is around 17 or so narrated the video as it started by showing a lot of robots known as Worker Drones.

"We are Worker Drones. Autonomous robots helping humans mine exo-planets for our interstellar parent company, JCJenson IN SPAAAAACE! Yeah, we were mistreated in the name of Windex. But it's not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything, mostly because they handled that just fine all by themselves." 

The video changed to the planet's core having alarms and causing a good part of Copper 9 to blow up. On the planet, a Worker Drone got up from under the pile of snow and noticed a frozen skeleton of a human. It touched it which caused it to fall and shatter while another drone gave a thumbs up.

"With biological life wiped from the planet, we found it pretty easy to pick up where they left off. We finally had a future, all to ourselves."

The Worker Drones were all picking up where the humans had left, more like killing themselves off, as they were starting families of their own and all were happy with their lives but all happy things always have a dark side and happiness can be easily destroyed.

"Unfortunately, our parent company didn't exactly love the concept of runaway AI."

A pod can be seen being sent to the planet and crash landed on the planet. A group of drones walked up to it cautiously only for the hatch to open up and three X optics came on and three figures flew out of the pod. These three were known as Disassembly Drones and were sent by the company who created the Worker Drones.

One of them had bladed fingers and took off the head of one of the drones and dropped the head in front of the now terrified drones. One of them let out a maniacal laughter and the three started to destroy the city with the other drones who all tried to run and find safety.

That was in the past and in a class presentation, a classroom which consisted of several young drones watched with interest or boredom while the teacher had a bored look as the drone who was narrating the video was seen. The drone is a colored purple with some dark clothes on with purple optical eyes on the visor and a beanie. 

"But what have our parents done for the past forever while those things build a spire of corpses?! Hide under the ice behind three stupid doors?! It's like we're waiting for an inciting incident!" She exclaimed before calming down as a grin appeared.

"Anyway, that's why my project is this sick-as-hell railgun!" She shouted and took out a gun which caused her classmates to panic when she pointed it towards them.

"Oh, so not the vibe!" One of the students shouted in panic which caused her to roll her optical eyes.

"Easy, morons. It doesn't work... yet!" She said but she pointed the gun at them again.

"It doesn't work yet. Who said it doesn't work, maybe it does!" She said and turned it on as electricity sparked from it and she laughed evilly while pointing the end at her classmates.

"Uzi, the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons." The teacher drone, Riley, sighed in disinterest while pointing out the homework.

The crazy little drone, Uzi, gave him a sheepish look.

"Oh, and this magnetically amplified photon converger doesn't count?" She asked, hoping to at least get a grade.

"No. Plus, repressed emotional baggage was only worth two points on the rubric." Riley said before he noticed something was off.

"And is it supposed to be that color?" He asked while pointing to the light.

Uzi looked at her railgun which turned red and overloaded and caused an explosion in the classroom.
