Part 54-56: FREEDOM!, Panic!, A Wild Tenn Appeared

Part 54: FREEDOM!

-~around a day later~-
TN: you know, if you know about my tunnels, why dont you fill them???
NB001: I don't have time for this. I'm **busy.**
TN: awwwww... you cant make any time for little old me...
NB001: Back off.
I should have you recycled.
TN: recycle this recycle that! What do you even mean by recycle!
NB001: So you want to find out, do you?
Tell me, 1010
TN: i mean... i guess so?
NB001: Will you quit bugging me if I do?
TN: yeah sure
NB001: Then follow me.
— 001 leads Tenn out of the daycare, heading into a set of doors until they reach a shoddily taken care of hallway with the sound of grinding being emitted from a large set of doors —
TN: (scared but hiding it poorly) whwhwhwat is this place....
NB001: (he pushed open the set of doors to reveal a large, intricate machine) This, this is the Recycler.
Is your question answered?"
TN: uhhhhh...
H-h-h-how does it work...?
NB001: There is the input. Considering how we have limited material to work with, we must use the defects and start anew with them.
It repurposes their material for later cloning and various other uses.
TN: it this even legal???
NB001: ......
Quiet, or you'll get to experience it first hand
The only reason why I haven't recycled you is because sometimes the defects spread across batches. One infected unit that has been recycled can infect a whole batch.
TN: then let me be free
im not going to stop *defecting* until you let me be free, or recycle me and ruin a bunch of clones
NB001: Freedom? You really think I can just hand that out?
TN: i mean... Dave is free... i think...
NB001: 1025 escaped. He's caused the death of 003 and quite a lot of drama here. He should be here, properly re-educated and ready to join the workforce.
TN: i bet at this point, he has been gone for so long he turned into a human!
NB001: oh no.
Ohhh no.
(He rushes out of the room, leaving Tenn alone. Sirens start blaring soon after.)
TN: whats going on....
-~ the building is filled with flashing red lights and the blaring of alarms. On the loudspeakers the message "code red: complete defection" is repeated over and over. All the nasaballs are in a panic, running aimlessly in fear around the building. All the doors become locked, to prevent any escapees. ~-
TN: ah! Perfect time to escape!! No one will notice in this mess! (She sprints to nearest tunnel if her's and pulls her way threw the tunnels to the outside world)
NB001: (while tenn escapes he's busy trying to calm everyone down)
— Soon Tenn is greeted with the outside world —
TN: freedom!!! Now... where to...
(Runs of down to the city, and finds herself in a pizza shop)
PM: Howdy
TN: hi...
Im new around here... any erm, advise?
PM: how new exactly
TN: uhhh... 30 minutes....
PM: just got here?
TN: yup
PM: Okay, you're obviously onna dem Nasalings or whatever. Clearly you've just escaped. First thing you wanna do is get far away. They're gonna come after you, yknow. Leave no track behind you. Make sure there is no trace whatsoever. Next, forge a new identity for yourself. It's gonna take a while for the NASA influence to wear off, but when it does, become someone else. Change your name. Get a new job. But hey, I'm just a talking pizza on a countertop.
TN: hrnnng.... okay....
PM: (silence)
TN: ...
(Grabs a single slice of the pizza and runs of into the city)
(wanders around the city for about an hour)
(wonders under a bypass, noticing a small set up of boxes and used cans of sardines piled around it)
huh, reminds me of that teal one i met, she had a little sardine can on her face...

Part 55: Panic!

-~somewhere across the city~-
(driving to the hospital)
(checking his phone)
(Sees 12 missed calls from hustun)
geez what could he want...
(opens each one, every one is more desperate and insane than the last. One of them is just him crying)
sheeesh...
(Dials his number and waits for him to answer)
(he doesn't answer)
gosh, whatever...
(Drives to work in anger and annoyance)
— meanwhile, with hustun —
NB001: (trying to explain something to him)
AB: (not listening whatsoever, staring blankly at a wall)
NB001: Sir? Sir? Are you listening?
AB: Wha- oh, yeah. Sure.
NB001: Sir, this is very dire. We've just gotten reports of a second escape, and we're still recovering from the loss of two units.
AB: What does this have to do with me??
NB001: Sir, you're the one in charge of most operations. I need your approval on what to do.
AB: Whatever. Do what you need to do, I don't care.
NB001: Whatever you say, sir.
(he leaves the room leaving hustun alone)
AB: (He takes out his phone, dialing the doctor)
(None of his calls are answered and he leaves multiple voicemails)
— meanwhile —
NB001: Attention all units. We are proceeding with full lockdown. Anyone from outside the building will not be allowed out, the same goes from inside. You may have already heard of the complete defection, but yet another defect has escaped. Please remain calm, all will be fine. A team is already securing the building, and soon, the defects will be captured and secured.
Nasaballs: (Theyre STILL panicking)
NB001: .....
Nasaballs: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIEEEEE
