Sleep Deprivation

Edited ✔️

N yawned as he landed from his sleeping rod. It was yet another sleepless night? day? what ever it was, whatever he was thinking about the night before he couldn't tell you. It was mostly games that he had gotten from Uzi, and funny cat videos he had from when he was younger. Rare memories flashed about his mind that night. Mostly about his little sister, CYN. He missed her but he didn't know what happened or where she had run off to, last he remembers of her was after he was sent to be eaten by those crows.

He shivered, N still hated the thought of that. Ha walked out to the main section of the pod to see Uzi passed out on her paper work. Around her where all small connections for her new and improved rail gun. She was getting far with this, it was nearly half way done. The only reasons it's this far is because she basically deprives her self if sleep to work. N lifted her up gently careful not to wake her. He brought her to the extra room she had set up for herself that contained a bed, wardrobe, desk for school work, and a decorative carpet. N set her down on the bed before leaving.

Since he was the first up, he decided to go out and hunt for the four of them. N walked to the door and it opened with a hiss before he jumped out into he deep snow. He extended his wings and took off quickly. Once he was back, everyone else was up and walking around doing the things they needed for the day. "Morning everyone!" N said his voice cheerful yet he sounded tired, jot just tired but exhausted. Uzi was one to not let this slip by her.

The two women turned towards N. "Are you alright? You sound exhausted," Uzi brought up worry in her voice. "Yeah, just didn't sleep well is all," N explained as J walked out of the sleeping quarters. Her and Uzi where on good terms, not friends but they won't try and kill each other every five seconds. V nodded even though she seemed to not believe his explanation. Uzi spotted the dripping oil from his hands and a 'High Temp' warning flashed about her screen.

J and V took notice of this as they decided it was time to eat, so Uzi wouldn't go on a rampage and murder them all, even though it wouldn't do much as they can regenerate. After their breakfast Uzi and N decided to head out and find spare parts for her gun. J and V where going to help out with the colony, get what they needed, help with some grand scale stuff, nothing of to much work. Once the sun began to rise they all met back up at the pod. N and Uzi had quite a large haul, it was predicted by V and J, and the two female disassembly drones where covered with oil and what seemed to be gasoline and glass.

Uzi laid down her findings followed by N as she turned to the two drones. "You two need to get watched up, then go rest, N go get some sleep, you need it," Uzi said and V glared heavily at her. "Your not my mother." She said sounding irritated and Uzi nodded, it was understandable. She was in fact not her mother but she did want to two to get cleaned up so she could just clean the damn floors! J gave a sigh, "Come on let's just get it over with," she said and drug V along.

N looked at Uzi, "Hey Uzi?" He asked bringing the attention to him. "Yeah?" She asked grabbing the equipment to start mopping the oil off the floors. "What happens when a person can't sleep no matter how hard they try?" He asked sheepishly. Uzi looked up at him and began to think coming up with an answer quickly. "Well they're usually what humans call 'Insomniatic' meaning they can't sleep," Uzi explained. N nodded in understanding. "Why do you want to know?" She asked and N shook his head as he tried to think of an excuse.

He brought a hand up to scratch the back of his head, "N-No reason, just saw I-It in one of the shows you s-showed me!" N said finding it hard not to stutter when he lies. Uzi let out a hum, N took a sigh of relief knowing that it worked. "I'ma get ready for bed now," N said as he walked away. Uzi sat down and began to work on her rain gun, throwing the parts she didn't need into a discard pile.

The two female disassembly drones walked into the sleeping quarters. Uzi kept working on her gun even as the sun rose to it's highest point shining a bright yellow glow on the snow that made it shimmer and sparkle with a orange-yellow glow. At some point in the day, N found himself unable to sleep so he went out to grab a cup of oil. Uzi was still awake working on her rail gun though she was barely running properly, she was falling asleep and jerking her head up again just to continue.

N sighed and lifted her up bringing her to her room. "N?" She mumbled in her half asleep state. "Sleep, Uzi," N said and Uzi nuzzled into her pillow. "Thanks, N," Uzi said then she was out. N smiled and walked out into the main compartment. He grabbed his cup and filled it with some of the oil from a dead drone that no one ate. He sat in the captains chair and spun around sleep tugging at him, but he knows that he won't be able to sleep.

N gave in a closed his eyes, his thoughts began to buzz louder and louder until he opened his eyes once again. He needed to get this under control, at this rate his body will start to deteriorate, if it hasn't already, and it's starting to affect his hunting and thinking, along with his reaction times. N then opened up a screen across his visor and added another mark to the many that clouded the small white space that was on his visor. He counted all the marks and found that he spent 18 days with out sleep he's surprised he hasn't started to hallucinate yet.

N rested his head wanting to sleep. The day fell away leading into the night, N knew he couldn't sleep and he couldn't try to now. Uzi was the first one out as she sat in the seat next to him. A few minutes passed and V walked out of the sleeping quarters running the sleep from her digital eyes. After an hour passes J walked out and stretched. She groaned, "I only get 9 hours of sleep," she complained.

Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Nine? I get seven!" V said and J looked surprised. "Really only seven?" She asked and V nodded. "At least y'all are getting more then four!" Uzi shouted suddenly. The two female disassembly drones looked over to her in surprise. "I thought y'all go to bed at a certain time every night!" J said and Uzi shook her head.

Uzi sighed, "Managed to break that long ago," she explained. N yawned and the words slipped out before he could stop them. "At least you guys are getting more then a few minutes of sleep," he mumbled and everyone's eyes hollowed out. "N, are you okay?" J asked. N nodded rubbing his eyes. "Yeah I'm fine," he said with a smile. Uzi shook her head, "No, your coming with me," she said.

N was taken by surprise as he was pulled up and into Uzis room. J and V exchanged a look and they both nodded, deciding to let this go, maybe she can help him. "Lay down," Uzi instructed and N did as he was told. "I don't understand what we-" he was cut off by Uzi laying next to him. "Uzi, what are you doing?" He asked and looked down to her. Uzi sighed, "Helping," she said simply. N turned to his side and held Uzi close.

Uzi also turned around so her back was against Ns stomach. N wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. Uzi held one of his hands as she began to drift off. "Goodnight Uzi," N mumbled as he fell asleep. Soon Uzi was asleep as well. Finally, Ns thoughts where quiet for once allowing him to sleep. Turns out, dreams where not a scary as he once thought. The things he had where nightmares, but the ones shared with Uzi where comfortable and calm. He liked this more then before.
