Worker!Drone x V

Lontano

(Well...yeah, I'm just bored now. Also, you have to watch a really specific horror movie to get the title. Props if you did get it though.)

Absolutely nothing happened. Nope, not at all. Not an off-screen chase or anything.

"You know, this looks a lot like the mansion from JoJ-" You quickly covered Uzi's mouth as you snuck around a corner.

"Do you know who also likes references? People who bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy. Professionals have standards."

"Okay, I feel like you're referencing something, and I don't get it, and that's not fair." Uzi grumbled, looking away from you.

You got back on track, hiding behind the curve of the staircase, N and Uzi following suit. The mansion seemed to be larger than you calculated it would be...perhaps the Absolute Solver had used its program altering to edit the memory...from what you had seen of its abilities, editing a memory wasn't out of the question. Of course...it seems to be taking its time deleting it...perhaps there was something preventing the memory's immediate deletion/absorption.

"N, you had stated that assistance would be required to complete the task of obtaining the key."

"Yeah, Tessa always knows what to do." N whispered, as you snuck up the stairs to the top floor.

Tessa...your data banks had no information regarding this...Tessa...but now was a better time than any to learn more about JC Jenson as a company, and potential weaknesses to exploit. Especially if this 'Tessa' was an important member of the company...ransom was certainly a viable option, then...

The glass windows flashed with lightning, lighting up the wallpaper patterns as you kneeled down, creeping across the red carpet floor. Thunder crashed again as you snuck behind the wooden railing of the top floor, as humans socialised at the party on the bottom floor. You didn't bother to take a look, focused on watching out for the...hybrid of drone and flesh...

Wait, what were you saying again?

"Psst, Tessa!" N half-whispered, gesturing for her to come over. The one known as Tessa stood there, a revolver in her hand. J stood next to her, a sword in her hands. You stood up, dusting your knees off almost casually.

"Hello, J." You greeted her unenthusiastically.

"And...that is not what a human looks like." Tessa should be ingrained enough that N could get a good image...was the company actively redacting the presence of humans in memories? But if they had that much control, they should be capable of deleting memories easily...

"I require the basement key." You said, as lightning illuminates one half of your face in a flash. The pitter-patter of rain seemed to grow louder on the window. "Your cooperation would be appreciated."

A slight sound of claws being unsheathed reached your audio receptors, before you stepped out of the way of V crashing down to knock you off balance. It failed, as you had gotten used to the Murder Drones trying this already...

You turned around, moving your head out of the way of V's claw slicing your head in half, stepping back to narrowly dodge a lunge. You ducked under another swing, getting a good look at V's fleshy wings, skin being stretched unnaturally to meet the bone structure of the wings.

"Do your basement thing! We got the coma patient you creeped on!" J yelled, trading blades with the possessed V.

N complied, running to the basement with Uzi in tow, as the two held off the Absolute Solver.
