An Unknown Threat?!

Part 9

A, B and Artist no. 657 had finally gotten a good distance away from the Colony and the Spire which would help them as being away from them meant they could allow J's squad and the Colony some time to recover from the Prom. Afterall the Disassembly Drones were sure that it wasn't every day that you have a Zombie Drone appear and try to kill everyone.

A was in a mix of concern though it was mostly outweighed by her feeling other things though she couldn't even place what exactly she was feeling. B was not as concerned now that the threat of the Zombie Drone at the Prom was taken care of, granted her low empathy made her really unable to connect to the grief that some of the Workers showed but her favorite student was happy and found a fitting girl to like. 657 was just happy to be out of the Colony and well away from the subject of doors though she did have a few questions for the two former Higher Ups.

Artist no. 657: So, would it be alright if I asked you two some questions?

A: Sure IPod.

Artist no. 657: Alright so what exactly happened at the Prom? Because you two said a thing I've never heard before.

A: What would that be?

Artist no. 657: Well, what exactly is a Zombie Drone?

A and B stopped and looked at each other and B had her typical stoic expression that looked a bit annoyed at the question while A looked far more interested in answering the question.

A: Sure, it's only fair-

B: You should just mind your own business.

A glared at B which earned the red eyed Drone a questioning look.

B: What?

A: Don't be rude Blair.

B: I'm not being rude Achlys. The Artist doesn't need to hear about it.

Artist no. 657: I'd like to hear about it.

B: Pourquoi me suis-je donné la peine de le faire? (Why did I even bother?)

A: Alright and brace yourself for this okay. Zombie Drones are Solver infected Worker Drones and are very dangerous due to how unpredictable they can be.

Artist no. 657: But why are they called Zombie Drones? Are they undead?

A: Depends on the stage or rather the Solver strain. I'm a bit confused by it and it was originally I's job to keep track of it.

Artist no. 657: Is it contagious like a cold that humans get or is it a computer virus?

A: You'd have to ask I but I'm sure that you're fine IPod. Trust me the one that we saw back there was nothing like the one we faced when we were first deployed.

Artist no. 657: That's slightly concerning.

B: You're safe.

657 nodded as she didn't want to replace the dread of worrying about Disassembly Drones for the dread of worrying about Zombie Drones. Now she wanted to think of something, anything to get her mind off of that topic and looking between the two Disassembly Drones one question came to mind.

Artist no. 657: So, are you two like married?

B: What?

A: What?

657 looked at the two confused as they both looked at her in utter confusion which only made her think that maybe the two didn't know what the term married meant.
