Third person:

"We got to curb her trips to the dump." A male voice said. Thunder sounds and lighting flashes revealing N in a suit holding a try with empty glasses on it. "And where is she getting the hair to play dress-up with them? Creepy..." the male said, clouded in shadows. He tossed his glass onto the tray N was holding. N walked off with the tray doing a little trick with the glasses, having them land in a perfect pyramid. N walked passed by a big window. He looked out the window for a second, watching the rain fall with thunder and lighting going off every couple of seconds. N walked around the corner not paying attention to where he was going. N bumped into V who was wearing glasses along with a maid outfit. "OH! I'm so sorry!" N panicked, hurring to pick up the glasses from the tray. "I-It's okay! I wasn't looking." V stuttered, going to help N in picking up the glasses. They both go to pick up a glass. When their hands touch a spark emits. Both back up a little and blush. N goes to speak but gets kicked in the side by J. "Move it, moro- (Suddenly turns cutesy and polite) Hi, Tessa! ...Oh, no. Another one?" J asked. A girl named Tessa, like the adults was clouded in shadows, stood there. A new drone peaked out from behind the girl.

Ash Pov:

I hear a crash from outside. "Looks like N woke up." I say to Uzi. I'm sitting on the console watching Uzi as she holds something in her hand. "N, I found something in here!" Uzi yelled to N. I got up to get a better look at what my sister was holding. I see her looking into the mirror on the ship with some of her hair off to the side. A strange symbol took the place of her right eye for a second. In that second tho, the symbol cracked the glass. I jumped at the sight of the mirror, then I looked at myself only to see my left eye is magenta. After rubbing my eye I looked again and saw it was back to being brown, panicking at what I saw. "That's weird and concerning." V said, turning to face us. "Bite me! This is probably you weirdo's fault!" Uzi retorted back. "I've never seen that symbol before or seen a human eye change color. Wanna do an autopsy to find out?" V asked, a deranged look fell upon her face. "What'cha you find?" N asked. Uzi slapped the thing she was holding onto N hat, revealing it to be a pilot's hat. "Did you know that was a pilot hat?" Uzi asked him, kicking the set from under her feet before I could. "I was the pilot? That's awesome! I crashed and ruined everything... Spaceship Pilot: Origin Story." N said, pointing at V. She hissed at him for a second, then went back to blowing bubbles. "...Speaking of piloting to Earth, we sure "murder all humans" is, uh, morality?" N questioned Uzi. "The humans sent you without a communication relay and reformatted your memories to soup." Uzi said, closing the panel she was fixing. "Covering their tracks means their past negotiating. Not like tried negotiating with Ash and I's mom..." Uzi states "Uhh, Uzi? Do I have to keep reminding you that I'm human too?" I asked. "You're mutated." Uzi retorts. "Still human." I mumble. "Or you missed the negotiations! The humans programmed us to solve a problem. Where's proof of your backstory? The one where your kind's so conveniently innocent?" V questions Uzi, lunging at her. Thankfully the chain we put around her neck stopped her. N gently pulled Uzi out of the way, not wanting another fight to break out. "J was getting orders from someone. If not the company through that relay, then, uh, who? And how?" N asked Uzi. "Quit complicating my murder plan." Uzi pouts. N pattes Uzi's head wanting to comfort her, but she slapped his hand away.

Third person:

Back at Uzi's colony, two drones are staring at the large hole that N made in the roof. "Yeah, just fix her up because, whoops, pretty big security risk in hindsight. Uh, you got this, uh, Ladderbot 5000." A drone named Tim said. The drone's real name was Frank. "Ugh... Please, just leave the lights-"Frank said, just as the lights went off. Frank digs his flashlight out and tries to think of a way to get up there when he hears a clattering sound. He looks around in fear and suspicion when he notices something... fleshy. He goes to investigate, only for a strange spider-like heart device to reveal itself. His flashlight gets shot out of his hand as The Absolute Solver turns the colors of the room yellow and red before finally dispatching him.
