Now in the landing pod, N spat Uzi's now healed hand out of his mouth. He was a bit shocked, but okay with it.
"Sweet, uhhhh... I'm open to new things!" he said, mildly confused.
"Welp, consider me disgusted." Carolynn replied.
"Agreed." O added.
"We are never talking about this." Uzi said sternly.
"Talking about what? Consider it, uhhhm...repressed!" N replied enthusiastically.
"Wait a minute, did you guys mention other members?" Carolynn asked.
"Yeah, there's 2 more. They're away for a bit, but you'll love them! I feel like they'd like you, little ginger one." O spoke.
"Well tell us about them!" Carolynn smiled.
"N, tell the newbies about the girls." O told him.
"Got it! First, there's V."

*CUT TO FLASHBACK.*

V was mauling some poor sausage of a worker drone to death and was being EXTREMELY brutal about it, shoving the victim's robo-guts into his mouth.
"No! Please! Don't feed me my own entrails in front of my family!" the victim cried out but it was too late.
He was mutilated by claws, bullets, blades, you name it!
V laughed like a maniac, relishing in the terror, while O just awkwardly stood there and watched.
"And yet, I still feel nothing!" she exclaimed as 1 of the eyes on her visor twitched.
After V finished her sentence, O began to speak. "So, V... You know, I heard this planet-wide, toxic snowstorm is gonna be SUPER dangerous tonight so-"
Before O could continue his sentence, V interrupted it. "Wait, who said tha- Oh god, who are you?" She replied, disgusted by O's presence before flying off to both get away from him and find more prey.
"Uh, my name's O! Hopefully you remember that in the future, but a whole letter's a lot! Hehe..." He mumbled to the sky, hoping that V would somehow hear him.

*CUT OUT OF FLASHBACK.*

"So, there's obviously a lot of mutual respect there..." N spoke, until getting cut off by O.
"She's N's crush.~ Hehe..."
"O!!!! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT MY CRUSH ON V!!! Please don't tell anyone about that, okay???" N pleaded to Uzi and Carolynn, who just motioned zipping their mouths shut.
"Anyways... Then there's our leader, J!"

*CUT TO ANOTHER FLASHBACK*

"N, you're worthless and terrible," the pigtail-donned drone told him while stepping on his body.
"Thank you..." He choked, taking the insult as a compliment.
"And if the company allowed it, I'D STRAIGHT UP KILL YOU MYSELF!" she finished her sentence, clearly showing no remorse for our favourite pilot.

*CUT OUT OF FLASHBACK*

"J's awesome! She's a bit rude at times, but we're chill!" N happily said.
"Right..." Carolynn replied, trying to play along. "Do you think he's okay mentally?" she whispered to Uzi.
"Definetley seeing some Stockholm Syndrome in there... Nope." Uzi whispered back.
"Hey, lemme give you a tour!" N chimed in. "Outside of the corpse-wall thingy...in here are the buttons!"
While N happily "beep boop"ed while playing with the buttons, Uzi noticed something...
"Wait a minute..."
"Huh?" Everyone else curiously hummed.
"This isn't just a landing pod, it's a spaceship!" Uzi exclaimed.
"And I just noticed something too..." O sighed, his head bulbs now fixed.
"Oh robojesus... You figured it out, didn't you?" Carolynn asked.
"Yeah, you're our prey and our eyes were just buggy..." O murmured.
"Well, why aren't we killing them???" N asked.
"Because... I think I've just made a friend...with the ginger one..." O said.
"My name's Carolynn, if you're wondering." She told O.
"WHAT ABOUT V AND J????" N asked, concerned for O.
"They were abusive anyways... C'mon Carolynn, we're going to your place. N, you and the purple one stay here." O told the squad.
"Okay!"
"Ugh..."
And with that, O and Carolynn left the landing pod, Carolynn climbed on to O's shoulders, O unleashed his wings and the pair took off into the inky skies of Copper 9.
