Author's note : For those who have made requests for oneshots, I am still working on them. I just need a bit to recharge my brain in ideas. So in the meantime, to give you something to chew on here is an idea that had been in my mind for a while.

Finally thanks for Zamasu1226 and HadesLegacy for proofreading this :D

Warning : There might be some grammar errors

"example" (talking)

'example' (thinking)

--Narrator--

"Khan are you even listening to me ?"

Mark yelled, snapping Khan out of his boredom induced daydream. With a sigh, Khan rubbed his digital eyes with two fingers before looking at the ten or so worker on his screen.

"No, I am not Mark."

Uzi's father replied, not even bothering to hide his disinterest.

"Khan Doorman, why won't you listen for once in your damn life ?!

-Because I don't listen to a worker's crazed ramblings after he stuck a magnet on the back of his head for two hours straight. We've lost too many people fighting the murder drones, when are you going to realize that what we need is to starve them out ? Your scouts have discovered they need oil to survive, our oil. Yet you keep sending hunting parties who never come back, all you're doing is feeding them. Your supposed to protect the workers in your colony but all you do is sent them into the gear grinder while trying to convince the other colony leaders to do the same."

Khan said, his irritation clearly audible.

"YOU COWARD, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HELP ME THEN I'LL FORCE YOU TO YOU LITTLE SHIT !"

Mark yelled before disconnecting from the online conference.

"I swear one day he's gonna take hostages so we listen to him"

The older generation worker mumbled to himself.

"Well now that Mark's gone, we can get to actual business. How many scrap rations do you guys still have ?"

Joseph, chief of colony number six asked. Everyone told him that food wasn't an issue.

"Alright great, what about the murder drones ? Did any colony get attacked ?

-Well no one has made any reports about a murder drone attack so I think that none happened yet, but I do have reasons to believe I will be their next target. The security crew have made a report on how they keep seeing footsteps in the snow when watching the cameras. Thankfully we just got done upgrading the defense system so we'll be fine."

Alfred, leader of colony number nine told his fellow workers.

"Well everything seems to be in order, has anyone got any issues they would like to bring up before we end the meeting ?"

Khan asked, the other workers on his screen all shook their heads.

"Then I declare this meeting over, good luck gentlemen."

The white eyed drone said before disconnecting from the video call and closing his laptop.

'I do wonder though, what does he mean by "forcing me to help him" ?'

The worker thought as he walked out of his room and into the livingroom to grab himself a cup of oil.

"Oh hey da- I mean Khan, you look... worried."

Uzi said, clearly disturbed at her father's demeanor. Almost forgetting to be mean to her father, almost.

"Don't worry Uzi, your old man is fine. It's just that Mark has been getting more and more out of hand ever since he started using magnets."
