I yawn and woke up, drones need sleep. I looked up to see J just looking at me. "AH!" I yelled and rolled off the ship. I broke my back, well not really but it still hurts. "J! WHAT WAS THAT FOR? YOU GAVE ME A JUMPSCARE!" I shouted. "Hey, I was just looking and observing you. Scaredy-cat." She replies.

"Oh yeah, my other teammates got back." She noted. I stood up still a bit embarrassed on what happened earlier. But I walked with into the pod  and looked around to find two more drones, one female and one male. The female one gave me a glare while the male waved and smiled at me. I waved back, and we fist bumped like bros. "The girl is V, and That's N." J says. "N is a freaking useless person in his job, he can't get himself to kill and is always being nice." J whispers to me.

Poor N, he looked like a pretty nice guy. If he was mean, I don't know what I'd do in a group of mean people

"Who's this guy J?" Asked V curiously and more like curious to kill me.

"Someone I found and can prove more useful than N." Ouch... N must have felt that.

"How do we know he won't betray us? Why not kill him like the other drones? It's unlikely of you J." V states, suspicious.

"He's not like the Workers, I'm sure we can trust him, he saved me, even so. He just has a sword. If he tries to backstab us we can just kill him. But he can prove useful with his ability to fix and build, engineering skills. He could possibly get us through the bunker door." J argues.

Wow, someone like J arguing to protect me. I was almost sure it was just for my usefulness and not for me, but It still felt good. It felt like people trusted me like A. "Wait a minute, what bunker door?" I asked curiously. 

"Well, we are drones that do genocide, and our job is to get into the bunker doors that contain the hiding Worker Drones and kill them off." Explains N.

"Kill? Really? Why? Why do we need to kill them?" I asked.

"Well, they are runaway drones." says N. "And why did they run away?" I asked again.

"Oh, it's because how the company treated them. And because all humans on this planet died due to a malfunctioned planet core." N states.

"So why are we killing drones that have the same feelings as us, and just want their own free will? I asked again, trying to make a point.

"ENOUGH WITH THE QUESTIONS!" Yelled V. "WE DO OUR WORK, WE GO BACK! Easy done" V says before continuing to blow bubbles, which seemed to calm her down.

I sigh, "So where is this bunker? Show me. And I'll figure out a way to get inside if I can. Not that I have a choice...." I stopped. I really didn't have a choice. I signed an agreement to live and if I don't follow the orders, I'll die. I just need to stay cool, and follow.

"Good you wanna see the bunker? Follow me then. I'll make sure you don't make any trouble." Says J. Oh brother this girl, I can handle myself! But I followed her anyways.

She summon her wings again and told me to hold on. I held on to her back and we started flying. "I've never flown so high before! It's kind of scary!" I say worried of letting go.

"Jeez, stop being a scaredy-cat or you will be as useless as N." J complained. I blushed a little, a bit embarrassed of what I'm doing. We soared through the wind before landing right in front of a big, mechanical metal door. To be honest, flying would have been more fun if it wasn't a killer controlling the movements and flying at full speed for you. "My head's dizzy..." I said.

I looked up to see the door, humongous hexagon shaped metal door with thick steel and iron protection. I'm impressed, they really did everything they could to keep the killers out. Made me feel worse having to break in.

"So is there some kind of panel?" I asked J.

"Well yes, but it only works with a key card. We didn't break the panel because maybe a drone with a card comes out and we can steal it from him. Trying to budge the door open is a dumb strategy, Because it won't budge! It's sealed tight."

J answers. I inspect the doors in amazement. It was so high tech. But I had to find a way to open it. "Oh yeah, you. What's your name?" J asked.

"U, Well that's what I can remember people calling me in my memories." I answered. "Well U, If you try to backstab us I will kill you myself, understand? And those memories of yours, I want to know more since I can't recall anything as well. Not that I care about you." She states.

"Yes ma'am." I say trembling a bit.

Dealing with J was a lot of work, and she's always the same. Not really different. But she looks like she's changing her attitude every time I lecture her. Although she gets mad at me for lecturing her, but she seems to listen.

"I have an idea on how to get in, but it will take me a few days." I noted. "It's ok, I've been waiting weeks, maybe even a whole month for the door to open till you came along. So let's get back and get to work." We started to fly again in the air.

I need to get myself some pair of wings one day. As we soar, J started to fly at full speed and did loops. "J SLOW DOWN!" I shouted scared for my life, hanging onto her. J doesn't listen and flew even faster while laughing on how scared I was, and when we landed back with V and N I promised myself not to go flying with J again. "I will never ever fly with you ever again." I said. J just rolls her eyes.

I met back with the others and told them my plan to make some hacking device to hack into the bunker doors. It was my best plan since I was good with technology, so metal with metal.

It would take at least a week to finish it, and I started searching for scrap with N and V. J just sat back at the pod, and it wasn't easy to convince V to follow us, until I said we might make the process faster and she could eat more workers, and that did the trick.
