murder drones: Decaying winter

working on a new home

"Thanks for that, Aila."
"I had forgotten how hungry I was." I thank Aila for my food, lying about being hungry.
"Just realised I hadn't thought about this until now, but where and how do you two sleep? this surely isn't a comfortable environment." I ask

"We manage. The better question is how YOU sleep, considering you didn't exactly have shelter"

"ehhhhhhhhhh, next subject, please."
"Hey, I just realised something." I say, in a moment of ultimate realisation

"What?" she asks

"My friend lives in a bunker."
" Can't remember if it has heating or if they would even let us in there, but it's worth a shot..? maby?"

"And you didn't think of telling us this until now?" Aila questions, slightly irritated.
"Sure, we have the ship, but as you said, as high tech as it is, at the end of the day, it's still just a rescue ship it's not comfortable."
"Whatever, how are we going to get there? isn't it toxic outside or something?"

"Yes and no, wana test your reactions to the oxygen, or have you already gone outside?" I question

"I already know what happens, I threw up like 4 times trying o bury those two" she states, pointing her thumb towards the window, showing 2 piles of snow.

"Oh." How had I forgotten? lazarus died. why don't I care more than I do? he was my favourite work partner.

"Do the emergency respirators still work?" I questioned further.

"Nope, even tried new and unused ones. It somehow bypasses them." She states

"That's crazy. I'm going to go check something, I'm thinking the bunker probably has some suits for you two to use. How else would people have lived here?"

"Good point, but don't you like, need some rest or something?" she is genuinely concerned, I can tell.

"Nah, I'm not feeling tired, like at all."
" If you want some rest while I'm out, go get some. It's a pretty long walk. You'll need energy, probably."
"Alright, cya."
I exit the ship and am immediately met with the strong wind on my face. the snow covering my face, melting and falling back off my head.
the storm had gotten slightly worse, but it's manageable.
I wonder if I can do that teleporting thing again?
wouldn't hurt to try..? right?
les try teleport back to the ship to see if Uzi is back from her bootlooping session or whatever.

before doing it, I walk away for a bit, I dont want anything similar to happen again.

I close my eyes and imagine the ship. More specifically, the entrance to the spiral, with the light beeming down from a crack in the ceiling V probably caused. and, eventually, everything goes red again.
I open my eyes, and tadaah, im there. that was surprisingly easy.

I walk towards the ship, enter it, and see Uzi and N both sat down. V is still missing, and neither of them want to approach the hole (probably)

"haloo?" I call out to them, uzi glares at me, and N smiles softly, waving.

didn't take me long to realise something weird has happened to the both of them, uzi is now wearing a large glove on one hand, purple and fluffy. the bottom has some weird vantablack thing. it looks somewhat liquid.

N's wings have had a much more obvious change. they are no longer blades. They are like  some weird angel wings with galaxies in them. You can see more galaxies when you get close. it's quite a strange effect, but it's like the inside of his wings contains a galaxy now.

"explanation?" uzi demands an explanation.

"uhhh, that thing happened with V, There was a bright red flash, and you two were bootlooped with a red and black loading screen?"
