"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE JUST LEFT US LIKE THAT!" Uzi complains as she holds on to N's back, N is flying towards the colony, Carrying Thad who seems to deeply hate being high up. After Thad returned Uzis' railgun and mentioned how J's body crawled away they quickly went back to the colony. It also didn't help that Gordon was gone with footprints leading toward the colony. "You think he also went to deal with J?" N asked. "Doubtful," Uzi replied furious. "I bet he's trying to find out our secrets. We don't know anything about him and he's trying to figure out everything about us...The perfect ploy." N shakes his head refusing to believe his friend would betray them like that. As they land they knock on the door, The Worker Drone answers. "Hey Thad! Welcome back!" He turns to Uzi. "Uuuuh, isn't she grounded?" Uzi, who was already upset, got even more angry. "Ugh! BANISHED! Has my dad been saying I've been grounded?" He then turns to N frowning. "Genocide robot?" N looks down putting his finger together in a shy way. He gave the Worker Drone a drawing he made as an apology. "Aw, ok get in ya goobs!" The door opens and all three step in. "Uhhh, did Gordon go in here at all?" The Worker Drone pins the drawing up "Oh you mean the human? Yeah he was here, seemed in a hurry, didn't have time to talk." Uzi looked at N, they both nodded as they went in. Eventually they come across the large room where they fought J and V. As they enter the darkened room. They see a large sum of Worker Drone body parts, oil spewed around the area. Uzi observes the destruction. "Uuuuh. Do you guys...do this often?" N just stares. "Haha, no. I'm very concerned. But also pretty frightened." Thad notices something, "Hey, Uzi! What's that thing?" He points to a sign displaying the symbol that Gordon has seen many times now. "Hey, isn't that your special eye?" N remarks only for Uzi to hit him on the arm. "Don't call it that!" She looks closely at the writings on the sign. "Absolute Solver? Reboot? Does this have anything to do with how your head grows back?" N scratched his head. "Heh,. I actively avoid unpacking how that works." Uzi keeps on reading. "New material can't be pulled from thin air. If the wound is severe. This solver might be some kind of autorun program to collect new material." N covers Uzi's mouth. She's about to get mad at him only to look at what he's pointing at. There in the distance was Gordon. Standing there waving slowly. Uzi just looks towards N wondering why he's so scared of him only to realize N is holding something. Gordon's crowbar. Gordon was clearly attached to this weapon and ever seemed to go anywhere without it. Whatever was waving at them, wasn't Gordon. Thad unfortunately didn't understand. "Hello, Gordon! We've been looking for you!" As Thad steps towards "Gordon" something grabs his ankle. They all look down to see a human hand connected to a long fleshy strand all the way towards where Gordon was. N aims a missile at Gordon" and fires. The Missile goes past "Gordon" and blows up. The quick glimpse of light revealed the shadow of a large centipede creature, standing behind "Gordon" As their eyes widened Thad is pulled towards the large creature by the hand. Thankfully a Shuriken thrown by N manages to slice the fleshy cable freeing Thad. "I want a freaking Ninja Star" whined Uzi. however before Thad could get up a claw appears and grabs him pulling him into the darkness. "Gordon" also floats away afterwards. "You good?" N asks Uzi after that weird display. "Stop asking! Chainsaw hand time?" N's hands turn into chainsaws. "Yeah, cool, cool." They pursue the claw carrying Thad until they come to a stop. They see a hologram of Thad screaming only for it to flicker off and on with Thad now acting normal, well normal enough. "Yes, and hello It's me. Tad, can I get a location? I heard dentists office! I'm Thad at the dentist's office. Come over here with your...teeth!" Uzi stares unimpressed. "Predictably terrible work J. You look-" "Great, you look great J!" N interrupts. "Wait guys! It's really me! I-is that a fr-freaking ninja star?" As the Thad hologram glitches, N throws another Shuriken at the ceiling causing the Thad hologram to disappear and the real Thad to fall to the ground. "Life savers again! Thanks! Super invited to my shindig next weekend." A Security camera descends looking at Thad. "Cool kids only!" He says running off. N and Uzi stare at each other and then squeal with excitement before being interrupted by the Absolute Solver descending from their hiding spot. In one of the claws Gordon lies there unconscious, being controlled like a puppet on strings (How ironic) "We're busy then anyway so whatever, so lame" A camera appears displaying an eye. "What's with the voice J?" "Oh, J's not here right, now we are trying to repair our host as per directive." "So you ARE a program." "More like our cute puppets" The solver displays a hologram of Nori holding a baby Uzi appear, smiling with glitches of the solver symbol on her eyes. "It hurts our feelings you don't remember us." Uzi, unnerved by what she just saw walks back a bit "N? What's with the mom hologram?" She looks around to see N is gone and then looks towards Gordon. "What did you want with Gordon?" "Brain contains an interesting point of view, you of all people are interested in what secrets he holds." "Like what?" Uzi asks. "Easier to assimilate than to explain, now for something shocking." The Solver holds up Khan in one of their claws and crushes him in half. "NO!" Uzi screams tears filling her eyes. "Goodbye" The Solver prepares to attack Uzi when a missile is fired at them. "Pained cry" N flies down attacking the Solver he turns to Uzi. "Uzi shoot! Or give it to me!" He holds out his arm for the railgun. Uzi stares for a bit. "You good?" N asks. "...No" Uzi gives the railgun to N only for him to disappear, he turns out to be a hologram as Uzi is pushed back "Pranked, Idiot, you big stupid." The Solver then brings Gordon down, making him extend an arm towards uzi. "Exposition Time" As Gordons hand touches Uzis forehead she goes limp all of sudden. She then wakes up somewhere else. A scientific area with multiple scientists doing work. Black Mesa. Then all of a sudden an explosion rings out and the peaceful setting is replaced by a terribly destroyed area. Humans all over the place dying or attempting to flee strange small creatures that look like they came straight from an alien world. Uzi watches in horror, as one scientist is torn apart while the other holds a gun to their head, preparing to put themselves out rather than die a painful death. She watches as Gordon fights for his life attempting to save all he can but failing miserably. He failed. He couldn't save them. And now the worst is yet to come. Uzi turns around to see a large Monster of some sort with a big forehead and an arm coming out of their torso. It bellows in a low and terrifying voice. "FREEEEEEEEMAAAAAAAN." The creature disappears and is instead replaced with a man in a suit; he turns his head to look at Uzi and...

Uzi wakes up, terrified and staring blankly at what she just witnessed. She couldn't do anything as the Solver approached, throwing Gordon to the side. "Lucky for you it's snack time. Time to go into my mouth now" Before they could do anything however a grenade tossed their way and exploded. The Solver turns to see Gordon, Up and ready to fight N lands beside him giving him his crowbar. Gordon smiles and takes it and they both run into battle. Gordon jumps onto the Solver stabbing it multiple times with his crowbar as N stabs at the Solver with his claws. "Ow. And Please don't. And Also I was using those." While N and Gordon fight off the Solver, Uzi notices her railgun glowing bright red. N notices and quickly grabs Uzi and flies out of there. Gordon jumps off the Solver and also runs quickly. The Railgun explodes in a bright green light, disintegrating the Solver. When the smoke clears Uzi N and Gordon stare terrified at what they saw. "Wh...which part of that was real?" The solver, reduced to a small heart with crab legs, attempts to make an escape. "Sneaky sneaky. Sneaking away. Get snuck upon." Gordon takes his crowbar and hits the Solver with it. "Ow" he hits it again. "Ow" he begins to repeatedly hit it. "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow" finally the solver is reduced to a fleshy puddle. N extends Uzi a Hand but she backs away scared. "What...are you things?" N hurt by her distrust in him unfurls his wings and flies away. Uzi looks towards Gordon equally as frightened. "What...the hell did you do on earth...What have you seen?..." Gordon just moved inches closer to Uzi only for her to back away. "Stay away...Just stay away...please" Gordon backs away, upset by this he turns around and runs. "Uzi?" Khan appears with other Worker Drones attracted by the commotion they heard of. Uzi quickly hugs her father who awkwardly returns the favor. He looks toward Gordon exiting through the doors, and N who escaped through the hole in the roof.
