Amid the freezing and lonely climate of the exoplanet Copper-9, you (Y/N), one of the four disassembly drones that were sent here with the mission of exterminating all the worker drones, were a little thoughtful during your current hunt.

This was a task that you definitely didn't like doing, you hated hearing the screams of pain and pleas for mercy from your victims, they made you feel a little guilty, but it wasn't like you had much of a choice, it was either that or overheat and die.

You were lost in your thoughts as you flew around in search of prey, but a warning suddenly appeared on your display, breaking you out of your thoughts.

[Warning: Oil reserves at only 16%]

(Y/N): I already feel like I'm starting to overheat... I need to find workers soon.

You then heard two voices coming from inside a nearby building, were they really stupid enough to think you wouldn't hear them? Your visor then took the form of a >< as you camouflaged yourself into your surroundings and slowly approached without being noticed by them, just waiting for the right moment to strike and kill your prey.

Taking advantage of the fact that neither of the two workers managed to notice your presence, you climbed up and hung from the ceiling. Your tail was ready to pierce and melt the workers with its acid, but you decided to wait until one of them was distracted and then attack them by surprise.

Said and done, as soon as one of the workers turned his back to the other, you wrapped your tail around his neck, suffocating him and preventing him from screaming or asking for help while you discreetly pulled him up to make sure the Other wouldn't notice. When the other worker looked back again for his companion, he couldn't find anyone... Until a drop of oil fell on his head.

The moment he looked up to see where the oil came from, he came across you smiling in a sadistic way while holding the other worker's dead body with your tail. Before he could scream or run away, you came down from the ceiling and tore him apart with your claws, giving him a quick and painless death.

You then quickly began devouring the bodies of the workers you had just killed, feeling your body cooling down and your oil reserves filling up.

(Y/N): "Ah... What a relief." *You muttered to yourself, feeling enormous relief from the cooling sensation.*

You then looked at the remains of the workers that were lying on the ground in front of you with a bit of... pity?

(Y/N): "Sorry about that, nothing personal, but... I had no other choice." *You quickly apologized to the dead workers with a slight tone of guilt as you gave them a small bow indicating respect.*

Apologizing to the workers you kill ended up becoming a common habit that you got used of doing, for some reason it always made you feel less guilty, as if you were receiving forgiveness from the very workers you killed.

For some reason, this situation reminded you of your teammate N, she doesn't seem to like what she does either... But the in the same way than you do, it's not like she has many options. However, this thought ends up taking you to a specific memory.

Flashback

N (nervous): "S-so... (Y/N) w-would you like to... You know, hunt with me today...?"

(Y/N): "Oh, hunt with you? Of course, I would love to do it!" *It's not like you talk to your teammates often, so this is a very rare opportunity that you're not going to waste.*

N (shocked): U-uh? Y-you actually accepted it!? *She seemed to be surprised by your acceptance to it.*

(Y/N): Yeah, but let's go already before J starts to complain about us just standing still and doing nothing. *You say knowing how your leader would react if she finds you two still there.*

N: O-oh, yeah... She would complain a lot about it... *(Thinking: Not now N, you have a crush on V, not on him... Right?)*

(Y/N): Then let's go. I know a great spot to hunt. *You then grab her hand to lead her to the place, she blushes profusely by your action.*

After some minutes you two find some workers, and it's at this moment that you discover a side of N that you didn't know existed.

She brutally killed all the worker drones there, one by one while you just watched it, suddenly she stopped and looked at you. Her visor quickly shifts back from the >< returning to the "normal" and giving you a smile before returning to kill the rest of the workers, it's as if she is trying to impress you. And you would be hypocritical if you said that you didn't like it...

End of the flashback

Snapping out of your thoughts, you quickly went back to devouring the oil from the remains of the dead workers, as soon as you finished "eating", you decided to check your systems.

[System Status]

[Oil reserves at: 56%]

[No injuries found, regeneration temporarily disabled to reduce unnecessary oil waste]

[Warning: internal clock is showing 3:22, return to the landing pod is highly recommended]

(Y/N): Apparently I won't be able to hunt more than that... It's a shame, but I at least managed to kill enough workers for today.

You then decided to go back to the landing pod quickly, before the sun started to rise and burn you. However, before you took off, you heard a noise nearby and in the hope of finding some possible prey, you decided to see what was causing the noise.

Approaching the noises, you then arrived at a completely destroyed building, in the same moment you entered there all the noises stopped. Suddenly before you could do anything to react, you were hit by something and everything went black.
