The New Solver

Chapter Five (Killer camp pt 1.)

(A/N: This chapter starts where the last one left off.)

*Infinite is seen walking up to camp 98.7*

Infinite: There's still campsites here? Wow. Not what I would expect from a frozen waste-world.

*cuts to the bus, as it comes to a stop and lets everyone out, N and V land at the entrance, and everything's the same, then as Uzi leaves the group, it cuts back to Infinite, who is seen standing over the frozen lake*

Infinite: As I expected, any and all remaining water is now frozen. Well, Time to- (hears something) wait. What's tha-

*Infinite gets cut of by N and V landing at the entrance to the camp, unaware that he even exists*

Infinite:(O_O) (thinking) Okay. Wow. What a landing on their part. Why specifically here though?

(A/N: Yes, everything in this AU so far has played out exactly according to the show. But now, things start to change, as The New Solver is introduced.)

*Infinite jogs as stealthily as possible, due to the snow, over behind the nearest cabin to the camp entrance, poking his head out from behind it to see what's going on*

Infinite:(thinking) Huh. I'm not the only one on this planet. That must be why David transported me here, so I could get some of them to help me stop Absolute.

*unfortunately for Infinite, when the rest of the group turns to go into the camp, he's spotted by N*

N: Hey buddy! Why don't you come over and join us?

*everyone else, Uzi included, looks where N's looking, and sees Infinite still hiding behind the cabin. Uzi though, is relieved N wasn't talking to her*

Infinite:(O_O)(thinking) I did not expect to get spotted. Might as well though. He seems friendly. It will also be an opportunity to get some help with confronting my sister. (no longer thinking)(a bit surprised) Me?

N: Yes you! Get over here!

Infinite:(still a bit surprised) Okay. I guess.

*V is clearly skeptical of Infinite, wondering why a random worker is out here, at this specific campsite, at this specific moment, behind a cabin, seemingly to have been spying on them. And why does he have such a monotone voice?*

*Infinite walks over to the group while laughing quietly enough for only him to hear, and joins them*

Infinite:(thinking) I wonder how many . . . people? Do worker drones count as people? I will just say they do. I wonder how many people are on this trip. Let me see . . . (scans the group) 16. 17 counting the one who walked off, and 19, counting the disassembly drones. I wonder if they even know anything about Absolute's existence. I will ask them abou- huh?

*Infinite's train of thought was interrupted by N patting his back*

N: So, what's your name buddy?

Infinite: You . . . may not like my full name, so just call me by my first name: Infinite.

N:(confused, a bit surprised, and somewhat curious) Wait, your name's Infinite? As in, like, infinity? The number that keeps going forever?

Infinite: Yes. The number that never ends. And what about you? What is your name?

N: My name is Serial Designation N. But you can just call me N.

Infinite: Well, it is nice to meet you, N. Oh, by the way, who is she? (points at V)

N: Oh that's V. She's a bit crazy at times, but she's really a nice person-

V: No I'm not, moron. You of all people should know that.
