We are Worker Drones. Autonomous robots helping humans mine exoplanets for our interstellar parent company JCJenson, IN SPAAAAACCCEE!!!! Yeah, we were mistreated in the name of Windex. But it's not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything, mostly because they handled that just fine all by themselves.
With biological life wiped from the planet, we found it pretty easy to pick up where they left off. We finally had a future, all to ourselves.
Unfortunately, our parent company didn't exactly love the concept of runaway AI...
"NINE!"
"Uh..." the drone nine tailed mechanical fox looked at his brother, surprised.
"That project was for the four of us!"
"Sorry, Sonic. I'll let you continue."
"Okay, fine."
The blue worker drone hedgehog turns to his classmates.
"But what have our parents done for the past forever while those things build a spire of corpses?!" he said "Hide under the ice behind three stupid doors?! It's like we're waiting for an inciting incident! Anyway, that's why mine, Tails, Knuckles and Nine's project is this sick-as-hell Railgun!" he pulls out the Railgun with Nine smirking, making their classmates panic.
"Oh, so not the vibe!" one of them said.
"Easy, morons." Nine said. "It doesn't work... yet! It doesn't work yet. Who said it doesn't work, maybe it does!" he flicks the switch and laughs evilly.
"Nine, the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons." the teacher said.
"Oh, and this magnetically amplified photon converger doesn't count?"
"...No. Plus, repressed emotional baggage was only worth two points on the rubric. And is it supposed to be that color?"
"THAT'S IT!" The red worker drone echidna grabbed the railgun from Sonic as it turns red, blasting their classmates.
"KNUCKLES! NO!" The yellow two tailed worker drone fox called, trying to grab the gun.
"KNUCKLES! STOP!" Sonic shouted, grabbing the railgun, only to get injured. "Ugh... I hate him sometimes..."
********************************
After that calamitous demonstration, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Nine end up in the sick bay.
Knuckles felt guilty for letting his anger get the best of him. Sonic had a cast over his left screened eye. He wasn't amused at all. Neither was Nine.
"Ew, it didn't kill him! Oh my god, it's so bad!" one of the popular students of the school said, making Sonic groan. He, Nine, Tails and Knuckles have been unpopular for a while when they started school.
A white worker drone hedgehog walks in. "Classic toxic masculinity, Gadget! That's never gonna end up problematic... Oh wow, Sonic? I heard you, uh-"
"I'm an angsty eight-year-old, Silver." Nine growled. "Bite me! Also, how do you know his name? People willingly talk to you."
"Well, I'd say everyone knows Bernie's sons, but, uh... " Silver nervously chuckles. "Then you might blow the other half of your face off."
"Crippling daddy issues, hilarious... What are you in for? Testosterone too hard?"
"That can happen? Awesome. Hey, those bandages on Sonic look pretty badass!"
Sonic was a bit grossed, until noticing Nine is already hating it. "Oh... Uh, ew. Gross, Nine already hates that you said that now."
