Few months later

Ghot: (monologuing thought) It's been a few months since I entered the colony. Ever since I first entered here, I have met many other worker drones and seen how their lives have been. To be honest, it.... Something, at least. It all started when I met Khan Doorman at the massive bunker door.

Ghot thinks about the time she first met Khan Doorman.

Ghot: (monologuing thought) He showed me around the place and even showed me his daughter, Uzi. She was a pretty rebellious drone worker, and we initially had our argument. Still, we started to understand one another over time, and she became like a sister to me. I also went to the same school with her, even in the same classroom. Some of my classmates were not nice to Uzi but were cool with me, which I don't understand why. Anyway, I remember that we were supposed to be doing a project, which I thought was about buying watermelon or something, but Uzi told me it would be a good idea to work together on-

Uzi: This sick-as-hell raingun!

Ghot's thoughts were interrupted by Uzi's showcase of her railgun, which Uzi and Ghot built together in the classroom.

Uzi pulls out her railgun and points it at the students as they gasp.

Riley: That's so not the vibe!

Uzi: Easy, morons. It doesn't work. YET. It doesn't work yet. Who said it doesn't work?! Maybe it does! Ghot, tell them that the railgun doesn't work yet!

Uzi flicks her railgun on as she cackles and points it back at the students again.

Ghot: Uzi, we still need to test out the railgun, let alone see if it even stabilized without that ONE component I kept telling you it's missing!

Teacher: (Sighs) Uzi, the homework was a word problem about buying watermelons.

Uzi: Oh, and this magnetically amplified photon converger doesn't count?

Ghot: (tries to whisper to Uzi) I told you we should have tried to build the railgun secretly!

Teacher: No. Plus, repressed emotional baggage was only worth two points on the rubric.

Ghot, alongside the teacher, notices electricity crackling off Uzi's railgun.

Teacher: And is it supposed to be that color?

Uzi (Gasps in shock): Huh?

Ghot: (Panic) Oh Drag...

The view cuts to outside the classroom, where an explosion happens inside, and coughing is heard from inside.
