The following morning, Uzi, N, and V returned to the library, armed with new determination. The hidden compartment they had found in an old desk contained a stack of faded documents and a small, rusty key.

"This looks promising!" Uzi said, examining the key. "I wonder what it opens."

V shrugged. "Only one way to find out. Let's keep searching."

Uzi responded. "BITE ME! do you Think I dont know!? " , V giggled

"no fighting please... " N said.

After hours of scouring the library, they found a locked chest tucked away in a dusty corner. Uzi's hands trembled slightly as she inserted the key and turned it. The lock clicked open, revealing a collection of holographic recordings and data chips.

"These must be from my mom," Uzi whispered, carefully picking up one of the recordings.

N placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We should watch them. Maybe they'll give us some answers."

They gathered around a projector, and Uzi inserted the first recording. The hologram flickered to life, revealing her mother's face. She looked younger, her expression serious and focused.

"If you're watching this, it means the Absolute Solver has activated," Nori began. "I need to explain some things about our past and a dangerous entity named Cyn."

Uzi's eyes filled with tears as the recording continued. "I wish she was here to help me," she murmured.

N wrapped an arm around her. "We'll figure it out, Uzi. Together." Then Uzi looked at N and noticed she was crying, she wiped off the tears and said " BITE ME! YOU NEVER SAW THAT!!! " N laughted silentely.

As they watched more recordings and analyzed the data chips, they learned about the early experiments, the development of the Absolute Solver, and the growing concern over its potential for corruption.

One recording stood out. Nori's expression was particularly grave.

"Uzi, there's something you need to know about Cyn," she began. "Cyn was a Worker Drone, just like us. She was improperly disposed of, which led to the Absolute Solver mutating inside her and taking control. The Solver used her body as its own and, under its influence, Cyn committed horrific acts."

The hologram flickered, showing glimpses of Cyn's atrocities. Uzi, N, and V watched in horror as they saw the Elliott Manor massacre and the deployment of Disassembly Drones to Copper 9.

"Cyn was responsible for many of the tragedies that befell us," Nori continued. "She even destroyed entire planets, starting with Earth. Her corruption was fueled by strong emotions, particularly fear and anger. You must learn to control these emotions, Uzi, or risk falling into the same darkness."

V suddenly pulled out a dusty book titled "The Basics of AI Development." She opened it and showed Uzi a series of doodles and funny notes her mom had made in the margins. "Looks like she had a sense of humor," V said, smirking.

Uzi chuckled, feeling a bit lighter. "Guess I got that from her too."

N tried to stifle a laugh. "I can totally see you making those doodles during class."

Uzi threw a pencil at him. "Bite me!"

One night, as they pored over the final recordings, a sense of urgency gripped them. The last message was a warning: the Absolute Solver's corruption was linked to strong emotions, particularly fear and anger.

"That explains a lot," Uzi said, her voice trembling. "I need to stay in control of my emotions."

"We'll help you," V said, her tone uncharacteristically gentle. "But you need to trust us." Uzi looked at V "awww, not acting meany anymoree? I DIDN knew inside of you there existed love!! " she laughted. "SHHUTTTT UUUUPPPP" V answered and pushed Uzi away. "by the way... Thank you V. " Uzi said looking at her with gratitude. V looked down "ugh.... " then looked at Uzi " No problem I guess, Purple thing.. " V smiled
