"что. (What.)" Doll blankly said in confusion.

"Oh! I've never met a Russian disassembly drone before! Luckily I have a translator, do you have one?" The oddly innocent-sounding murder drones asked. Doll backed up a bit before nodding confusedly.

"That's so cool! Hey, are you new to our squad? You're a bit...short for a disassembly drone..." He mentioned looking closely at her, Doll squinted her eyes in annoyance. After N intensely stared at her, he introduced himself.

"I'm Serial Designation N! Nice to meet you! I'm kinda the leader of the squad in this city!...that's not true, everyone tells me I'm useless and terrible...WAIT I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU THAT PART! Biscuits...well, honesty IS the best policy ahaha! I also can't seem to remember the past 3 hours of my life but ah, I'm sure that'll sort itself out ehe." N smiled and blinked innocently. Doll blinked as well in confusion before leaving.

"Пока. (Bye.)" Doll said as she left, N had a look of 'what??' on his face until suddenly, Doll felt a sting on her hand from the tail stab earlier...usually the solver would heal wounds like these...maybe the nanite acid is more powerful than the solver's healing capabilities?

"Oh! Stabbed yourself? Just pop it in your mouth, our saliva neutralizes the nanites! otherwise I'd be CONSTANTLY disassembling myself, heh." N sheepishly stated as he caught his tail, Doll just gazed at him with a stare that looked like a stare of concern & disgust.

"Ты в порядке? (Are you okay?)" Doll didn't say it as if she cared but just disturbed that someone would actually admit that.

"Never better! :3" N cheerfully stated with a dumb smile.

"Итак... под нашей слюной вы имеете в виду... (So...by our saliva you mean...)" Doll started.

"...разборочный дрон? (Disassembly drone?)" "Disassembly drone?" They both basically said the same thing in unison.

Doll sighed, dreading what she knew she had to do, before saying: "Ладно... э-э, давайте, пожалуй, пойдем вон к тому посадочному модулю. (Okay... uh, let's go to that landing pod over there, I guess.)"

N looked back and forth between her and the landing pod and agreed.

"Sure! I love doing anything!"

...

"Blegh...Sweet ahaha...I'm open to new things I guess!" N commented after Doll just stuck her injured hand in his mouth.

"Никогда и никому не рассказывай об этом...отвратительном моменте." (Never tell anyone about this...disgusting moment.)" Doll says as she wipes her hand on her cheerleading skirt trying to get the icky saliva off.

"Ahaha about what?! consider It uhh...Repressed!" N said while trying to act as cool as possible.

Doll nodded in agreement "Ммм, ну, я пойду. (Mmm, well, I'll be going.)" She pulled the strap of her backpack over her shoulder and stood up.

"Wait! You just got here! you don't want a tour or an introduction of your future teammates?? surely you can wait to go feast on some workers, right?" N nervously laughed, hoping he could talk longer. Doll's eyes narrowed when he mentioned 'others'...she knew N wasn't the one who killed her parents, that's for sure. Doll took out a photograph of V that her father took in his final moments and stared at it

"Она одна из них? (Is she one of them?)" Doll turned the picture around for N to see with a stern look.

"Oh my! Yes! Where did you get that?" N was surprised she had a picture of V.

"Не ваше дело. (None of your business.)" Doll replied and sat down again, "Кто она? (Who is she?)" Doll asked, wanting to know more about the one who ruined her life.

"Oh, that's just V, she's nice!" N said as he began to tell a story about something that happened not too long ago:

V takes out an innocent drone's entrails and laughs down psychotically at the poor victim.

"NO...NO! PLEASE! DON'T FEED ME MY OWN ENTRAILS IN FRONT OF MY FAMILY!" The worker begged for mercy right before V ripped his limbs apart brutally, N watched in awkwardness as he waited for her to stop, afterwards she some more laughed and wiped the oil off her face.

"And yet...I still feel nothing." V grinned sadistically.

"So...V, ahahaha...I heard this...planet wide toxic deathstorm is supposed to be specially inhospitable tonight-" N tried to ask V out but V didn't notice him until later on in the sentence.

"Huh? OH GOD! WHO ARE YOU?!" V yelled defensively before flying off into the sky.

"No worries! I'm N, but a whole letter is a lot to remember ahahaha..." N said after she flew off, nervously laughing after the obvious rejection and the fact she forgot who he was.

After N explained the story between V and him, he said: "Sooo obviously a lot of mutual respect there but secretly...I actually kinda have a crush on her- YOU CAN'T TELL HER, OKAY?!" N admitted before begging Doll not to tell V and then chuckling before realizing what he just said.

"Ты глупец, что любишь кого-то подобного. (You're a fool to love someone like that.)" Doll was very angry that someone was actually in love with her mortal enemy.

"Ahahah...I get that a lot, mainly from Rocky and J." N nervously laughed.

"ВОЗ? (Who?)" Doll asked, confused.

"Oh! Rocky is my only friend, he lives outside the corpse wall. Come to think of it, I need to visit him sometime soon..." N thought.

"Еще один дрон-убийца?" (Another murder drone?)" Doll thought the disassembly drones could only have 1 letter names.

"Oh, no, he's just a lil rock guy I found outside the spire, do you wanna meet him?" N asked excitedly.

"Нет, так кто же тогда такой Джей? (No, who is J then?)" Doll was trying to make sure J was either another Rock or a Murder drone.

"Oh yeah! J is our leader!" N introduced J with yet another story of when J almost killed him:

J groaned, "N, you're WORTHLESS and TERRIBLE." J began, "Thank..you.." N managed to say while getting choked by J standing on his throat. "And if the company allowed it, I would straight up KILL YOU MYSELF!" J yelled.

"J's awesome." N said after he finished storytelling. "Hey, before you go hunt down some food, let me give you the tour! outside are the...corpse...wall...thingies. And here are the buttons! beep boop beep bop boop." N pressed some of the random buttons on the console, Doll looked at the console and then the broken screen above it.

"Это космический корабль? (This is a spaceship?)" Doll realized.

"Moooore of a one-use missile, they never taught us how to land." N mentioned.

"Кто они'?" (Who are they?)" Doll asked.

"Oh! that's...I don't remember!" N thought for a second but then realized he didn't know who they was.

Doll emotionlessly stared at him before stating: "Так...зачем убивать рабочих дронов? Разве мы не можем работать с ними, чтобы починить этот космический корабль и сбежать? (So...why kill the worker drones? Can't we work with them to fix this spaceship and escape?)" Doll asked with the same stern expression like always.

"Other than ingesting their WARM SWEET oil to avoid overheating and dying...I guess I just wanted to be useful, I was given a job and I always wanna try my best!" N answered.

"Какую выгоду ты этим получаешь? убивая невинные семьи только потому, что тебе так сказали?! ты правда думаешь, что твой босс просто не избавится от тебя, как только ты убьешь всех нас?! (What do you gain from this? Killing innocent families just because you're told to?! Do you really think your boss won't just get rid of you once you kill us all?!)" Doll stood up and yelled before realizing she admitted she wasn't a disassembly drone.

"Oh my! That's quite the theory! uh- wait what do you mean us-" N was cut off by the sound of V & J arriving at the corpse house. "Oh hey! they're back! you-..." N realized Doll disappeared.

"Idiot, get out here!" J yelled from outside the pod.

Doll was glad her teleportation worked, she ran while teleporting forward as much as she could as she just exited the corpse tower, meanwhile V spotted her and laughed before going inside the spire.

"Yo, we got a worker out there that I kinda wanna tie upside down and beat to death!...happened here?" V was confused.

"Synergistic liability here must've tripped and knocked himself offline." J slapped N in the head. "MORON BOT! Hello??" J snapped her fingers in front of N's face to get him to reboot properly.

Suddenly all the stuff that happened in the past few minutes flashed through his mind, realizing Doll was not a disassembly drone but a worker drone that he was supposed to exterminate...

"Oh..." N scanned for where she could have gone. "OHHHHH! YO- I LEFT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS- RUSSIAN- OUTSIDE!" N ran off to fulfill his duty he was supposed to do before the others got mad, J narrowed her eyes as he ran and V pulled out a flag saying: "Literally so insanely suspicious".

Doll did the same thing she was doing earlier, fidgetily teleporting and running, finally in sight of the vent that was hidden by a few cargo boxes she used to get out here. Suddenly, N, now back in 'Murder mode' flew in front of her causing her to stop and run towards the bunker door instead.

Doll was breathing intensely while N was hunting her down as she saw the bunker door that was for some reason and luckily, open.

"Ah, there's that new deck of cards! wonder why we put it out here..." a WDF worker stated as he picked up the pack of cards and headed back inside the bunker as the door began to close. Doll used as much strength as she could and managed to teleport inside just in time.

She did it...that was a close one...she tried not to fall on the ground after how much energy she used, the four WDF workers were whispering about who she was.

"Who's this??" "Todd, ya know this girl?" "Looks like one of my kids' classmates..." "Is that the orphan?"

Doll didn't have time to process what they were saying before she realized...the door didn't fully close...
