Back at the Doorman home, Khan opened a door filled with stuff Uzi has never seen.

Old files, strange drawing, and other items that belonged to the robotic woman he loved and the mother of his child.

Nori Doorman.

"Mr. Doorman...what is all of this stuff?" N asked with a pause.

"This is the stuff my wife tried to warn me about. Stuff that I should've listened to." He said.

Khan moved aside and allowed Uzi, Doll, N, and V to enter the room and see everything Nori had left behind.

Seeing all of this, Uzi suddenly had so many questions running through her head.

How much did Nori know all of this?

How LONG did she know about this?

Was there anyone else besides bed dad that knew too?

"Hey, what's this?" N asked, picking up a strange collar with the numbers 002 on it.

"That was Nori's identification collar. She always wore it, even before we meet." Khan said as he took it from N. "Said it was to help protect her or something."

"From what?" V asked.

"...From the sky demons. I can to understand it meant you murder drones." Khan said as he turned to his daughter, giving her the collar. "And something called "the singularity.""

Uzi looked at it, very confused.

"Singularity?" Uzi muttered as Doll was looking over some stuff herself.

She then looked at different photo of the one that was in her file at her home, but now she could see there was a sign for the facility her mother and Nori were at.

"Лагерь 98.7. (Camp 98.7.)" She said out loud, making everyone look at her.

Uzi didn't know why but she had a feeling that place, wherever it was, had the answered they were looking.

"We have to go there." Uzi said firmly.

"But how do we get there? Depending on how far it is, we might not be able to make it there and back before the sun comes up." N said.

"There has to be a way." Uzi said, rubbing her chin.

"Like what? We take a bus?" V asked, sarcastic.

Doll and Uzi glanced at each other, both coming up with the same idea at the same time.

"School field trip./Школьная экскурсия.." They said to everyone.

"... Great." V said, rolling her eyes. "That won't cause problems."

"Если тебе это не понравится, я всегда могу тебя убить (If you don't like it I can always kill you)." Doll said.

That resulted in Uzi sending her tail at Doll, just barely stopping before she stabbed her.

"Don't." Uzi warned, having enough after this night.

Doll and Uzi stared at each other, the former looking blank while the latter had a tied glare.

"Hmmm." Doll let out, pushing the tail away and nodding.

"Come on, let's go back to the spire." Uzi said, pulling her tail back.

"Even Doll?" N asked.

"INCLUDING her. Like I said, until we get some answers, she's not leaving my sight." Uzi said as she glared at Doll. "So pack what little shit you have, you're moving in with us."
