The wind howls relentlessly on the surface of Copper9, causing the many metallic objects to creek in the otherwise silent terrain. Suddenly, a deafening blast echoes across the landscape, followed by a shockwave that throws everything up as the exoplanet's gravity stops working. As things float around, the ground begins cracking as roars emanate from beneath it, the sounds of battle growing ever louder.

While the cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web, the largest begins traveling straight for the bunker where the teacher is finishing grading his students' homework, completely indifferent to the sudden loss of gravity. Abruptly, the earth shatters, and a wall caves in as (Y/N) crashes through it, followed by a yellow tendril of pure energy. Just as the ravager drone gets up, the entire building is suddenly thrown into the air with enough force to push everything down, until it breaks through the atmosphere.

As everything is once again suspended in zero gravity, the teacher simply walks out of the room and looks down at the planet, seeing the enormous yellow dot now on its surface, though soon tentacles begin rising towards the debris, wrapping around them, including the section of the bunker the class was in. As the worker drone looks at this unimpressed, one appendage smacks him across the face, as if to get a reaction from him, but failing miserably. Before it can drag this chunk away, the tentacle is suddenly tackled by (Y/N), the ravager drone's wings severing the arm before he dives back down to Copper9.

======================================

While this is happening, Uzi, still floating in the void, can only watch as things go downhill; however, she soon realizes that she's floating ever further from the exoplanet, causing her to flail in panic and desperation to gain some kind of control. Drifting through the asteroid rings, one of them surrounded by the absolute solver symbol suddenly intercepts her, halting the advance.

Holding onto the object, Uzi looks around in confusion before seeing Nori bounce between space rocks, causing the teen to call out, only to realize that no sound can be heard in space. Soon, her mother arrives and quickly spins the rock she's on before stopping it, the word 'whoops' written on it, followed by her shrugging. Looking at the flesh creature, the worker drone tries to advance, but the meteor she's on spins, forcing her to use her power to stop it before putting a message on her screen to communicate, "How stop?"

In response, Nori spins the stone, revealing the word 'patch?' alongside a drawing of the cross. Uzi proceeds to do a breaking motion and show a new message, "Solver control me again?" This is followed by Nori throwing her necklace in the worker drone's face, followed by her writing something new, "If u a lil b$&%#" Chuckling at her mom's language, the teen puts on the necklace and smiles at her before waving.

Sketching a quick smile in response, Nori then adds a new message for Uzi, "Solver needs host - Destroy Cyn's heart - Make (Y/N) eat it?" Putting on her headphones and pulling in her pickaxe, the creature tosses the weapon to her daughter, but just before she can grab it, a landing pod suddenly smashes into the worker drone and sends the mother spiraling back to Copper9.

On the front of the ship, Uzi begins sliding off before grabbing the external ladder, followed by the door opening and Kira pulling her in. As the vessel is sealed shut, sound finally returns as Kira helps the teen up, "Are you ok? Have you seen (Y/N)?!" Suddenly a giggle is heard as N spins around in the pilot seat while striking a pose and cheering, "Spaceship pilot!"

Suddenly, the screens turn red with warning symbols, causing Madeleine to rush to the console and maneuver the pod away from the asteroids. As they get to safety, the modified android looks at the murder drone in annoyance, "[Copilot.]" This silent response is soon followed by N being struck by a wrench as Uzi screams at him, "N! My mom was back there!" Recovering, the male quickly starts apologizing as he takes the wheel again, "Sorry! I didn't kn- Oh." Before he can finish, Uzi hugs him tightly, "You were supposed to get away."
