Just A Small Delivery

A Drop Ship?

Previously:

"V!" I shout as I see her turn towards me with an unbothered look on her face. "The company has sent something out and supposedly we will be getting some sort of item soon. So be on the look out it should arrive in a day or two." I say as I fix a stray hair. V rolled her eyes before promptly giving a thumbs up. "Also don't tell N, we can't have that idiot messing anything up." I said irritated from the thought of N somehow messing this up. "Who?" V asked with an indifferent gaze. I simply sigh before going into the drop ship.

Third Person

Serial designation N was flying around on patrol as he usually does. It was going to be morning soon so N was flying back to the rather disturbing spire he calls home. As he flew over the snowy landscape of Copper-9 a slight flash of light caught his eye.

It was similar to that of light reflecting off of metal. N started to become curious, he paused hovering in the air as he tried to locate where that light had came from.

Soon enough after scanning his surroundings hard enough he saw another glimpse of light. He began his dissent as he neared the piece of metal. It looked like it was debris. Now looking around his environment throughly he saw a trail as if something had crashed.

N began following the trail of debris. A small voice told him to leave, that if he doesn't leave soon he was going to be cooked by the suns deadly rays. But for some reason the drone continued his journey.

Soon he came upon something. A crash site. It had probably been a few hours since it had landed. The drop pods exterior was definitely damaged by the fall. Some pieces were even missing they were probably dislodged by the harsh landing. Walking to the drop pod revealed that the door was slightly opened. Snow seeped in through the opening.

N opened the door more with a loud creak sound echoing around him. N hissed in pain as his tail quickly curled around his leg. Careful to not prick himself with the dangerous needle at the end of his tail he checked for damage. It appeared to be burned. Which indicated the sun's rising. N quickly took shelter in the damaged drop ship.

Entering the dark drop pod, N saw crates and other things thrown around most likely due to the fall. He looked for any signs of life. No doubt there had to be at least something that indicated that someone or something was in here.

Sadly nothing gave that notion. That was until a faint sound was heard from one of the only desk like object that was standing upright. A faint whimpering sound came from the object.

N originally thought it was a worker drone. But when he went in to attack he was surprised to see a disassembly drone. Short white hair with a headband with yellow bulbs. However, this drone seemed very small compared to him. Another difference was the yellow highlights in their hair. The drone appeared very shaken.

"H-hey little buddy... are you okay?" N asked concerned he had knelt down beside the smaller drone. Obviously making himself smaller so as to avoid scaring them. He was met by familiar golden eye lights. They were hollowed out indicating their shock.

"I won't hurt you." N said in a quiet voice so as to avoid potential scaring his shorter acquaintance. N smiled gently at them. The small drone seemed to slowly start to move closer to him. Instead of the fear or caution that N was so used to see. He saw awe and fascination. It was like they never saw another drone before.

"So what's your name little buddy?" N said remaining quiet. The little drone didn't answer instead they simply stared at him with an almost child like curiosity. N then noticed a small sticky note on the control panel. He picked it up and took a closer look. "Oh your name is E!" N said a bit loud which accidentally spooked the small drone.

The small drone now known as E quickly dove under a nearby box due to the sudden loud noise. "Oh I'm sorry little buddy I just got excited from learning your name," N said whispered. E appeared to be much calmer as they approached N very slowly. N held out a hand to the small drone. Thankfully they took it.

It was obvious to N that E had not been in contact with another drone in perhaps a very long time or ever. The note said something like imprinting whatever that meant. It was probably not important.

"I forgot to introduce myself didn't I... My name is Serial Designation N or just N," N said happily with a smile which the small drone mimicked.
