Thank you for your suggestion!

Uzi was outside picking up various stuff from dead worker drones that laid all over the snowy ground. He logic was that they didn't need it anymore, they were dead. This was about her fifth time going out and she had dragged N to help her collect parts that could be of value to her new project.

N was curious about her new project but didn't quite voice it yet as he continued to pick up parts, look them over, and toss them into Uzi's open backpack. Once her bag was filled she zipped it up and slung it onto her back. "So..what's all this for?" N asked as they began their way back to the pod.

Uzi ignored his question. After the trip to the mansion N had found her mother's mutated core. Who knew those things could talk?..ick. Uzi kept walking not bothering to check if N was still following her as she knew he wouldn't ditch her.

Once at the pod Uzi dumped the parts onto the dash and began looking through the parts and throwing ones that didn't have a place. N watched her even as V entered the room as well. "Is she back to do that mystery project again?" The female asked and N sighed and nodded.

V had come back after they fled the mansion and was pretty messed up from her fight with the raptors. She had healed up in the matter of a day or two. "Yeah..kinda wish she'd take a break, I mean it's obvious stressing her out!" N exclaimed as Uzi dumped a bunch of parts back into her bag.

Uzi picked her bag up and brought it to the same place as she always did and sat down on the floor. She had made it clear that no one was to enter this specific room for some..odd reason that she put together at the last second.

N and V wouldn't be lying if they said they were worried for her as she spent a lot of time in that one room. Inside said room Uzi sat in a chair she had brought in that was in front of a unfinished mechanical skeleton.

Her bag was at her side which she opened and looked through for a certain part. Her mother's core was asleep on the work bench behind the skeleton. Uzi began to assemble different parts until they represented something from her anatomy book that was to her right on the small table.

She kept up like this till she ran out of parts and the torso of the skeleton was finally complete. Uzi got up deciding to go out in the morning so she could actually see things with help of the sunlight. She left her bag in the room and walked out. In the two chairs by the dash was the two disassembly drones sitting and chatting over cups of oil.

Uzi really wanted some but decided against asking for it as she picked up the discarded parts and threw them outside the pods hatch. Once she was done she realized just how exhausted she was. She started walking to the back rooms where the sleeping quarters were.

N stopped her by gently grabbing her arm. He had set his cup was on the dash which drew Vs attention to him. "Uzi..what are you doing? It's obviously stressing you out and by your demeanor your rushing to get it finished.." N said voicing his concerns.

Uzi looked at him then looked away. She wasn't willing to tell him because she feared he would spoil the surprise she was planning. "I can't tell you, not yet," she said and pulled away to go to the sleeping quarters.

N sighed in frustration and ran his hands through his hair which knocked his hat off his head. V knelt down and picked it up handing it back to him. "She's overly secretive.." V remarked and N nodded in agreement. "I don't know why.." he said sounding hurt and heartbroken.
