(A/N: heh, my next week is really busy and if I stop posting for a while you'll know why, of course I'm not saying it will happen for sure so there is that. Have fun reading)

It had been a few hours since Uzi had reinforced her door. It was solid. No one would be able to break through it. She had also made a keycard as per the blueprint. Short drone even though her father let her down a lot, felt a twinge of gratitude that he had at least given her anything that could extend her chance of survival.

Now the purple-haired drone was sleeping soundly, finally letting her body rest. She was laying down on the old mattress that she wanted to change later and hugging that old brown blanket. Oh how much she needed it! Finally some sleep!

However, her idyll did not last as long as Uzi would have liked because she was woken from her 'sleep mode' by a warning on her visor.

//Low energy from lack of food. Need to be replenished as soon as possible//

Uzi groaned and was very reluctant to get off the mattress. She didn't even feel like complaining, she just wanted to get it over with.

In her exhaustion she did not notice the skeleton on the ground and tripped over it.

- "Ughhhhh really? Skelly, you're not allowed to lie on the ground... Move over" - Yes. She was that alone she started to speak with those 3 skeletons. She even got them names! The one on the ground which was also the one she tripped on was called Skelly. The one in the corner was the biggest and Uzi called it Goliath, and the smallest one, she just called Child. The names didn't have any meaning behind them but she didn't care. She will get rid of them anyways. For now the short drone just moved the skeleton with her foot and stepped out of her safe place with her Railgun in hand.

The lavender eyed drone checked her energy... 17%... Painfully low, but it had to be enough. After all, she didn't plan on going out for long, just to get some food.

Suddenly an idea struck her. The short drone remembered that huge shopping mall she wanted to check out and now even though she didn't have much time before she would drop like a fly and the emo wanted to at least find some food and she was sure that in such a place she had great chances. With another plan in mind, Uzi set out to conquer that huge mall.

The journey passed without any obstacles, because what obstacles would she encounter during the day? Apart from murder drones who were only active at night there wasn't really anything threatening for the workers but that didn't change the fact that Uzi preferred to take her gun with her anyway. That's why the short drone often questioned the stupidity of her kind. Why did her kind leave the colony at night? And unarmed at that matter? It's literally suicide.

- "Ehh... It's better not to think about it because it'll give me a headache even worse than it already is... And besides, they never cared about me, so why should I think about it?... Damn... This loneliness isn't so great after all..." - Uzi hit herself yet again since she was in exile... Well, that habit is definitely not good for her health, but oh well, she didn't give a damn.

- "What the fuck am I saying!? I don't need anyone! Everyone on this stupid planet can bite me!" - She aggressively kicked the snow. Uzi tried to push away all the thoughts circulating in her head but she just couldn't! There was too much to think about. About her exile, about her father, about her bunker, and of course about those murderous machines, V in particular. From what she understood, she'll have to deal with that drone trying to get into her bunker every night until she dies. Sweet.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she found herself in front of the object she had wanted to visit and explore so much. Uzi arrived at the place.

As she had determined earlier, while her scavenge hunt was still ongoing, the building was huge! It definitely had several stories. The purple-haired drone smiled weakly to herself. She could finally have some fun.
