It was the year 3052, and as always, it was another boring day in the Cabin Fever Cathedral. Every single day, she had to do paperwork, specifically filling out surveys on the effects of the solver. The humans documented and studied the abilities and behavior of newly corrupted drones, since they added the Absolute Solver to the code of those other Worker drones. 

Alice was filling out those stupid paperwork forms, as she heard a bunch of noises. Even the lights went out for a split second. "What the...?" She turns around, trying to at least find the source of the sound, but to no avail. She slowly opens the door to her cell, slightly peeking her head out. Glancing at all of the windows that let her view other drones' cells, she noticed Nori wasn't there. She thought nothing of the sound, as she went back inside her own cell, not even bothering to go past the hall. Alice sits down and huffs, getting back to the tedious work she's required to do. 

Suddenly, the lights went out for a solid 5 seconds, and then they turned back on, but there were several crab-like appendages sticking out of the wall, and oil seeping from the edges of the ceiling. "Oh hell no!" Alice immediately scrambled towards the door, and ran down the hall, only to look up and see Nori, and Alice looks up at her, her eyes narrowing "Nori, you're not gonna fool me, this is all a joke, right...?" 

Nori turns toward Alice with a deranged look, smiling at her. "Oh yes. All a joke." Nori says in an automated sounding, monotone voice. It wasn't nori. It was the Solver, and it took full control over her. Alice backs up in pure terror, and the more she stares at Nori, the more it just gets worse. She crouches down underneath one of the desks with some technological equipment over it. Alice can hear the destruction around her, until something striked the back of her head. "Oof!-" She gets knocked out cold by one of the Solver's appendages, laying right where she is. Alice is just breathing faintly, not aware of the destruction the Solver is doing. 

...

After what seemed like hours, Alice finally wakes up groaning. "Ugh... my fuckin' head..." She says as she stands up, wobbling a bit. She looks around for anyone, only to see nobody. She slowly walks toward the hall that had all of the cells that belonged to all of her fellow test  subjects, but to her surprise, she didn't see anyone. Not even the human interns, either. Did everyone leave her? Did half of the drones leave her for dead? Or maybe forgotten about her? Alice was pissed, and she couldn't even think of a way to find the other drones. To her, it was all Nori's fault. Nobody came to check up on her after the destruction.

She was isolated. Alone.
