After what was almost a week, Alice could feel her mind getting messed up, and for her, it almost felt like she was sleep deprived. But she didn't want to sleep, not without entertainment. she heads toward the control panel with the various computer screens. She flicks on the power switch, the screens lighting up the dim area fully. Alice stares at the screen, almost bored. That is, until she catches the sight of a sentinel boot-looping and mauling a literal disassembly drone. She winces at the sight of it, but also the slightest bit intrigued. Was she actually enjoying the sight of other drones suffering? Maybe she is, but she just doesn't know it yet. The sentinels head towards little containment cells, where they 'rest'. 

Alice looks down at the control panel, pressing a random button, which ends up closing off the sentinels cells completely. "Oh.... pretty convenient, huh?" She gets up, and resets the pin code for the door, so only she can come inside her new 'home'. The pin is reset to '3859', and she smiles slightly, knowing she has this whole place all to herself. Maybe it wasn't so bad that half of the drones left her. She fully opens the door, re-entering the code and heading out, to inspect that boot-looped disassembly drone. She walks over to the corpse, her posture a bit off. Alice grabs the tail of the drone, before yanking it harshly to drag it to her office. "Move, goddamnit, move!" She exclaims, pulling it so hard that it rips off completely, the unexpected disconnection of the tail sending her falling backwards, on her back. The nanite acid nearly seeped out directly on the place where her core is located, but she shifted away just in time, looking at the disconnected tail in amusement. She gnaws at the top of it, pulling and tearing the actual tail apart from the nanite acid tube/stinger. 

Although completely detached, the tail was still squirming around a bit, much like a lizard's. Alice looked down at it, contemplating on what to do with it. She paces around, thinking of a way to use it for her own efficiency. She can't logically have the nanite acid circulate through her like a disassembly drone, but then she got an idea. Her eyes locked on a shard of metal, more like a kitchen knife. She grabbed it by the handle and connected it with the tip of the detached, now limp tail. She spent around a solid 2 minutes curling the tip of the tail around the knife and tying it. "Eh, not bad, not bad at all-" She paused. Now the problem, how would she attach it to herself while having control over it? She simply just has to cut a small opening in her very lower back, and connect the wires the the tail's wires accordingly. She did so precisely, with the already attached knife. She started already connecting the wires carefully. Again, she was finally done, and she attempted to move her new tail. It surprisingly swayed a little bit, and she felt like a genius. (I AM A SURGEONNN/ref) 

Now, she thought about modifying herself even more in the future, but for now, she would just take a break, and get some rest. It's been days after all... Leaving the corpse behind, Alice heads back over to her office, her tail swishing contently behind her. she enters that same code '3859', enters, and closes the door behind her. She's absolutely tired, as she basically goes deadweight on the hospital bed, closing her eyes for once, entering sleep mode peacefully.
