(HEHEHEHEHHEEH-)

The pod landed rather quickly. It seems the humans know what they're doing. Before I could leave, the hatch was torn open.

"Serial Designation J. Now come and replace this guy already!" It was a disassembly drone.

"Can I set foot on the planet first or are you just gonna be annoying?" I asked.

"Chit Chat later." Was the only response I got.

"Yeah, thanks for the 'warm welcome'." I said sarcastically.

I exited the landing pod, already annoyed.

"So, I'm assuming you play the leader?" I asked.

"I don't 'play' the leader. I am the leader." J said.

I scoffed. I'm already done with this girl. Rude.

"Don't give me an attitude. You have to listen to me and make sure you do your job right. Obviously something that N doesn't do." J said bitterly.

"I still have yet to meet this guy." I started. "He can't be that bad."

"You'd be surprised." J said sarcastically.

I was about ready to jam a weapon into her head but for now, I'll keep cool. For now. For now are the keywords.

"So far, we've managed to take down a few worker drones. But we haven't wiped out this one colony." J started. "They have these doors they hide behind. None of us can get past them."

"And you're telling me this why?"

"I'm telling you this so you're aware, moron bot."

"Keep talking and I'll jam your processor."

"What?"

"Nothing!!"

I grinned. It'll be fun to mess with her. She rolled her eyes.

"We're flying there so we don't waste time." J said.

"Okay, mom."

"Hey!"

"Get used to it. You're stuck."

And with that, we both flew upwards. J started leading me to the base, snarky comments about N coming from her. I almost feel bad for the guy. Who am I kidding? I don't know that loser. I bet he's trash.

"Explain N in a way that isn't composed to fit into you're small hard drive." I said.

"My hard drive isn't small! Anyways, he's kind. We're not supposed to be kind. And he's too awkward! And annoying! His stupid voice makes me want to tear him to shreds and I would if the company allowed it!"

"Is he still alive?"

"Yes! Why couldn't he just overheat! Ugh!"

"He's at least doing his job." I rolled my eyes. "If he didn't, he'd be dead. We need the oil."

"I know! But he doesn't hunt enough! He only takes what he needs and calls it a day! I'm sick of it!"

"So you're saying he's just a freeloader?"

"Precisely."

I rolled my eyes yet again. Then I saw a huge, dark spire.

"That's the corpse spire. The pod is inside. We made the spire to survive the sun." J said.

"Pathetic. I can withstand the sun." I smirked.

"Ugh! Why were you built better?!"

"Because I was worked on a little longer. Besides, I'm a newer model. I should be advanced."

"Stop acting like you own us!"

"Tch. Says you."

"Repeat that!"

"You heard me."

We both had flew into the spire, landing near a broken landing pod. The spire was literally made of dead worker drones.

"Inside. Now." J pointed to the landing pod.

I rolled my eyes and went to enter. Inside were two other Disassembly drones.

"This her?" The female one asked.

"Yeah." J said. "This is Serial Designation N2."

"A name like mine??" The male one asked with an excited tone.

"Yeah."

"Ooooooooh! You're so cool! I'm Serial Designation N!"

So this was the guy...

"Serial Designation V." The female said.

"Is N2 a new member of our squad??" N asked.

"Yep. Number three." J said.

N looked puzzled. "Three? I thought I was three?"

I actually felt bad for the guy. How in the world do I already wanna be friends with him?!

"I'm... uh-..." I didn't wanna make him sad. HOW AM I ALREADY ATTACHED?!

"She's here to replace you, moron bot." V said.

"...what...?" N asked, smile absolutely demolished and replaced with a sad look.

"Yeah. All you do is keep yourself from overheating and return!" J said. "N2 here was sent to take your place. The company isn't happy with you, N."

"What were your instructions for when you get here?" V asked me.

"I was instructed to disassemble him if he doesn't perform well. But here's the catch; I don't do anything until I see for myself." I said.

"Ugh! We have to wait longer?!" V groaned.

I saw that N had a slight feeling of hope.

"I'll do my best!" N saluted.

I nodded toward him. I actually smiled for the first time. Maybe this won't be too bad?

HELLO- I DON'T POST ENOUGH I'M SORRY-

But yeah. I made a new chapter! Yay! I had barely any ideas. I re-wrote this chapter three times.

BYEEEE
