Underground - (Stay away from the surface) PRE INSANITY

First wave - Hunting spree

A week later, Alice has moved on with the troubles of finding food, and actually started to teach beau how to make traps, even if he wasn't able to physically do anything. After all, it's not like she had anyone else to talk to. Beau doesn't even have the mind capacity to even have the thought that 'killing drones is bad'. And you might think she's consuming normal worker drone food, like batteries, but you would be wrong. To her, actual worker drones were better, and sustained her more, while beau didn't need food, since he obviously lacks a mouth. She moved on from the idea that murdering workers was wrong, even if they got left behind as well as her. Alice started training herself to get around on all fours since it made her 'smaller' and more unnoticeable, though drones aren't made to do something so unnatural. It was a kind of an unnerving sight to see such a once innocent drone to look so crazed, especially hunched over constantly welding a bunch of discarded drone parts together to make traps, and tools to make dissecting drones easier. 

Currently, she was working on some other modifications to add to herself once more, besides the tail she often uses to cut wires off the insides of other drones. It was those 'iconic' antlers she was putting together. She took off her helmet and started welding the metal antlers to the helmet, carefully. After a few moments, it was done. She could use the antlers to possibly ram into the drones unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Beau was sound asleep, surprisingly while Alice was making an awful lot of noise. She finally was able to wear them, so she put the helmet with the antlers attached, onto her head. 

"Hey Beau, look at what I-" She cuts herself off, wobbling a bit from the slight weight difference on her head, but she might at well get used to it, it's not necessarily 'heavy' per se, just something a bit new to her. Beau wakes up, blinking a couple of times before looking at Alice's current wobbly, physically unstable state. To him, he found it humorous and even giggled a little bit, as she looked back at him with a slight frown. "Don't laugh.... It's uh... A work in progress, yeah." Alice says awkwardly while finally managing to stand correctly. 

"Okay Beau, I'll be right back, I'm just gonna go and get some extra supplies n' stuff." She exits, as the door auto locks itself. 

As she lowers herself to the ground to go and travel on all fours, she keeps her head up, listening for any nearby drones left in the area. Alice suddenly hears a bit of movement from the corpse pile. Maybe the sentinels missed out on fully murdering a drone. She sighs, as she realizes she actually has to finish off the kill again this time. Turning around and walking over behind the pile, she sees a frightened, blue eyed worker, staring at Alice in horror. But before the helpless drone could even call out for anyone of fight back, Alice suddenly rammed into her, with those new antlers she recently made. 

The various objects adorning her antlers stabbed into the drone's body, making it to pained too even scream. "Come on, give me a little scream... Show me you absolutely want to live." Alice says, taking slight joy out of this. In her mind, pretending the drone was one of the drones that left her behind really made her regret this whole thing less. She wanted to hear the screams, the suffering. She kept on pushing the drone firmly against the wall with the sharp antlers, trying to get a noise out of it, only to hear a weak cry of help. Her tail stops swaying behind her in disappointment. "You can do better." Alice snarls as she bares her teeth and fully pushed her antlers in the drone's body once more, completely mutilating it's mid-section. Alice backs up, letting the corpse fall off the antlers completely. She stands upright and drags the whole corpse with her, back to the office with an almost tired expression.

She enters the code on the door and enters, effortlessly dragging the corpse into her office and laying it out on the hospital bed and covering it up with an old sheet before turning to Beau smiling, even if it's crazed like usual. "Beau, we're so lucky, this drone has a bunch of spare parts for me, so y'know, if I get injured, I'll always be okay..." She says, although with a slight bit of doubt, knowing she probably won't always survive every hunting spree she has. Beau of course, doesn't respond with actual words, he just responds with the random happy cooing he always does. 

Alice boops him with the tip of the knife attached to her tail playfully, although not actually harming him in anyway. She then takes off her helmet, before laying next to Beau on the hospital bed, and holds onto him, almost in a protective manner since he's a baby after all, anything can happen to him. They both were already asleep, but Alice was way more tired from today since she had to kill someone by ramming into them with her antlers on all fours repeatedly. Beau was probably the only thing keeping her sane. 

For now.
