(A/N: I wanted to write where does the tools Uzi uses come from for the another chapter so it might be boring to some, but I find it necessary. But besides that, enjoy)


Uzi awoke to weight on her. She got startled at first but then she remembered what happened yesterday and she was very grateful for having her 'little' friend.

It was decided. She would fix it as soon as she could, but to do that she had to improve the conditions she complained about the most. Today she would finish renovating her bunker, and that was her plan for today.

Once the lavender eyed drone had climbed out of her mattress she covered her new companion with her blanket. He no longer had any oil on him because almost all of the wounds were plugged with bandages she had found in the first aid kit at the very beginning of her exile. That's right... Bandages... She had to change hers. The purple-haired drone didn't like the fact that her wounds didn't seem to want to heal, but there was nothing she could do about it. Unfortunately, her head still hurt, and the scary part was that she was starting to get used to it.

Uzi got her backpack and took some AA alkaline batteries for breakfast this time and after that she headed to the same large shopping mall she had already been to. It still made a big impression on her.

Once inside, Uzi immediately went to an electronics store and took 3 extension cords, lots of cables, a strong and solid desk lamp and a large LED strip That's all she took from that store.

The next shop was a hardware store. Sure, the short drone had a few tools, but she wanted something better. And she found it. It was something like a suitcase, and there were some screwdrivers, a meter, cutters, universal pliers and more. The thing she also found was insulating tape and larger amounts of tin and rosin for soldering smaller systems with high precision. She took it with her and went to her bunker. The whole trip took her about 3 hours because she was a bit picky and wanted the best things possible and not some crappy junk.

After she put her ballast away and emptied her backpack, Uzi grabbed another battery for a snack and headed back to the paradise that was this huge shopping mall.
She had lighting, tools to modify that glowing green thing, so the only thing left for her was a desk. Preferably even two. On one of them she would keep important things like a laptop, and on the other desk, her tools and projects such as her Railgun. 

After a while of looking around all the floors, she finally managed to find a furniture store. The short drone knew the trip would take her longer if she had to lug all of this behind her, so previously the purple-haired drone had also been looking for an easier form of transportation. And she found it. A transport trolley. Awesome. After a rather long, one hour search for the ideal desks for her needs, she found 2 that were perfect for her taste: large, black and sturdy. She took them with her and went back to her bunker.

After unpacking her new items again, Uzi wanted to take a short break, but she knew that if she wanted to finish her plan today, she didn't have time to waste.

The lavender eyed drone wanted to change her bandages. They were already soaked in her oil and it irritated her a lot. She took her phone and pointed the front camera at her visor and carefully removed the bandages. Uzi didn't like what she saw. Her right eye was still glitching but what was strange was that every now and then some strange yellow symbol would appear. She remembered her nightmare. That thing used the same symbol to catch her and then eat her. At some point, the symbol stayed longer and the glass of her phone cracked.

- "You got to be shitting me. I literally just got it!" - The purple-haired drone shouted in frustration. Just brilliant, right? No, just great. Her brand new phone already had cracks.

- "I'm just sick of this shit. Again, my beloved sine wave. Thank you! Ughhhh... Oh well. I'll just put on new bandages. Maybe this time it'll heal? Small chance but at least not zero, right?" - She wondered out loud and did as decided. Uzi also changed the bandage on her hand and went to this mall for the last time today.

The trip was the same as the previous ones. She still had the trolley and planned to find a decent bed. One had already caught her eye when she was here for the desks. It was also black like the rest of the future she had for now. The short drone also found dark purple bedding so good for her. After taking a few more pillows, big and small as well as a brand new clean and comfortable mattress and some black shelves, finally she went towards the exit, but before she did she found some nice posters, some blueprint paper, technical pencils and their leads, black pens, felt-tip pens, and finally, merch from her favorite anime. She'll deal with the walls another time, because for now she just wants to lay in bed and never move.

This day was very successful. The lavender eyed drone finally managed to make it before the sun went down. She no longer had to worry about being attacked by V, N or any other murder drone. At least not today that is.

Tomorrow she would set up and assemble everything as well as work on repairing the Sentinel more thoroughly. Speaking of, it looked a bit better, and those little repairs she did seemed to work. When she finally laid down, the dinosaur's head immediately went onto her lap, snuggling up to her. The purple-haired drone found it very cute and scratched it under the neck and to her surprise the sentinel started wagging its tail. Uzi drifted off to sleep, totally forgetting about murder drones who promised that they'll be back...

(A/N: here you go. The Absolute Solver makes an appearance! Hurray! Worry not, N and V will appear in the next chapter.)
