"We've got to curb her trips to the dump." A male voice said.

Then there was a robotic butler holding a tray of wine glasses. A Worker Drone.

"And where is she getting the hair to play 'dress-up' with them?" A shadowy figure asked, it was the voice from before. "Creepy."

He threw the wineglass he was holding onto the tray the drone held, causing all the other stacked glasses to lose balance. The drone threw the tray in the air, bowing before catching it and the glasses. It switched hands as it rushed away. The drone walked across the indoor balcony-like structure before looking out the window. There was a thunderstorm outside. The skies were green and dark. The moon was huge.

The butler continued to walk before running into a maid and dropping the tray of glasses.

"Oh! I-I'm sorry!" The butler stammered.

"I-It's okay! I-I wasn't looking-!" The maid stuttered.

They both went to reach for the glass, their hands sparking on contact. They quickly looked at each other, both blushing. They looked at each other for a second before the butler was kicked down, causing a yelp of surprise to come from him.

"Move it, moro-" The maid who kicked him started before turning around and changing her tone of voice. "Hiiiii Tessa! Oh no... another one?"

There stood the figure of a young girl. A maid beside her.

"Hi, Ness!" The butler said.

"Hello, N!" The maid greeted softly with a small smile.

Another maid came out from hiding behind the girl before smiling. The butler, who was still on the floor looked absolutely terrified.

...

N's systems started up as he left sleep mode. He looked around, seeming scared before he fell from where he was sleeping and hit the ground. He sat up, holding his head before pulling out his claws and seemed to examine them.

"N! I found something here!" Uzi's voice was muffled since she was inside the landing pod but N heard her.

Inside stood Uzi, holding some form of badge. She then looked in a mirror, uncovering part of her face before one of her eyes turned to some form of symbol, causing it to shatter. She then looked worried.

V turned around in her chair, one of her hands being a bubble wand as I leaned on the control panel.

"That's weird and concerning." V said smugly.

"Bite me." Uzi said, looking at her. "This is probably you weirdos' fault!"

"I didn't do anything." I said, turning my hand to a bubble wand as well. "I was just sitting right here, hating my existence because I'm chained to Little Miss Psycho right here."

"I've never seen that symbol before." V said, ignoring my previous statement. "Wanna do an autopsy to find out...?"

N came down the ladder. "What'd you find?"

Uzi then smacked the badge onto N's hat. "Did you know that was the pilot hat?"

She kicked the chair she was standing on from underneath her.

"I was the pilot?!" N asked. "That's aweso-! I crashed and ruined everything..."

I looked at him, now concerned.

"Spaceship pilot; origin story." N said as he pointed finger guns at V.

V hissed at him before going back to blowing bubbles innocently.
