Murder Drones: Interstellar Annihilation (Previously Insanity)

-Part 12-

Thad was sitting in his room, and was on his phone. His visor displayed what seemed to be a mixture of boredom, and sadness. He set his phone on a table next to the chair, and simply stared off into the distance, thinking. Suddenly, his phone began vibrating, his ringtone playing. Someone was calling him. Thad sighed, and reached for his phone, answering it.

Thad: "..Yes?" He said, tired.

Uzi: "..Thad.." She paused. "Thad are you there-?"

Thad: "Oh- Uzi! What.. what do you need?"

Uzi: "Well.. I need you to get going to find an outpost.. alright?"

Thad: "Oh- Yeah, alright. Want me to bring the others?"

Uzi: "Mhm.. well, I've got to go. Bring a weapon or something with you, just to be safe, alright?"

Thad: "Sure, yeah." He nodded, Uzi ended the call. Thad pocketed his phone, and walked over to his door, opening it. He now made his way over to Lizzy's room. Thad knocked on her door upon his arrival, awaiting for her to answer it, and after a couple seconds, the door opened.

Doll: [RUS] "Oh, hello Thad." She said in her usual monotone voice.

Thad: "Hey Doll! Is Lizzy in there?"

Doll nodded.

Thad: "Where is she then-?"

Doll: [RUS] "LIZZY-!" Doll shouted.

Lizzy: "WHAT-?" She responded, shouting back.

Doll: [RUS] "THAD IS HERE!"

After a few seconds, Lizzy walked over, standing by Doll.

Thad: "Hey Liz." He waved, smiling.

Lizzy: "..Hey.. what do you need?"

Thad: "Well, we've got to go do what Uzi wanted us to do."

Lizzy: "Really..? Now?"

Thad: "Yes now.. c'mon, let's go get Mr. Doorman."

Lizzy groaned.

Lizzy: "Fine.. fine." She sighed. "C'mon Doll."

Doll nodded, and the three set off to Khan's room. Once they arrived, Thad knocked on the door.

Khan: "Yes yes! Hold on!" He opened the door. "Ah.. what do you guys need?"

Thad: "We've got to go do the thing.. remember?"

Khan: "Ah yeah.. sure sure.. just, let me get something, alright?"

Thad: "Of course!" 

Khan walked back into the room, and after a few minutes, emerged, holding three items. He handed them over to Lizzy, Thad, and Doll. They appeared to be weapons of sorts.

Lizzy: "What are these..?"

Khan: "Weapons of course-! Lizzy you got a shock baton.." He now turned his head over to Doll. "..You've got a metal bat.. well it's pretty obvious." He now turned over to Thad. "And you've got a pistol! I made them in my spare time."

Thad: "..Sick-" He said, chuckling a bit.

Doll: [RUS] "Thank you, Mr. Doorman."

Khan grabbed a fire axe.

Khan: "It's no problem-! Now we should really get going, we don't want to waste any time.." They all now put their weapons away, but still on person.

They now walked over to the blast doors, Khan rummaging through his pocket and pulling out the Door Master Key, using it on each door. They exited the colony, Thad being in front, leading them all. As they walked further, they heard the sounds of the door shuts, even if it was rather faint.

Lizzy: "So how will we know where to look?"

Thad: "Uzi sent me a picture of some good places to check out." He took his phone out, typing in the password, and then opened the image. "Follow me." Thad began following the map, leading them to the closest location. The wind was cold, the atmosphere lonely and depressing, however, it wasn't too dark. It took them at least an hour to get to their desired location, which was what seemed to be a hole, with some rusty metal stairs leading to the bottom. "..Well then, let's go." Thad said, as they approached the stairs, delving into the unknown.

Doll: [RUS] "..I do not like this place." Doll remarked, her guard up.

Lizzy: "..Agreed, it gives me the creeps to be honest-" She nodded in agreement.

Their footsteps echoed throughout the area, seemingly being the only sound that could be heard. Eventually, they made it to the end of the stairwell, their feet touching what seemed to be concrete. The area was dark, causing Thad to switch on his flashlight.

Khan: "..I see a sign over there.." He gestured over to some writing. Lizzy walked over to it, beginning to inspect it.

Lizzy: "Some of the writing's faded, all I can read is.. 'JcJenson.. Bin.. Er.. Abs..'.

Doll: [RUS] "Well at least we know it's owned by JcJenson, right?"

Thad: "..Mhm, now c'mon, let's not waste any time." Thad walked further, stopping at a door. He twisted the knob, and surprisingly, it opened. He now turned off the flashlight, as the room that he was met with was already illuminated by light. Khan, Lizzy and Doll followed him. As they made there way through the room, which had a receptionist's desk in the center, and some chairs scattered around, they found another door. The lock on this door was already broken, laying on the floor, allowing them to open it with ease. This time, the room was big, and contained a large amount of office cubicles. 

Lizzy: "What is all this..?" Lizzy said in a whisper.

Khan: "..No idea.." He mumbled, shaking his head. He was as confused as she was.

Suddenly, they all heard footsteps. Thad quickly pulled Lizzy into a room, followed by doll, and then Khan. He shut the door, and looked through the keyhole.

Doll: [RUS] "..What do you see..?"

Thad: "..Shh.." He replied. "Be quiet." As he looked through the keyhole, he spotted a creature shaped like a dinosaur of sorts. "..What is..?" As he focused more, he realized it was a robot, as well as the fact that it was munching on a worker. "Holy.." He backed away from the door.

Lizzy: "What is it?"

Thad: "..It's a..-" Before Thad could finish, they were interrupted the faint noise of crawling. They all looked around the room, and eventually, looked up at the ceiling, were they were met with neon orange eyes.

???: "..Hey there surface slickers!" The voice called out, before whatever this thing was jumped down and slowly, one at a time, knocked them all out.
