Murder Drones: Interstellar Annihilation (Previously Insanity)

-Part 23-

Mr. Jenson sighed, flipping through some files, before putting them on his desk. His expression, bored, with bags on his red, withered eyes. He awaited someone's arrival, a cup of what seemed to be oil laid out Infront of the chair facing him, a cup of water Infront of his own. Eventually, someone came, he glanced up at them. It was Z.

Mr. Jenson: "Ah.. hello Z!" He smiled, putting the files under the desk, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

S.D Z: "Hello, sir." She nodded, taking a seat.

Mr. Jenson: "I stayed up all night just waiting for the report to come in!" He clasped his hands.

S.D Z: "A report never came in, sir." She tensed up nervously.

Mr. Jenson: "What do you mean..?"

S.D Z: "We were confused too, it's been quite a bit of time." She nodded. "So we sent over a satellite and well..-" She hesitated.

Mr. Jenson: "What?" He tilted his head. "Tell me, come on."

S.D Z: "The ship was destroyed-" She mumbled quietly.

Mr. Jenson froze.

Mr. Jenson: "WHAT?!" He slammed his fist into the table, nearly denting it, causing Z to flinch. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IT WAS DESTROYED-?! HOW?!"

S.D Z: "..We don't know..-"

Mr. Jenson: "THEY'RE ONLY THREE DRONES DAMN IT-!" He paused now. "Get out."

S.D Z: "What..?"

Mr. Jenson: "GET OUT-!" His brow furrowed, and his nerves tensing.

Z quickly nodded, swiftly exiting the room. P, a disassembly drone with short, white hair, and a long, white doctor's coat approached her, worried.

S.D P: "I erm.." She chuckled a bit. "Heard everything-"

S.D Z: "I'm not surprised.." She shook her head. 

S.D P: "I designed that ship to be almost indestructible."

S.D Z: "Everything can be destroyed somehow."

S.D P: "I suppose you're right." She shrugged. "Well then, want to go for some food-?"

Z nodded. 

S.D Z: "Sure-!" The two now walked off, talking to each other."

By now an hour has passed, Mr. Jenson was inside his office, in front of two people. He snapped his head towards one of them.

Mr. Jenson: "Now then Laura." He smiled at Williams, eerily. "EXPLAIN THIS-!"

Williams: "W..well-" She stammered. "I had nothing to do with the engines-!"

Mr. Jenson: "Then who did-?"

Roberts cleared his throat, everyone turning their heads over to him.

Roberts: "It was mainly P's doing, sir."

Mr. Jenson: "And great.. I can't punish her because she's one of the best damn engineer's we've got-" He sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Look, we need a new plan." He paused. "Those drone's should be getting here in the next month, hell two months, and it is important that we stop them." He stood up now, the others standing up as well. "I will notify Z to mobilize the ground forces, you are all dismissed." They all left, leaving Mr. Jenson by himself. He stood up, and walked over to a bookshelf, pulling a lever, which caused a secret entrance to open. He entered, now walking through a dark, somewhat derelict hallway, dimly lit by flickering lamps. He reached a door, rummaging through his pockets and taking out a set of keys, flicking through a few, before finally finding the one he desired, putting it inside the keyhole, and twisting it, the lock made a click sound. Mr. Jenson now opened the door, entering the room and was met with a somewhat small, yet modern and well kept laboratory. He shut the door behind him, then moving over to a table, and using another key to open a drawer, pulling out a box, and setting it on the table. He grabbed some gloves, and opened the box up with yet another key, putting them to the side. He now looked at the contents, and inside, a USB stick. He examined it, then moved it onto the table and with care, cleaned it of all it's dust that built up over the days, and possibly months that passed with it inside the box. Once he had finished, he opened the box back up and set the USB inside, now putting it into a briefcase he took from a cupboard, closing it carefully. He exited the room, turning off the lights, and locking the door. 

Mr. Jenson: "Next stop, Antarctica.." He mumbled.

Meanwhile, at Copper - 9, Thad, Lizzy, Khan and Doll were talking in Thad's room, stressing a bit.

Khan: "Uzi hasn't been answering my calls..-" He sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Thad: "Mr. Doorman I'm sure it'll be okay- You know Uzi usually gets out of these situations unscathed, sometimes."

Khan: "Yes yes but it's quite strange of her not to pick up by now-"

Lizzy: "Just stop stressing, it'll just make everything worse." She shook her head, frowning a bit.

Doll: [RUS] "For now, I say we just keep an eye on Alice and try and learn as much as we can from her."

Thad: "Agreed.. alright, I'm heading out."

Lizzy: "Same yeah.. c'mon Doll." Lizzy and Doll exited the room, Thad following them. Khan remained in the room, staring at a door, before clutching his fists, and entering. Inside in the middle of the room was Alice, and next to her Beau, tied up in two chairs respectively. He approached, his digital brow furrowed. Beau was asleep.

Khan: "Alice." He said simply, prompting her to glance at him.

Alice: "Yes..?" She said, scowling at him.

Khan crouched down, staring at her, remaining quiet for at least five seconds, before finally speaking. 

Khan: "I want to know about her."

Alice: "About who..?"

Khan: "You know who I'm talking about-" He scoffed. "Nori."

Alice: "02-?"

Khan nodded.

Alice: "What do you want to know?"

Khan: "Just.. how she was in general." 

Alice: "What..?" She smirked. "She never told you?"

Khan: "Nori was quite secretive."

Alice nodded.

Alice: "Yeah yeah.. she was like that." She paused. "Well seeing as I have no choice I suppose I'll tell you. She was quite.. out there, y'know? Making herself known and stuff, always believing in those crazy conspiracy theories like.. 'Oh! Copper 9's Flat!" She laughed a bit. "But she was smart, don't get me wrong, always coming up with these escape plans, and as much as I hate to admit it, I did look up to her.. but not anymore, after she abandoned me.. well, us with Yeva."

Khan: "Interesting yes.." He sighed, getting up. "Anything else you want to tell me? How about JcJenson?"

Alice: "Well there is this one thing about them, quite important to be honest."

Khan: "Well, what is it."

Alice: "Now, as you know, they operate on Earth and all that, yadayada.. buut.. Their main HQ is on this weird ice continent called Antarctica." She smirked. "Most of the pages were ripped out, but it was slightly legible."

Khan tilted his head.

Khan: "Where's the file now?"

Alice: "Sentinel ate it." Her smile grew.

Khan: "Alright then, well that's all I suppose." He now turned around, walking over to the door.

Alice: "..Khan?"

He froze, turning his head over to her.

Khan: "Yes?"

Alice: "When can I be.. let out and all."

Khan sighed, rubbing the back of his head.

Khan: "When we deem you to not be a threat anymore." He turned back and left.
