You, Tessa, N, V, Uzi, and Q had just received an SOS ping from the other side of Copper-9. The journey was long. Though Tessa convincing everyone to join her took longer.

The scene was a mess. There was a landing pod, akin to what N, V, and J had arrived in. But this was clearly repurposed into some sort of living quarter.

You heard a sound--grunting. Moving past the pod, all of you saw a person in a JcJenson spacesuit, the exact same type Tessa was wearing. Though this one lacked a name tag, so you couldn't tell who they were.

They had their back turned, unaware of your group's presence. You could clearly see that he was adorned with a multitude of drone parts, worker and disassembly alike, which acted as a suit of armor or exoskeleton.

He tore a part the drone he had seemingly killed, salvaging for parts. And when he turned around, he.. drew a cane? Never mind, it's not just a cane. He grabbed the top of it, drawing a Disassembly Drone sword, and when he spun the other part of the cane, it became a shield.
