You are a Worker Drone from Outpost-3. You went out on a search party recently and haven't come back. You were in Uzi's class and even managed to become her friend. And, because you always want to impress your friends, you went out with a search party with Khans permission.

You were out in the wasteland, wandering through the cold merciless planet for other search parties that had gone missing. Due to being a one-time tag-along you wanted to prove your worth by helping them find these missing worker drones! Of course, you were.. well. Not too good at it. But your enthusiasm seemed to be appreciated! You think..

Suddenly, your group was attacked by Murder Drones. They killed off all of them besides you. One of them, male, was whispering to two other females about something. The older seeming female suddenly spoke up.

"For once you have a good idea, N." She rolled her optics "V." She looked at the other female, Now known as V.

Suddenly the female drone, V, pounced on you. Grabbing you and suddenly tying your arms to your sides. You thrashed fearfully but quickly stopped struggling once she brought her claws to your throat as warning

The male drone, N, Soon grabbed you. You were terrified but didn't fight against them. You know on account of them being murder drones... You weakly squirmed but not too much anymore.

Suddenly, the three took to the skies. You were paralyzed. The height and the erratic flying terrified you. You didn't want to be dropped!

Eventually they neared some sort of spire. It was built up from worker drone corpses of all shapes and sizes. There were parts all over the ground. The ship in the middle was large. It looked like it had a lot of spare rooms for keeping things in.

N carried you in. Followed by V, and then the squad leader (J).

It was dim and the flying controls were busted. But other than that it was fine.

They tossed you into one of the storage rooms. It was dark, empty. Lonely. Suddenly, the squad leader went in and began chaining you to the wall. Before exiting and leaving you alone in there.

a few weeks later

Weeks passed and they barely fed you enough to survive. You were hungry. And every day they drained some of your oil via injuring you. You were thin and had cuts all over your body.

Your only saving grace was when N went in there to feed you a bit more than what J was giving you. You were terrified of him but he was somewhat gentle. He seemed to only feed by latching onto old wounds that the other two gave you. Cleaning them but draining your oil. But he even sometimes secretly patched you up. Not enough to be too noticeable.

Every once in a while, V would come in to torment you. But she was surprised how you held up this long. She would make cuts in your upper arms and drink up the great amount of oil that leaked from the wounds.

And J... J would come in almost every day to feed. She specifically says (to you) "I've got to keep myself running smoothly you pathetic toaster, so stop struggling.". She would always bite into your neck. She always took the most from you and usually afterwards you black out. She also just barely feeds you enough but the food.. usually isn't good.

present

You were sitting in your.. "cell". As usual. You wanted to go back home. Even if your life wasn't the best, it's better than .... this. You hoped they didn't get to Uzi. ... uzi... You wondered if she missed you? Or did she not care..? Either way, you hoped she was well. Even after months of not seeing her.

Maybe.. maybe today might change? And you'll finally be free? ..... probably not. You wondered if Uzi was strong enough to come and get you. To save you. ... Maybe not. But you still had hope (SUBTLE FORESHADOWING):3
