NARRATOR'S P.O.V
The claws of the creature that the workers feared so much were slowly opening the door, as the siren began to resound, Cyn didn't have much time to think when she was thrown to the other side.
With some difficulty one of them enters and approaches U, who is not at all happy to see them.
J: I never thought we'd be able to get into this Bunker, it seems like someone had an idea, Hey U, how did you get in?
V: U! Why didn't you tell us you were here, and what are those clothes?
J: It looks like you were taking this from that pile of corpses.
U: You guys couldn't be more discreet, could you?
V: Sorry, what?
U: I was looking for materials to fix the ship and the plan wasn't to draw too much attention, now how are we going to make these toasters give us the materials willingly without having to break our heads in the process and break everything or seal everything inside!
V: And why didn't you tell me this before? You know very well that we have to clean up this planet and this Bunker is an important part of what's left, remember to clean up the planet first and then fix the ship!
U: Then we can be disposed of later, wake up V, we've been here for 10 years, and they don't even bother to return your messages!
V: They won't come back because our leader is dead!
U: Do you still believe that?
J: Guys, there's an opening here that I think we can get through.
(He says in an attempt to stay focused, but is completely ignored.)
V: And the best thing would be to infiltrate these toasters and then fix the ship and then return to Earth to eradicate the humans.
U: That plan was working very well before you guys showed up, but it's still better than doing what they tell you.
V: U!
J:GIRLS!
(He steps in between them.)
J:I get your point, I get that you're mad at the company for ignoring us, and I also get that you're mad at U for still having this rebellion talk, but we can't waste time, they already know we're here, and they must have locked everything down. If we're lucky, there are still some left out, so we can discuss what we'll do after we reestablish our quota?!
(He says, butting in.)
V:Ugh, you're right, J. We don't need to waste time. U, we'll talk later when we exterminate what's left. You'll see that after that things will get easier for us, but for now, you stay here, we'll sort this out later.
U:Whatever.
(He crosses his arms, making the drone next to him roll its eyes in response.)
V goes ahead, entering the ducts.
J: Do you want me to look for something specific?
He asks, being answered by a not very pleasant look from U.
J: Okay, without meddling, I already got the message.
J also enters the duct, leaving an angry dismantler drone in this "entrance" and a teenage drone, confused and scared, who only had one thought "What the hell was that!", upon realizing that the two drones had left, he slowly came out of his hiding place, looking at the frustrated drone in front of him.
CYN: Was this part of your plan?
(He says more in an attempt to break this silence, which in response received a sigh from the other drone.)
No offense to what just happened?
.

.
Silence, this was not what Cyn really expected, always seeing these drones as relentless killers, but being in front of one that was angry, but was not attacking her, and knowing that until a few minutes ago she was talking to her, that confused her. And all this silence wasn't helping, she didn't want to keep asking questions and making the drone more frustrated than she already was, but she also didn't want to keep waiting, she just wanted something, anything.
A loud buzzing, the warning sound, well, at least it wasn't silent anymore, Cyn thought, but it was still annoying, Cyn felt uncomfortable, was she talking to one of the killer drones?
The questions remained, is it possible to warn that the drones are coming, Cyn saw that she could reach the adults by climbing, she tried to climb the machines, this being noticed by the taller drone.
U: What are you doing?
Cyn: Trying to climb.
(She says she was falling more than she was actually able to climb.)
U: Doesn't look like it.
(She says, approaching the worker drone and helping it sit down, that she supports its head with her hand.)
Cyn: Why you don't I kill me?
U is a little surprised by the question, but given the situation, she already knew she would be questioned.
U: Because I can't stand being on this planet anymore. At first it seemed like it would be quick, that we had a purpose for it, but now we're just testing our sanity by being isolated like this!
(She sits down next to Cyn.)
Killing you guys isn't beneficial anymore. We need the oil, but it still doesn't help us. You're smart, you know how this place works much better than we do. You know, it's much easier for us to just grab the parts to fix the ship and leave!
(She puts her hands on her face.)
And I'm venting to a teenager again!
Cyn: It seems like you needed this.
(Sighs)
U looks a little thoughtful.
U: Hey? That camera of yours that I left off for a moment, do you think it can keep the others off for longer?
Cyn: Well, I guess I just need to review the timer, but why?
U: Well, it's time for some changes, I'm tired of this, can you help me with this?
Cyn: Technically it's kind of my fault they're there, so let's go.
(Takes a screwdriver out of her bag and starts fiddling with the lens and camera.)
U: Great, I already have a plan, I'll distract J, that male drone, and you try to get that flash to hit V, the other dismantling drone that was here.
Cyn: Isn't that plan too dangerous? We don't think we can handle a killer drone.
U: You don't have to do much, V's vision is terrible and since she couldn't see it with the company, she won't bother you, so we have a bit of an advantage there.
(She gets up and crouches down next to Cyn, who knew behind her back.)
Cyn: Well, if you say so, by the way, your name is Serah.
U: You can still keep calling me that, I prefer it that way.
Cyn: Is your name just one letter too?
U: The company isn't creative with names.
Cyn: We noticed.
(She grabs U's neck.)
We're ready to go.
U flies up and enters the adult.
