Uzi
Whoa -- and they said pirating all that anime was useless.
Uzi
Ugh!
Uzi
[wails]
Uzi
[shouts]
Uzi
[through speaker] Bite me.
Uzi
Holy hell. Suck on that, Dad!
Uzi
Huh?
Uzi
Rrrrruuugh!
N
Did you just slap me with that arm?
Uzi
Holy crap, it talks.
N
Yeah, sorry -- it's just, my, uh, head kinda hurts. Hey, are you new to our squad? You're a little, uh...
N
...short for a Disassembly Drone.
N
I'm serial designation N! Nice to meet you. I'm kind of the leader of the squad in this city. That's not true. Everyone tells me I'm useless and terrible. Wait, I-I'm not supposed to tell you that part!
N
Biscuits.
N
[sighs] Well, honesty is the best policy.
N
[chuckles] I also can't seem to remember the past three hours of my life. Ah, but I'm sure that'll sort itself out!
N
[chuckles]
Uzi
Uh-huh. I, uh, have to... go.
Uzi
[hisses through teeth]
Uzi
[groaning]
N
Oof, stuck yourself? Just pop it in your mouth. Our saliva neutralizes the nanites. Otherwise, I'd be constantly disassembling myself. Heh!
Uzi
And by "our saliva," you mean...
Both
Disassembly Drone?
Uzi
Right. Hey, let's go in that landing pod over there.
N
Sure! I love doing anything!
N
Bleh. Sweet. Uh...
N
[chuckles] I'm open to new things, I guess.
Uzi
We are never talking about this.
N
Talking about what?
N
[laughs] Consider it, uh, repressed.
Uzi
Uh, you mentioned other members of your squad? Are they coming back soon?
N
Oh, yeah -- two others. Uh, they're out hunting for a bit, but you'll love them. First, there's V.
Worker Drone
[grunts]
Worker Drone
No, no! Please, don't feed me my own entrails in front of my family!
Child Drone
Daddy!
Worker Drone
Oh, my God!
V
[laughs] And yet, I still feel nothing.
N
So, V, uh...
N
[chuckles nervously] I heard this planet-wide toxic death storm is supposed to be especially inhospitable tonight.
V
Huh? Oh, God! Who are you?
N
Uh, no worries! I'm N! But a-a whole letter is a lot to remember!
N
[chuckles lamely] So, obviously a lot of mutual respect there. But secretly, I actually kind of have a crush on her. You can't tell her, okay?!
N
[chuckles] Uh, then, there's J -- our leader!
J
[growls] N, you're worthless and terrible.
N
[choking] Thank you.
J
And if the company allowed it,
J
I would straight up kill you myself.
N
J's awesome. Hey, let me give you the tour -- outside of the corpse... wall thingies. In here are the buttons!
Uzi
This isn't just a landing pod.
N
No, I -- uh-- uh, the Worker Drones -- This could get us off the planet.
Uzi
More of a one-use missile. They never taught us how to land.
N
No, I -- uh-- uh, the Worker Drones -- we could work with them to fix this Instead of all the murder! Which, uh -- why are we doing that again?
Uzi
Other than ingesting their... [deep, spooky voice] ...warm, sweet... [normal voice] ...oil to avoid overheating and dying?
N
I guess I just want to be useful. I was given a job, and I always wanna try my best.
Uzi
And look at all the respect it's gotten you, N. You really think the company isn't going to dispose of you once all the workers are dead?
N
Oh, my! You sure are rebellious. It's kind of exciting. U-Uh, but not as fun as, uh, following the rules.
N
Hey, they're back! You'll -- U-Uh...
J
[muffled] Idiot, get out here!
V
[laughs] Yo, we got a worker out there I kind of wanna practice balloon animal shapes with.
J
What happened here?
J
Synergistic liability here must have tripped and knocked himself offline. Moron bot. Hello?
Uzi (voice playing back)
You really think the company isn't going to dispose of you once all the workers are dead? Bite me.
J
Oh. Ohhhhh! You know, I-I-I left an e-extremely dangerous weapo-- uh, an excuse o-outside.
J
[chuckles] I am out, boys.
V
Oh, gosh darn it.
N
Wait until my loving wife and kids hear about this.
Uzi
Ugh, bite me. Close it, close it!
N
Hey, fellas! Ooh, deal me in! I love Rummy! Wait, no. Tsk. I'm going to murder everyone. Rain check!
WDF Drone
Gah!
WDF Drone
Oh, God!
WDF Drone
[chuckles] Um, actually? It's Gin Rummy, so...
Thad
Hey, Uzi! I just realized no one has, uh, said my name aloud so far. So I'm just letting you know, I'm R--
Uzi
Pretty nice hydraulics, huh?
Khan
Wha-- What have you done?
Uzi
This time, I won't miss.
N
[chuckles] I'm sorry. I really enjoyed our time together. But I can't have you shooting V with that thing.
Uzi
Bite me. Dad, get down.
Khan
Uzi, you led a Murder Drone here?! [tearfully] My beautiful doors!
Uzi
Now is so not the time! I messed up -- in the same way I'm about to fix it. Move, Dad!
Uzi
D-Dad! P-Point and shoot! Trust me!
Uzi
Dad?
V
Whoa, N.
V
[giggles]
J
Whoa!
J
Am I dreaming, or did you do something not useless for once?
J
I've been trying to get past those doors for months. Nice work, N.
N
You... me... name... remember?
J
These ventilation shafts can easily get us around this last door. Lowest body count eats a missile!
J
[laughs]
V
Way to go, stud. The company's gonna love this.
N
[chuckles] Ow.
J
With this colony wiped, we'll make top team this quarter for sure.
J
[sing-song] You know what that means. Branded pe-ens!
V
Ooooh.
N
[chuckles]
N
Uh, you know, not that I can't wait to keep murdering all these, uh... maybe not-so-actually-different from us Worker Drones,
N
but just outta curiosity, do we actually, uh... [hisses through teeth] know what the company plans to do with us afterwards?
J
Excuse me?
N
Okay, so, a Worker earlier might have suggested that they could fix up our landing pod to, uh, escape the planet and stuff. Which -- Whoa, hey, that's against the rules! But it is kind of making me question why our pods were only-one way in the first place. 'Cause, y-you know, I get the feeling the company doesn't actually love robots, and, like, we might be robots?
N
I've made a terrible mistake. It's cool how immediately I could tell.
