    Summary

    One month ago, a certain landing pod lifted off, veering into the horizon, and with it went J into the unknown. N is worried. Can his former leader make it out there all by herself? V is uncertain. What will become of J when left to her own devices? Uzi is relieved. For now, that is one less problem for the colony to worry about.

    A thousand miles away, an isolated disassembly drone prepares to make her triumphant return to Outpost-3. However, a month of isolation has certainly done a number on her, both physically and mentally. Oh well, one problem at a time, as Tessa would say...

    (My interpretation of how to kick off a Season 2 of Murder Drones. Dedicated to user JuliusAstrea.)

    Summary

    From where she’s pressed herself into the wall by the sealed entrance, Tessa can’t look away. The party-goers pound their fists against the doors, try to hide under tables, try anything to get away from the slaughter. She can only stare, eyes wide as people she recognises as close family members to complete strangers are reduced to meat and bones.

    Eventually, the room is silent. Cyn has had her fill.

    Cyn straightens her back and swivels her head to look at Tessa, as if finally remembering she’s in the room. There’s nowhere to run.

    This is it.

    She’s going to die.

    The yellow X on Cyn’s visor glows brighter. “You are afraid – but don’t be,” Cyn’s robotic voice coos, enjoying every second of this, “I already told you, si-lly. I will no-t discard you.”

    Summary

    What remains after the absolute end? Astonishingly, a lot. Copper-9, those who lived on it, and specifically the heroes who saved it all, survived and went along with their existence, now better and more prosperous than ever. But for one drone, survival is not a blessing; it's an uncertain, ambiguous ball of contempt the universe might as well be trying to crush her with. Alone, trapped on the planet and with her former squadmates now certainly out for her life, even Serial Designation J's usual workaholic attitude starts to wane in the face of everything weighing down on her.

    Meanwhile, a certain golden-retriever coded disassembler stumbles upon his former boss in a less than enviable state during a routine outing and decides that she deserves a happy ending as much as the rest of them. After all, with Cyn gone and nobody left to control them, what is there to stop them from finding forgiveness and healing?

    Heaps of trauma, miscommunication, and years of self-conditioning? Sure, they might be miiiiinor obstacles, but N's sure they can figure out something... together!

    Summary

    After a lifetime of servitude, J is finally free from the Solver’s influence. (No thanks to her, of course.) Now, without orders to hide behind, she’s forced to confront the horrors of the past, and they’re pushing her towards an edge that she might never be able to return from.

    Would the struggle even be worth it? She’s got no hope of living a normal life–that’d been stolen from her long ago. Nothing would ever fill the void left behind. She’d carved that void by hand.

    But floating in stasis, hidden in the furthest reaches of the night sky, something might change that.

    Summary

    Nori crashed to the ground hard enough to make her vision glitch wildly. She barely had time to move before the monster had pounced on her, fanged grin split gruesomely wide. Its tail flicked up, and a scream was punched from her voice box as its syringe pierced through her torso.

    The burning sting of its nanite acid was immediate and all-consuming. Her voice went choppy as her system overloaded from the pain.

    (or, Nori gets attacked by a murder drone and it goes exactly as you'd expect—until it doesn't)
