Chapter Text
-Year 3071
In the far reaches of space there is a planet that's called Copper-9. There are multiple cities and mining outposts for copper. Where worker drones are working and humans overlooking them. But that isn't as important as what's happening in the laboratory near the core of the planet.
-----
-No PoV
A worker drone comes out of his office to look to his job. He's quite tall compared to other workers. He has White eyes, messy white hair that have some black strands and he wears a official JCJenson worker grey coat with grey pants. On his coat it has a name tag that reads.
Davy Reinhardt, level 9 clearance, supervisor.
As he was walking out, a human in a hazmat suit yelled out to him.
???: "Hey D!"
Davy turns to him. Obviously annoyed.
Davy: "What?"
???: "One of the Solver drones is not collaborating with us"
Davy: "Again?"
*Sighs*
Davy: "Which one is it?"
???: "Uhhhh.. the one with purple hair"
(Great that sure narrows it down)
Davy:"is it Nori or Yeva?"
???:"Ah.. yes Nori That's her name"
Davy: "Great"
He says under his breath.
As he starts walking the hallway he hears the drones talking about how there are less humans than before and where they might have gone. He also hears one talking about the trash cans and how it's a menace to society.
-----
After walking down the third hallway on the left, searching for a room that has 002.
He finally finds it and knocks on the door.
*Knock* *Knock*
Nori: "who's there!?"
Davy: "it's me"
Nori: "Oh, is it you D?"
Davy: "...Yes"
The door opens slowly. Behind it stands a drone with purple eyes and hair. She wears a short black dress, and a black choker on her neck with the number 002. After seeing him, she suddenly became energised.
He smells a hint of Jasmine from her.
(I guess no matter if you're a woman or a drone, perfume is always there) He thinks to himself.
He still doesn't understand why the Solver drones are different to him and other worker drones that are in this place.
Nori: "Oh, Why are you here? I didn't do anything wrong, right?"
Davy: "Apparently you are not working with the humans with their experiments"
Nori: "Oh that..."
She fidgets a bit and reluctantly says.
Nori: "I don't really want to go"
*Sigh*
Davy sighs yet again. Feeling a headache about to rise.
Before he can say anything. He hears a Worker drone comes by.
???: "how are you getting on D?
Davy: "As usual"
The drone says while walking towards him. Then it noticed Nori.
???: "Hey Nori, how's your day going?"
Nori: "Fine I guess. What about you Khan?"
Davy looked at Khan, the unreliable.
Khan is a Worker Drone with white eyes and a fake black mustache. His outfit consists of a grey jacket, black boots, and a blue construction helmet with red safety goggles.
Khan: "Absolutely fantastic! I got to fix the main doors!"
(Of course you're happy about that) They both thought.
Davy: "Whatever makes you happy"
Rolling his eyes. His reminder went off, so he says to Nori.
Davy: "I have to go now"
Nori: "What for?"
Davy: "Overseeing the research of 048"
Khan: "Yeva? That odd Russian drone?"
Davy walks away from them as they started talking to each other.
(Great i have to go watch another drone suffer)
As he walks back to the main hallway, he notices a worker drone stuck in a trash can. He decides to ignore this act of stupidity.
-----
After some time, he finally arrives at the experimentation room. He uses his card on the scanner and opens the door revealing the familiar one way glass room which is looking into the 'fun area'.
There is already multiple people and drones in this room carrying out their tasks. A man walks up to him as he was taking a seat in the middle of the room.
???: "Hey D, You finally arrived I thought that you wouldn't be coming"
In a cold tone Davy said.
Davy: "I thought about it, but I still came. Anyway what do you want?"
???: "How rude of you but it doesn't matter"
???: "the test subject is coming in 10 minutes."
He turns away and goes to the computer near the glass window. With the other humans.
-----
The 10 minutes went by quickly.
Davy who was playing snake on his visor, saw the experimention room door open. A worker drone leads in another drone, who has colour, which is unusual for worker drones.
This drone has short, purple hair in bangs and neon-red eyes. She wore white gloves and a black dress with a white collar bearing her ID number 048. Her name is Yeva.
Davy feels bad for her as she comes up to the table with straps and gets on it. This has happened multiple times with other Solver drones in which he saw most of them.
(Because I am the only qualified supervisor, somehow in this entire facility)
He does as always and just ignores it and continues playing snake trying to beat his high score. Hoping for it to be over sooner.
But before Davy could focus, He saw Yeva looking up towards the one way mirror. It's almost like she can see through it.
(How odd, She is staring directly into my eyes.)
He shrugs it off.
-----
He finally beat his own high score and conveniently as the same time it was over. He stood up and about to go out of the door before the same man as before asked.
???: "How was it?"
Davy: "Horrible"
???: "I am not taking about that but about the results"
Davy: "It was satisfactory"
???: "That's fantastic news. we are one step closer to solving the Solver. Btw did I mention my name is Thomas?"
Davy: "Who cares and don't care"
Thomas: "How nice of you"
Davy imagine him rolling his eyes through the hazmat helmet. He had enough of the guy and walked out.
Now He has free time. He decides to go back to his office.
-----
When he made it to the main hallway he remembers that he abruptly left Nori behind. So he went to her room to find her.
On the way there he found Khan happily hopping around. Davy wonders why that is. He decides to intercept him to find out.
Davy: "What made you so happy?"
Khan: "AHH"
He jumped because he was surprised by him sneaking up on him.
Khan: "Don't do that!"
Davy: "Can't help it"
Khan looks at him like his nemesis... an empty door frame.
Davy: "Anyway, why were you so happy. Did you fix the main doors again?"
Khan: "No... Should I say it... Oh well... Lets say I am dating Nori"
Davy takes a pause and looks at him.
(Is that allowed? I mean we don't know much about the Absolute Solver even after researching it for years before JCJenson took over, but it wouldn't spread right?)
Davy: "Suddenly, I feel bad for Nori to have a Door lover like you"
Khan: "what is that supposed to mean?"
Davy shrugs and continues to walk. Khan looks confused at his departing back.
As Davy arrives at the door of her room. Before he could even knock, the door opens revealing Nori. She seems unsurprised by his presence.
Davy: "How is it going?"
Nori: "Great!"
Davy: "Oh really?"
Nori: "Yes! Do you want to know?"
Davy: "is it because Khan asked you out?"
Nori: "How did you Kno- Wait did he tell you?"
She fidgets.
Davy: "It was kinda obvious after he was jumping around like an over excited child"
Nori: "I should have told him to keep quiet"
Davy: "No matter. Besides that are you going to listen to orders?"
Nori: "yes..."
She said in a sad tone.
Davy: "Good to hear"
He walks off without caring for the poor drone.
-----
After finishing the remaining work he had. He returns back to his office.
In his office is only a table with a computer and paperwork on top, office chair and a bed. His office also doubles as the bedroom.
He sighs as he layed in bed and begins to think.
(Another boring day, done)
He did everything that needed doing today except overlooking experimentation on Nori. Where they will be using a special 'machine' on her.
(It doesn't even matter if I watch or not. It's not like the experiment is not like the world would end if I'm not there..... Right?)
He reaches out to get the charging cable and plug it in his neck.
As he was preparing to go to sleep mode, he saw something or someone at the door. He quickly turned his head to the door. He could only catch a glimpse of purple and red before it was gone.
Davy: "that was weird" he mumbles.
But as quickly he ignores it. Only thinking it was a glitch and went to sleep.
