Chapter Text
It’s a Sunday in July, specifically July 23rd, in 3076 on the exoplanet Copper 9. Today is the fourth annual Copper 9 cookout, held at Camp 98.7. Uzi has been with N for five years, V and Lizzy are married, and everything is perfect….or is it? Uzi gets a call from one of her WDF workers who stayed behind because they didn’t feel like coming to the cookout.
Holding her phone “Hold on N, I have to take this”
Has a pouting face“Aww, but I want my awesome Girlfriend time”
“You’ll get it later”
She walks away to one of the cabins, so the sound from the cookout events don’t disturb the call.
“So is this a bit of call or is it actually important because I would rather be at the cookout than hearing a call from you” She says in a sarcastic voice
“Boss, this is important, MUY IMPORTANTE”Says in a sincere but worried voice
“Okay, Geez, just say it” has an attitude
“ So I may or may not be looking at satellites for signals and there's like a ship 7.9 million miles away” Sounds very very worried
“What do you mean by a ship, do you know anything about it” Confused
“If it’s coming here then it’s calculated to be here in around give or take 48 hours”
“THE CRAP, and I'm just now hearing about this” Panicking
“Y-yeah”
“You better be glad that I'm not there”
“As I should be”
“When it gets closer, try sending a signal”
“Yes ma'am”
Hangs up the phone, walks out the Cabin and goes back to N.
“N you actually will not believe this”
“I’ll always believe you”
“No, dummy, what the phone call was about”
Looks serious “Uzi what was that phone call about”
“It was from our spotter”
“Aw shucks”
“He said that there's a ship around 7.9 million miles away and that it will be here in give or take 24 hours” Very quick in a panicked voice
“That's very concerning, we’ve never had visitors”
“Except you guys”
“We live here”
“Naw really, but actually we don’t know if they're going to be violent or not which scares me after Cyn” She has a sincere voice while saying this
“Honey, no one can be more dangerous than Cyn you know that she killed like a lot of people”
“Babe, I know, but still can’t help but think who or what could be out there”
“I think you should tell V, I mean she’s the leader of the army after all”
“That may be a good Idea”
She walks over to an area with a tree underneath it since that’s where V and Lizzy are sitting. V is getting food right now Lizzy says.
“Why are you here”
“Your Wife, V we need to talk now this is super majorly important”
“Fine, you can wait here for a minute”
A minute goes by in dead tensioned silence, V comes back.
“Why is Uzi here”
“I have something extremely important to tell you like now”
“Fine just make it quick I'm hungry”
They walk to a secluded area
“What did you want to tell me Uzi it’s a nice day and all I want to do is to spend some time with my wife can I have that”
“V it’s a damn emergency the planet could be at risk” (Panicked)
“Holy shit this could be bad tell me what happened”
“One of the spotters called me”
“And”
“There's a ship about 7.9 million miles from here and give or take it’s going to be here in 48 hours”
“Do we KNOW ANYTHING about who’s on the ship”(Sounds Annoyed but actually really scared)
“I told to the spotter to call me back when he di-”
RING Uzi put on speakerphone
“Anything new”
“We got some information on them”
V says, “are they hostile or not”
“Depends on if their hostile with worker and disassembly drones their humans”
Uzi says “I THOUGHT THEY HAVE GONE EXTINCT” In a shocked mind blown voice
“Only the ones who ran JC Jensen died because of Cyn these people are with JC Jensen's rivalry company..Lab corp”
V “So we need to put a hold on the army twe know if the humans are gonna be hostile towards us”
“Basically”
Hangs up Uzi says
“There Humans, HUMANS were either fine or were Totally Fucked” Uzi slowly panicks more as she says this
“Yeah, that's for sure”
“I mean other drones totally fine but humans but I mean at least they are not JC Jenson or else we would have been 100 times more screwed”
“You haven't even met anyone from JC Jenson”
“But am i wrong”
“No”
“Exactly, anyway I'm sure you want to get back to Lizzy and I need to get back to N but anyway do not tell anyone about this not Khan not Nori not Lizzy I just don’t want to stress them out i’ll make a PSA announcement on the news tonight okay”
“What made you think I was going to spill”
“You and Lizzy gossip a lot”
“You got me there”
“Bye V”
“Bye”
Uzi goes back to N where it’s sunny (they adapted Disassembly drone cores to be able to be in the sun.)
“N we’re either cooked or not cooked”
“Honey, What do you mean by that”
“We got some information from the spotter”
“Is it about the ship”
“Yes”
“Then what is it about”
“We found out the WHO on the ship”
Gasp”who”
“humans”
“Do we know anything else”
“We might be fine as their a rival company to JC Jenson so they would most likely not kill us but there's always that one percent”
“I know right sometimes that one percent can lead to a CYN”
“Yeah, so that's why we have precautions”
“Like what”
“Around the two our predicted timeline when they land V will have the soldiers prepared in case of attack”
“Yeah, that is very smart as we don’t want anyone to be killed”
“I'm making a PSA announcement, so every knows not to be scared rather than by rumor since that tends to go to overblown too quickly”
“Like with Us”
“Like with the murder drones, like yeah you guys were killing us, but you needed it or else you were going to die and well i hated you because i thought you killed my mother, but you didn't so not as mad but turns out J was the only one who was scary you and V were honestly just great friends.”
“Yeah those times we’re the best like prom remember when we danced”
“Okay looking back on that was very cool with the whole knife battle thing”
“Those were the good times”
“You know what's crazy”
“You know we haven't seen J in five years”
“That is crazy, but I don’t miss her all she was a boss and a not very good one she would tell us what to do, but she was very mean to us and what I would call emotionally abusive when I met you I actually thought I was useless and terrible, and now I'm a pilot!”
“Yeah, I felt so happy throwing that pen at her”
“I would have been too, but I was too scared by her presence back then”
“We all still are”
“I know”
“You thinking I was a disassembly drone was crazy”
“I did think you were a little bit short to be a disassembly drone though”
“Touché”
“It’s just life was so great compared to back then it’s like everything is perfect right here right now we're at a picnic with about everyone we know are troubles are far gone we’ve been dating for 5 years”
“I know right, I get to boss people around so technically I never rebel I just do things differently”
N laughs
“Sure doing things differently was your motive to come out of the bunker”
“No, that was anime”
Still laughing
“Still funny though Uzi”
“Shut up you love Anime to you just like the rom-coms with the two childhood lovers who end finding each other”
“Why be so descriptive”
“Because it’s tr-”
“That you love me~”
“Well that too”
Hugs
“I love you”
“I love you too”
That evening, Uzi goes on the news and explains the matter.
“So today one of our spotters found something, a ship that has humans on it and will be here in about 40 hours please do not be worried as the WDF promises to have everything be under control on the day the ship lands we advise everyone not in the WDF to be in the bunker let me repeat that one more time the WDF advises all citizens of copper 9 to be in the bunker on Tuesday, July 25th got it good”
She walks Out of the news station and back to the apartment she lives in with N. she lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with N which they have decorated to their tastes (mostly Polaroids of N Uzi and their friends”
“Babe I'm home”
“Honey your back” N Hugs Uzi
“How do you think the other worker drones”
“Let’s hope they don’t panic that much”
“That's for sure”
“I honestly hope these humans are nice so we don’t have to go into fight mode”
“N we're all hoping that these humans are nice, worker drones are naturally pacifists but sometimes we have to learn how to put the fist into pacifist because we can’t have everything taken away from us”
“hon, let’s just hope we don’t have to use that fist okay”
“Okay”
Hugs
“Everything's going to be okay no matter if they're nice or mean to us, we’ll still be together and will have a strong relationship right”
“I just don’t want to get anyone in the colony to get hurt even if I do hate half of the people itt does not mean that I want them to be hurt”
“If they do, Tessa’s a great technician, she’ll fix them all back up”
“I know it just hurts to see hurt when you know you can’t fix it”
“Honey we all feel that way I had to hide how I felt when Cyn was in you because you want Cyn to be out of you, but I couldn't do anything about it that made me sad to see you like that underneath Cyn’s control since you should have rights to your own body and be the only one allowed to use it.”
“Babe, you know you're just a really big softie”
“I know”
“You know you don’t have to worry about me, right, I'm always going to find some way to be okay”
“As your boyfriend, it is my job to be worried about you, I am supposed to protect you”
“Look N I get that you care about me a lot, but you can’t be worried about me sometimes things fall how they fall it's life”
“I know that’s life, but sometimes life can be hard”
“Those are just the tests to see if you're paying attention to everything, it’s like a little test to see if you're still strong”
“But i don't like those test Uzi”
“No one likes or wants those tests to happen, but they just do as the universe makes things out so certain things out like us being together.”
“Us being together is like the one best thing that has happened in my life”
“And I know that if I hadn't snuck out with my railgun that night I wouldn't have met you then I would still be in the bunker stuck with my annoying father”
“Well, then it must be true that some things are meant to be”
“Now we just need to figure out why the hell this whole spaceship with humans on it is meant to be”
“Yeah that is a good question”
“Someday we’ll know”
“Maybe they have a DOG on it”
“N it’s been five years and you are still obsessed with dogs”
“And you still love me”
“Somehow “
“ and if there is a dog I hope it’s a golden retriever or a Husky or a-”
“Labrador retriever family dog”
“You’ve memorized my facts”
“Baby, you’ve said these things for five years, you think I wouldn't remember”
“I'm just surprised you haven't snapped at me once for talking about dogs, usually V and J wou-”
I'm not V or J I’m Uzi and I find it cute”
They Kiss now V and Lizzy are in their apartment is more cozy style but very aesthetic because Lizzy loves things looking Dronagram worthy,
“How long did you know that there was a ship coming to Copper Nine”
“Since this afternoon, Uzi told me not to tell you”
“ So you're going to keep a secret from your wife”
“Look, Liz, I didn't want to stress you out and I didn't want you to post anything on social media and have random rumors floating around”
“I mean, the rumors would have been really bad”
“ So you see where I'm coming from”
“Yeah” Then Lizzy says “What’s going to be the army’s plan on this”
“ We are going to be leaving the soldiers on hold unless the people get violent, but if they do, we have a full-blown army to kick…their…asses”
“That makes me feel safer”
“As it should, I would die for you”
“If it helps I would too”
