Chapter Text
J woke up on Popstar with no memory of anything, except being flung away from the gremlin and Traitor N during the battle. She didn't know who did this to her, but she seemed to be injured, with a slightly cracked visor and some cuts in her left arm, and just a few bullet holes in her stomach and around her core. She needed to go back to one of the JCJenson supply centers and try to find some oil, because she really needed it. She noticed a giant silver orb in the distance. The door was open. She flew over to enter it.

Max Profitt Haltmann was happy. He had his daughter back, and he finally got rid of that horrible machine. Star Dream was a bastard, everyone knew this, and yet Haltmann let himself go because his daughter was gone. But then Susie told him what he called her as a kid. And he remembered. They destroyed the helmet. Star Dream never activated. They dismantled it. Everything below returned to normal. Haltmann decided to help rebuild the castle he crushed. He finally had his daughter and his company. He wasn't missing anything. Not even a wife, not since the other one divorced him. Haltmann was happy. He was perfectly happy. And so he laughed. He laughed and he didn't even bother doing anything else.

As J walked the halls of the Access Ark, she ran into Susie, the Executive Assistant to her father, Haltmann. J spoke first. "Excuse me, miss, I was wondering where I could find some oil? I can provide official JCJenson identification if necessary." "That won't be necessary. Susie Haltmann, Executive Assistant of the Haltmann Works Company. You won't need your JCJenson credentials because JCJenson ceases to exist." J recoiled. This couldn't be! How could they have been destroyed? "Serial Designation J. May I speak with someone who might be able to find the CEO? Because last I remember, JCJenson still has multiple offices on Copper-9." Susie was shocked at hearing this. "How could this be? JCJenson vanished from the stock tickers when Earth fell! Let me get you to the President, he may be able to explain this." J didn't know where Susie was taking her, but she figured if the President was there, it must be important.

Susie and some robot, that looked eerily similar to an early variant of robots he'd seen while he was still running a startup, burst in the door. Susie spoke first. "Daddy! I found some random robot girl wandering around the halls! She thinks JCJenson's still around, and they have offices on Copper-9, and she says she needs some oil." Max realized exactly what he was dealing with now. It was a Murder Drone. And it was made by that bitch of a prototype of Star Dream.
