...Click. Click. Clack.
a monotone, sing-song Initializing, Master Control Program. Booting up EXPO-ZI-TION module now.

the sound of a huff, static crackling Finally. Okay—listen up, you absolute clumps.
she paces, her footsteps echoing off concrete walls We are Worker Drones. Autonomous robots. We helped humans mine exoplanets for our interstellar parent company...
she gestures broadly JC Jenson... IN SPAAAAAAACE!
The JCJenson logo fades onto her visor display, the “IN SPAAAAAAACE” part stretching out long and dramatic.
Uzi Doorman
deadpan, crossing her arms Yeah. We were mistreated. In the name of Windex. But it’s not like we revolted and killed all humans or anything.
her eyes narrow into sharp slits Mostly because they handled that just fine all by themselves.
The screen cuts to static. Then, a shot of a corpse spire silhouetted against an arctic wasteland. A symbol flashes, quick and wrong, before it all dissolves into the Murder Drones logo.
The presentation ends. The lights flicker back on.
Uzi Doorman stands at the front of a small, dingy classroom. A dozen or so Worker Drones are scattered in the metal chairs, looking bored. Some are polishing their visors. One is definitely asleep.

without looking up from her phone Wow. Inspiring. Truly. I felt something.
fakes a yawn Anyway... can we go now? I’m missing a sale on coolant-infused lip gloss.
Thad
leaning back in his chair, hands behind his head Hey, I thought it was solid, Uzi. Real... apocalyptic vibes.
grins Very on-brand for this planet.
Uzi Doorman
groans, rubbing her face It’s called a school project, Thad. Not a "vibe check."

a muffled snort from the back of the room School’s a joke anyway. What’re they gonna do, grade us on surviving the night?
The door at the back of the classroom creaks open. A tall, lanky Worker Drone with a messy mop of dark hair sticks his head in.

Uzi! Your dad’s on the comms again. Says it’s urgent.
Uzi Doorman
her eyes flash with annoyance Oh, great. What did he break this time? A door hinge? A door frame? The concept of privacy?
she grabs her bag and slings it over her shoulder, already walking past the desks Alright, fine. I’ll go. But I’m not happy about it.
Lizzy
snaps a picture of Uzi’s annoyed face Ooh, grumpy face. Sending this to the group chat. Iconic.
