Chapter 8: Work and Negotiations
The scene changed to Anton's house.
This takes place after Thad discovered his and Uzi's secret of N and the others.
Anton was then writing something on a notepad.
Anton: Alright, V are you ready?
V: Oh you bet, altho I still don't know why you have another Worker Drone besides the purple one to know about us.
Anton: I may not know much about Thad but all I know is that guy is a bit of a different breed than most jocks.
V: If you say so.
Anton: Alright, so if my hypothesis is correct in other to get rid of Disassembly Drones' need for oil and to block their weakness of sunlight I first need to take a look at your processor aka the nervous system. Just lie down on the table and don't move a muscle.
V: Ok, you better know what you're doing. *lies on the table*
Anton then went to V as he then pulled out a screwdriver.
Anton: Close your eyes.
V closed her eyes as Anton then used the tool to open the top of her head and saw her robotic nervous system.
Anton: I see it, now all I have to do is plug it into my computer and analyze the database.
V: Hang on what?! You're gonna see everything I kept hidden. All my memories, secrets and etc.
Anton: Will you relax V, why would I wanna know your secrets? It's not like I work for the government.
V pulled out her sharp claws and pulled Anton by the collar shirt.
V: I change my mind, go ask J or N to be your lab rats.
Anton: Ok ok V, relax.
V let's him go, Anton began fixing her head.
Anton: Sorry if I it was a touchy subject tho.
V: *sigh* It's fine, I just hate my mind to get invaded that's all.
Anton: It's fine, I don't blame you.
V smiled sincerely.
The scene changed to N on the table.
N: So we're playing doctor and patient huh?
Anton: Yes, I'm gonna be the doctor and gonna perform a surgery on you. All I want from you is to power down.
N: Power down?
Anton: That way you don't feel pain, it's like anesthesia.
N: Oh ok *lies on the table* Oh and by the way...
Anton: Yeah?
N: Do you know how to turn me back on?
Anton: I actually don't, I might ask J how to.
N: Well ok then, by the way prom is coming soon for you Uzi and Thad, and I was thinking I wanna join you guys.
Anton: Oh...? I mean considering you're not like us people would-
N: *sad face* Wait does that-
Anton: No no I mean hehe, you will once I finish removing your vampiric mechanisms.
N: Yay! Does this mean we can become dapper buddies?
Anton: Dapper buddies?
N: Yeah, we're gonna be dapper buddies. Wear matching clothing and go to prom like the best of friends we always were.
Anton chuckled.
Anton: Oh we will, let's get this over with first.
N: You bet! Lemme just power down real quick...*does some typing which was visible on his visor*
In a few seconds N powered down, Anton's smile faded away as he cracked his knuckles.
He then began screwing off the top of the head with a screwdriver and managed to connect some cables to N's database to the computer.
Anton: Rest assure N, you're safe in my hands. *cracks knuckles* Alright time to work.
Day 1:
Anton began working on his computer, typing in codes and trying to discover a solution to curing the Disassembly trio.
He received some line of codes that he had to decipher.
Anton: It seems like JensonCorp installed a firewall in these guys' minds which makes it a problem for me. If N has it then the rest definetly will, this is gonna be trickier than I expected.
Eventually Uzi was in the room as she looked into the problem.
Uzi: Firewalls huh?
Anton: I got them earlier while examining N's database. I need to know the source of how they made them vampiric.
Uzi: Ok then *cracks knuckles* you leave that to me and you go and do what else needs to be done.
Hours passed, as Uzi was examining the line of codes Anton on the other hand examined N's body on all sides. Checked the mouth to see the row of sharp teeth.
He then managed to use a screwdriver to look deeper into his chest, he saw a metallic core with some pipes and motors connecting to the rest of his body.
He managed to take a closer look and inspect the core to find out something that intrigued him, he wrote that down.
Uzi: Hey Anton, come and look at this.
The human male came to see Uzi managed to decrypt most of the lines.
Uzi: Apparently you should check N's tail because that's usually a source that powers them. It's Nanite Acid
Anton then checked the tail and tilted the container from side to side.
Uzi: It also reads that it has properties that can both poison. And also they have healing saliva from their mouths.
Anton: So basically this toxic substance on the tail can be of use for to repair them.
The female drone spun around the chair to face the latter.
Uzi: Anyways how's the core part going?
Anton: I examined it and apparently core has enough space to fit a chip in it... if I can manufacture it and connect it to the chest then that should solve the problem.
Uzi: You think?
Anton: If I can get a few chips and tweak them a bit that is, my further hypothesis is that if I can mix this toxic substance which is Nanite Acid and some healing saliva which N harvests both and mix it with Worker Drone oil then I can make them lose their need for oil and won't need to feed on you guys.
Uzi: Ok, but what about the sunblock thing.
Anton: Oh I still haven't worked in that but I'll try and figure it out soon enough.
He smiled and went to Uzi.
Anton: So far progress is well, and thanks with your hacking skills we accelerated it a bit. All we need are chips and-
He stopped talking as he looked at his computer to see a different line of code.
Anton: What's this?
Uzi turned around and saw what he did.
Uzi: There.... are lines of code that I didn't decrypt... and they're in a foreign language...
Anton: I think.... that's Russian...
Uzi: Well shit, I got no idea on that. I may be a robot but I can translate other languages.
Anton: Maybe not you tho... I think we have to turn to someone else.
Day 2:
The scene changed to school.
Lizzy and Doll were in the cafeteria.
Lizzy: Like I was saying, me and my prom partner are totally gonna win the prom king and queen awards. So like who's you date in 2 days Doll?
Doll: Мне еще предстоит найти кого-то, кто не пугался бы меня и моего монотонного поведения. (I have yet to find one that isn't creeped out by me and my monotone ways of acting)
Lizzy: I assume you said you probably did, oh girl we're gonna have sooo much fun-
Then Anton came to them.
Anton: Hey Lizzy, can I talk to Doll for a minute or two?
Lizzy: Ugh, why would you want a conversation with her loser? Can't you see we're busy?
Anton: You look like you're just blabbering more about yourself than doing something productive for once in your life.
Lizzy: Don't you have to go and hang out with that purple freak with the beanie?
Anton: I would but-
Lizzy: Then quit wasting our time, meatsack!
Anton then turned to Doll and pulled out his phone and began typing something.
He then turned it around and it was basically a translator app from English to Russian.
Doll looked at it.
Doll: Вам нужна моя помощь с расшифровкой кодов на русском языке? (You want my help with decryption of codes that are in Russian?)
Anton nods.
She grabbed the phone from the human and began typing something and then gave the phone to him as the latter looked at the translation.
"I will help, but I wanna know about what's this all about"
Anton gulped before typing something and giving it to Doll.
She gave him a bit of a skeptic look but sighed and got up.
Lizzy: Hey! Where are you going?
Doll: Я скоро вернусь, только надо кое-что уладить с Антоном. (I will be back in a bit, just have to settle something with Anton)
They left Lizzy who was all alone and confused.
The scene changed to Anton and Doll who were in their perspective class room, the latter pulled out what seemed to be a tablet and turned it on and went to the decryption.
Anton: This is my dad's tablet, I borrowed it from him for the sole purpose for you to decrypt these lines of code. I managed to transfer them just yesterday, you think you can finish the job?
Doll grabbed it.
Doll: Вы говорите, что это для изучения прототипа разборного дрона, который вы построили? Откуда мне знать, если это не что-то другое? (You say this is for studying the prototype Disassembly Drone you built? How do I know if this not something else?)
Anton: Well I'm more curious about their anatomy and wanna know why they were programmed with their vampiric ways?
Doll:..... Ты странное существо, я никогда не знал, что это заинтересует тебя, но я знаю, что ты что-то скрываешь от меня...(You're an odd creature, I never knew this would interest you but I know you're hiding something from me)
She then began decrypting the Russian codes on the tablet as Anton watched on.
In a matter of a seconds, Doll handed the tablet to Anton and got up and was about to leave the classroom but stopped and looked at the latter.
Doll: я смотрю на тебя. (I have my eye on you) *leaves*
Anton: Thanks a lot for this!
He put the tablet away.
Anton: And that's one problem down, now to move with the rest. When I get back home I'm gonna need some substances...
Day 3:
The scene changed to Anton who was in a lab classroom as he with goggles. Then the door opened and showed Thad who came in with a medium sized box
Thad: Alright I'm back, I managed to convince the ICT professor to give me a couple of data chips from the school computers.
Anton: It's more than enough that we need.
Thad: So how's progress going? *puts box down on the table*
Anton: I managed to convince Doll to help me out and decrypt the Russian codes, but in return I promised to find a suitable partner for her in prom.
Thad: Ok who's it gonna be?
Anton: You.
Thad: Hang on-You want me with the Russian drone?
Anton: I managed to convince her that you had an interest for it and she fell for it. All I need for you is to play pretend.
Thad: Dude I have no idea what she even says let alone wanna hang out with her.
Anton: I'll add a chip so that you can understand what she says. That way you have no issue trying to communicating with her.
Thad: You better.
Anton then pulled out one of the chips from a box and looked at it.
Anton: This one should do for N nicely. But first...
He then pulled out a small capsules containing the nanite acid from the Disassembly Drones' tails and the other having healing saliva.
Anton: I asked J if I could borrow some of the corrosive nanite acid and healing saliva from her to which she obliged.
Thad: And what are you gonna do?
Anton: Mix them with Worker Drone oil, which is where you come in. *pulls out needle* Not afraid of needles are you?
Thad: Pfft never, but seriously you asked a ton of favours from me.
Anton: I know but I paid you back to have a prom partner even tho she may not be the one with the most conversations but it's still something.
Thad: Guess you're right.
He then gave his arm to Anton who tapped the sharp syringe first and then slowly inserted it and extracted some oil.
He then adds it to a beaker, then he pulls the syringe and adds the Nanite Acid and then the healing saliva.
He mixed them together and puts it all in a pipe that goes all the way to a small capsule which contains connected to a data chip.
Anton: Now this should be enough to cure then of their thirst for oil, but that leaves out another problem...
Thad: What exactly?
Anton: The sun will still shine and burn them, but I think I have a theory. *goes to the sink and washes the syringe* I think that by adding my blood can solve it too, since humans can stand the sun unlike vampires as per myths. In short, by adding part human into the mix it can fix the issue they have with the sun and that way they will be resistant to the heat and rays.
He was done washing the syringe and move his sleeve upwards to exposed his arm.
Anton: Which is why I'm gonna use some of my own blood sample and add it into the concuction.
Thad: You sure?
Anton: I'm three days into this and I'm gonna try and finish it today.
He gave the syringe to Thad.
Anton: Try and extract some blood from my vein, it's a blue lining around my arm. Try to find it.
Thad then scanned to detect a vein, he found it in the middle of the of the body part, he injects the syringe and a tiny yelp was heard from the human. The drone extracts the blood and pulled away.
Anton: You know, we make a pretty good team.
Thad: Come to think of it we actually do. High five!
The two high fived. Anton then adds the blood into the pipes which goes to the capsule.
Anton: And by adding my blood the formula is complete. Now all we have to do is test it on N and we'll be good to go.
Thad: Let's hope it works.
The scene changed to outside Anton's room door, everyone besides Anton were waiting.
V: He's been working three days on this huh?
Thad: The guy took up a lot of time.
J: Let's hope he knows what he's doing, because the sun is going to set soon.
Uzi was silent as she was waiting, but then the door opened.
Anton came out.
Anton: Ok, I'm almost done all I need to do now is to turn N back on. J do you know how?
J: I mean I could just scrap that poor excuse for a bot, but since you chose him a lab rat that in the end will benefit all three of us I will.
J went inside to turn N on, right after Anton screw drived the top of the head. The female then typed some stuff onto the computer to finalize it.
Then N's visor had a loading bar that filled up rather quickly.
Uzi: He's waking up!
N's eyes were then visible and the latter yawned.
N: *yawn* Man how long as I out for?
J: For three days lab rat, Anton wasted a ton of time and let's see it if pays off.
Anton: Alright N, let's test you out.
The scene changed to outside.
Anton: The sun is setting, fly up and let's see if it can burn you.
N: Are you sure this is safe?
J: Ugh, don't be a wuss and just do it you sack of useless metal and wiring.
V: Just do it N.
N then nods and flew up in the air with his wings, he then faced the sun that shined on him. The latter had his eyes closed in fear.
But unknown to him, he didn't feel burnt by the rays.
N: Huh? *opens eyes* Hey! I'm not burning! I'm alive and well!
Everyone cheered, Anton wiped off a ton of sweat and sighed in relief.
He was then hugged by Uzi with one arm.
Uzi: You did it, nice job.
V: Does this mean it's our turn now?
J: Yeah, if bolthead up there is fine then we will as well.
She bumped her elbow to Anton.
J: Not bad.
N then landed down the ground and went to hug the human.
N: Thanks a lot dapper buddy!
V hugged him from behind.
Anton: N, do you crave oil now?
N then looked at Thad who cocked a brow with a bit of a surprised look.
N:......Nah, not anymore.
Thad: *sighed* Well, now that we found a solution thanks to you do you think it'll be time for everyone to know?
Anton: Soon, after the prom that is.
Uzi: That's tomorrow.
N: Oh yeah, Anton promised that we get to dress in a same way right buddy?
Anton: Yeah N, I kept my word.
J: Alright we can discuss this AFTER Anton uploads the chips to us.
V: Yeah! Come on Anton!
Anton chuckled.
Anton: Alright follow me and I'll get another table.
They all entered inside as J and V were going to get their upgrades.
End.
OK guys, this was chapter 8.
Peace out!
