Murder Drones: The Variant

Part 1: Captured

Like many of the planets in the systems, the core was destroyed. Blamed on humans that colonized the planet. Instead of snow though, the ground instead became a rocky destroyed terrain and rocky peaks everywhere. The buildings that the humans had built were damaged and some collapsed.

A drone landed on a collapsed building, looking over at the huge prison that the VCA built. A small engraving lay on his neck. It read 'K'

"Access point... Access point.."

A small projectile suddenly fired from below, hitting his head and shocking him perfectly to shut him off. He fell to the ground.

A worker drone walked over.

"Oh my god, it worked! It actually worked!

Her white hair draped down as she bent over to grab the body. A name tag on her chest read 'Lexi'. Her white lab coat was buttoned tightly. She moved the body into the back of a truck, and got inside the driver's seat.

The truck pulled up to the prison, correctly called the Variant Compound and Research Facility, or the VCRF for short.

The gate opened, and Lexi drove into the vehicle bay. She got out, unloading K's body. She put it onto a cart, pushing it through the facility into her laboratory.

She got inside her lab, where her best friend was waiting.

"Hi Tonya!" Lexi said, rolling the carrier to the side of a nearby operation table.

"Hey Lexi- OH MY GOD!" Tonya screamed, jumping back, hitting Lexi's desk, and falling over.

Lexi ran over to her. "Tonya, are you okay?" Lexi extended her hand to her, helping Tonya up.

"Why the hell do you have a disassembly drone in here!?" Tonya yelled.

"Corporate called and said this is a variant we needed to capture. I tested out the new shock gun on it, and it works!" Lexi said very excitedly.

"Good to know. Hey, I'll be right back." Tonya said, leaving the room.

"Alright, well I need too.." She turned around to look at the cart and saw K gone.

"Oh crap..." Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her shoulder, throwing her to the side.

She looked up, the blue eyed drone looking down at her. He looked mad.

"Where are we and what did you do." K said, bending down to get up close to her.

She stood up, brushing her lab coat off.

"You can talk?" She asked.

"I'm sorry, did you think I couldn't talk?" He said very confused.

"So I'm gonna go ahead and shock you again-" She said before the nanite acid needle on his tail stabbed her hand.

She pulled her hand back, holding it.

"What the hell!?" She screamed.

"Not gonna happen. Where's your computer?" He asked. He then saw the computer, walked over to it, and started typing until he pulled up a log for a variant. The most dangerous drone in the prison, Variant 26.

"Hey, that's my computer- Agh!"

He walked over, grabbing her hand and putting it in his mouth for a sec, before spitting it out. "Your hand sanitizer is nasty."

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU JUST PUT MY HAND IN YOUR MOUTH YOU WEIRDO!?" She yelled, throwing a test tube at his head.

"My saliva neutralizes the nanites! Calm down! Now, I have a question." He said.
