Many years ago the famous space company Jcjenson in space had suspected that the humans won't be able to survive on the earth for much longer so they came up with a plan to start looking for another planet to live on and there they found a planet called Copper9, it was almost the same size of earth if not bigger, so they decided to start off there but the problem is the air is polluted so they couldn't just freely walk around without wearing space suits, and work conditions will be very poorly, and that's where we come in. Worker drones, autonomous robots made to do most of the work where humans can't while colonizing on Copper9, there were a lot of errors made on the way but hey, nothing bad is gonna happen right?.
The humans knows what they're doing after all, well wrong because after 20 years of colonizing something went down at a abandoned laboratory and a nuclear explosion happened, causing all humans on Copper9 to die and leaving only the drones left, left with free will and minds of their own the drones decided to make a colony of their own, building cities, citizens and oil supply and even developed human emotions to live happily together, nothing harmful there right? And yet Jcjenson didn't like what happened to all the humans so they build new models of the drones, design to be taller, sharper, stronger and dangerous, called Murder drones, there were only 3 that was built, assigned by Jcjenson to go and find out what happened that caused all humans to die, the drones names started with "Serial designation" and only have a one letter name, "J" "V" and "N" two of which are female and a single male bot, for some reason the drones were given black wigs with slight colour gradients on them, nobody in the company knows who gave them the wigs but they didn't care so the wigs stayed oddly enough they have a tail that is connected to a syringe that contains acid strong enough to melt metal, once the drones were fully built, they were ready for the mission ahead... and if worse comes to shove... They will have to kill every drone in sight.
And so when the drones descended upon Copper9 they interrogated, slaughtered any worker drones they can get their hands on, trying to find the hidden laboratory that was destroyed along with the human race yet not all worker drones knows the existence of this laboratory so they end up becoming meals for the murder drones, broken, destroyed, torn apart as part of their survival, the Murder drones begin to believe their expedition was all for nothing as they gain to Intel on what they came here for but before they were able to leave Copper9 and return to earth, they witnessed in horror as the earth exploded from a distance with a black hole formed inside.
It's gone... All humans, every last one of them even their creators... Are all gone, now what will they do? The 3 murder drones argued with each other on their course of action, J and V said they should just terminate all of the worker drones while N disagreed and they broke into a serious argument, resulting in J and V leaving N on his own, and so N travelled around Copper9 all alone, he didn't interacted with the worker drones and didn't show his face to them either, he just wanders around, searching for that laboratory he was meant to search for, but the problem was he needed oil to survive, and not hunting the worker drones meant he didn't get the food sources he needs, so after months of having no food for survival, N now lies motionlessly on the snow as it envelops his metal body, hes overheating and his battery is running low, is this how he'll die...? He didn't even get to say farewell to V and J...
N was about to shut down but the last thing he saw was a short silhouette of something before shutting down, falling into a powerless slumber... What will he do now...?

Energy full, system restart.
N blinks his visor eyes, he sees on his system that his battery is fully charged and there was a plastic straw connected to his mouth, giving him oil, he finds himself in a strange looking room with many papers of strange drawings scattered on the ground and poster of things he does not understand but more importantly, he was bounded to a metal bed, N wiggles and struggles to break free
He uses his tail acid to melt his restraints but before he does a worker drones walks in, one that has purple hair with a neon pink gradient and a edgy goth style jacket and shoes on, the worker drone saw him and smiles, walking over to him casually despite his restraint being the only thing holding him back from possibly killing her.
???: oh hey your awake, good I thought you actually died out there.
N: who are you?! What is this place?! Why did you bring me here?
???: relax big guy your in my room, I smuggled you in here after seeing you almost died out in the snow.
N: I wasn't dying.
???: uh huh sure, with a empty stomach and zero batteries, yeah you were definitely not dying.
N: you still haven't answered me.
Uzi: the names Uzi, I brought you here cuz... Well it be a shame to let someone like you die so easily.
N: and why is that?
Uzi: hm let's just say I'm interested on why you weren't with one of your friends~ those two have been killing alot of our kind for a few months now but I'm surprised you aren't, not even trying to secretly hunt us for food and survival is more surprising too.
N: I just wasn't interested ok? If I wanted to I could break this off and killed you.
Uzi: and yet here you are having a conversation with me.
N: tsk- what do you want? There's no way a worker drones would save me unless you want something.
Uzi: huh I always imagine myself talking to a super hot serial killer, life sure does feel strange when one thing from your bucket list get checked.
N: if you want my help on stopping V and J than tough luck, those two would never listen to me.
Uzi: hm? Oh don't worry I couldn't careless about your friends, if our population goes down we can just grab scraps and make more of ourselves.
N: then why am i here? What do you want.
Uzi: i want to help you. More specifically I want you to help me... It's like that human saying... You scratch my back... I scratch yours.
N: there's no way I'm helping a worker drone-
Uzi: your looking for a laboratory right? The one that caused the humans extinction here on Copper9?
N: how did you...
Uzi: I overheated it from someone who survived from one of your friends... They said those two interrogated him about where a "laboratory" was, so I figured I start from there.
N: so what?
Uzi: I know where this lab is, if you help me, I'll help you find out what caused all the humans death here and possibly earth as well, but well sience you don't wanna help me, I guess I'll just have to release you back into cold snow field with nothing to gain-
N: wait!
Uzi: ...
N: I'll... I'll help you.
Uzi: awesome, and what do i call you?
N: N... Serial designation N.
Uzi: not alot of letters in a name huh, I'll call you Nox.
N: do not call me that.
Uzi: whatever you say Nox.
