N And The Roster (Murder Drones)

11. Filler Day

(Cycle Two: Western Conflict)

It was 7AM. A morning like any morning. Shen was asleep at her desk, Qwertz was having his morning tea, T.A.D is in the cupboard recharging, N is asleep on the couch in the common roon and Blindy is in a daydream for the last hour or so.

And Jill? Well we step into Jill's Dormitory with Qwertz. The dormitory has a bunkbed, on the bottom was a lightly lit matress with a memory pillow. (Note that the pillow literally has memory cards on it) and on the top was a desk like matress, not a matress at all more like a mat, it covered with pillows and weirdly enough a tatarmi mat.

The room was European. With two desks for self use, a radio, a cacarpet made from velvet, a custom Euro-Asian set of fine China, various equipment relating to eachothers work and a Gun rack full of assualt rifles and shotguns.

Jill was lying on the bunk bed, listenening to a mix of Asian pop. He was the weeb of the group. Another thing was he has a pretty large array of clothing to wear. He wore formal on work but usually wears randon sets of clothes.

I mean, seriously. Who keeps a replica of Julius Ceaser's outfit?

No matter that. Jill stopped the music with a tap of a mouse, got off his bed and opened his wardrobe. He walked into it and then sat down inside it, shuffled a bit until he pressed a button of sorts and turned on a monitor. It had a script he prepared last night. He then pulled down a microphone and a lamp light and began broadcasting.

"Welcome to the Morning Broadcast for The Capital city with your host, Jill H. Wembleton. It's a early morning today as the season turn into a breezy summer, we are excepting. coming up at 9AM followed by The Delta Storm Surge. Murder Drones are now slowly retreating from their big hunt so it is now safe to wander during the Evening till 10PM. "

This is Jill's morning routine. Part-time Radioman until the afternoon. He gets paid... Fair for the time period he does it at.

While this is happening Blindy was snapping out of her day dream. The blind drone made her way slowly towards a radio, the radio located at the corner of the common room. After feeling around for a power plug she turned a nozzle slowly. She did this until something other than static can be heard.

"M-da... *STATIC* -a... Ay. Hostel-Ex... Eas- *STATIC* -U.N.I... -VAC- *STATIC* -AA...A..."

She contines to turn the nozzle. Signals like these happen usually so it isn't as big as a deal as it really is. The sound of more static begins to play. Anotger while static starts dissappearing and another voice can be heard.

"And now we talk about developments of Copper Nine. Current conflicts with the U.N.I on the east as usual and a nee development of micro factions in the west. We have also been sponsored one of these factions called... *STATIC*"

Blindy continues to rotate the nozzle again. The song "I don't want to set the world on fire" began to play. Blindly then went to lean on the couch as she always does and listens to the music, going back into a day dream.

The song can be heard along the corridor. The echos of the vintage song travelled into Qwertz and Shen's work space. Shen had a corner for where she programs. Specifically she has a laptop, a PC and a bunch of notebooks. The notebooks were filled with codes and doodles, and the walls around it was plastered with posters, sticky notes and a calendar.

Shen then woke up suddenly, eyes Droopy as she checks the date. Shen then grabs out a marker from her desk and crosses today's date off. She was woken up by the sound of a hot kettle whistling on a portable gas stove.

"This time it isn't coal flavour. Care to try?" Qwertz said as he listens to the sweet sound of the whistle. He then pours out yet another black liquid that smelt similar to the coal tea. "This time it's Charcoal!"

Shen looked at the tea unpleasantly. "I am open to interesting drinks but that's not my cup of coffee..." She said as she makes her way to the common room.

"Aw..." Qwertz said as he sips his tea.

She steps into the common room and tip toe over around Blindly and towards a coffee machine. The coffee table had the latest equipment she could get from a wasteland. A barista style coffee machine, A fine set of utensils and most important of all: A sack of coffee beans. It took a while to get that.

What it took to get it

"D.2800"
"D.100"
"D.2750"
"D.120"
"D.2700"
"D.140"
"D.2600"
"D.160"
"D.2500 lowest price."
"..."
"..."
"D.1000"
"Fine."

It just works like that

She gets to work on making a cup of coffee, the rattling of the coffee machine wakes N up.

N jumps up expands his wings around the room as he tries to fly out of the room, causing chaos as the noise of constant scraping and crashing alerts Jill and Qwertz.

(Now imagine this scene, but in a

Shen grabs out a spoonful of the insta coffee and then puts it in the machine. She then walks away for a moment.

A scene of Jill and Qwertz trying to coordinate to try and get N to calm down. Jill jumps onto N's back as he continues to zoom around the room.

Shen comes back with a handful of snow and stuffs it into the water container. She then pressed a button and the machine begins to rumbles more.

Meanwhile behind her Jill gets flung off and goes flying off into the corridor as Qwertz grabs out a netgun from a secret component under the common room.

Shen then grabs out a cup and a brownish black liquid begins to pour out.

Jill comes back and throws himself back onto N. This time grabbing onto his wings and tries to push them back in to no avail. Qwertz then fires the netgun that captures N and Jill in it.

Shen then grabs out the cup of coffee and takes an gulp of the liquid. She then smiles a bit and leaves the common room.

Qwertz tries to untangle the rope that N and Jill is stuck in but N still can't stop moving constantly.

Meanwhile...

TAD stands on guard in the cupboard. That's it.

Ended.

Ya know part 10 was pretty lame. Hope this makes up for it.
