There is a monster in there, and she knew it knows her too. It made her sick to even remember how the monster had felt. Rebecca's thoughts spiraled further and further off track as her claws scrapped along the aged roof of the skyscraper she had landed on. More like, semi crashed but she had landed at least. And nearly a second later another drone landed safely at the farthest possible part of the damaged tower's roof, his metal wings retracting into his back as the coat wearing drone took a few steps forward. Rebecca glanced up at him as frigid wind passed between them, her visors blue eyes softening as soon as she realized who it was.

"N!" Was all the taller disassembly drone heard before Rebecca barreled into and subsequently hugged him, N having no choice but to return the contact along with a oof noise from the collision. His initial burst of satisfaction at finding his squad mate intact being short lived as the girl prematurely ended the hug, a disturbed look briefly gracing her face before she stamped it down.

"N I'm so glad I found you but...." Rebecca stated, raising her voice as to complete with the wind. N cocking his head to the side while Rebecca fiddled with her now oil stained jumper, the slightly faded pink garment still tied around her waist. N easily sensed that something was off. N taking a breath in before asking her if she was ok.

"...uh...y- YEAH! Why wouldn't I be sweets." Rebecca snarked back, seemingly regaining her usual energy and simultaneously annoying N with the use of the nickname.

"Oh good, well... Uh.. things have kind of ch-" N was halfway through attempting to inform Rebecca of the very important events she had very conveniently missed when the girl interrupted.

"No time to chat, we have a monster to kill! You can tell me everything later, call it a date!" She blurted out, bold statements being dampened by her voice sounding forced along with the uncertainty she radiated in her half hearted expressions. N noticing this but being too confounded by what she had said to take in how she had spoke.

"Wai- what?!" He exclaimed, pointing on of his fingers at her as she flipped both of her wings out and causing one of her eyes to involuntarily glitch out. Giving the appearance of it twitching.

Rebecca then chuckling lightly to herself, the laughs sounding slightly forced and making N briefly think that maybe she had gone insane.

"Hah, yeah. There's a THING in that building a- and I want it GONE as soon as we can." She said, further adding to the evidence for her being insane. N trying to pry an explanation from her as she crouched in preparation to take flight.

"Uh what?? And how are we going to get back inside. The door is locke- OH WAIT!". N had a groundbreaking realization mid question, causing the poofy haired drone to dive off of the skyscraper and spiral back down towards the frozen ground. The last thing Rebecca heard from him as he disappeared from view was him yelling at her. Politely, of course.

"Be right back!" Along with something about a doll? Whatever he had said afterwards wasn't going to deter her from going back in their and making sure she wasn't going insane about what the hell she had seen. Preferably sinking several bullets into it as well.

About a minute later, N returned to the damaged roof. Carrying a slightly disgruntled Doll with him, the red eyed girl showing a brief knowing smirk to the now very confused Rebecca when N dropped the purple haired drone off.

"A... N? Whaat is... Nevermind. Lets just go." The blue eyed drone stuttered out before taking off. This cold and frankly unlikable night just kept getting worse and worse, at least she had N with her now as the two flew towards their way into the colony.

Said colony had nothing interesting was going on inside it, certainly nothing interesting in this cold and far out corner at least. The room only populated by a small layer of frost and the dim ceiling lights that tried vainly to brighten the area. Even the brightly coloured vending machine was doing a better job of dispelling the darkness, said metal rectangle now being fiddled with by a pair of disgruntled workers in a halfhearted fashion.
