Of Drones and Logic

New Beginnings Part 1: Aftermath

It. Is. Here! The first episode of ODAL season 2! The Murder Drones series may have ended, but this fic still has more to come before it ultimately comes to an end one day. Until that day comes, enjoy the chapter and future chapters to come.

Ps: This is a 2 part chapter. The first mostly shows how things are going in the aftermath of S1.

------------------------------------------------------------

3 weeks. 3 weeks past after the Murder Drones defeated Cyn and things... haven't change very much. But there were a FEW changes, at least.

For starters, after Uzi became the new admin for the Absolute Solver, there was no longer a reason for the worker drones to fear the disassembly drones anymore. As a matter of fact, they were actually invited to STAY in Uzi's colony by Khan himself.

Although it took a bit of convincing, the colony agreed and let them move in, which they did. N had his own living space not too far from where Uzi, his new girlfriend, lives. V and Brawl became roommates in their shared apartment.

And Shockwave and J, who revealed to the rest of the team that the two were dating (leading an annoyed V to reluctantly giving a smug Uzi a few bucks), and lived in an rather large apartment together near the colony's evacuation spot.

Shockwave, still having the old habit to tamper and tinker with things, turned one of the apartment's two offices (the other being own by J) into his new workshop after moving his lab equipment out of the old factory.

One of the main reasons they live so close to the evacuation spot: the place used to be a storage warehouse, meaning the it had materials he can work with.

Another was that the Combaticons, after being shown the message of Megatron disbanding the Decepticons known as "The Final Order", left Copper-9 when they built a ship. Brawl was offered to join them but he kindly refused, saying that he's happy as part of the Murder Drones.

The Sinnertwin, meanwhile... no one really knows where it went after that. It just... took off without saying goodbye, not that it even CAN speak anyway.

Why it had helped the Murder Drones against Cyn, Shockwave had a theory originating from the knowledge that when an animal leaves its hunting ground, it's usually because it's threatened by something.

Which means the the most likely possibility that the reason the Sinnertwin helped them is because, giving its animalistic, predatory behaviour, it recognised Cyn as a threat. That's the theory, at least.

Doll and Soundwave was given the pod that N, V and J arrived on Copper-9 with to use as a base of operations because they plan to spy on Starscream and Tarantulas and figure out what their agendas are.

Turns out, Soundwave knew that Tessa was Cyn all along and yet he joined her anyway, not so he could help her consume the planet but so he could SPY on her and thwart her plans. He was acting as a double agent against Cyn.

Scorn, Battletrap, Scowl, Alice and Beau went back to the facility where they came from with the Spinosaur Sentinel taking it upon himself to look for more answers and find out what else the humans knew of the Solver.

Slash, the red-eyed Sentinel that harasses Lizzy for some unknown but comedic reason, meanwhile, has took a rather surprising liking to V and has been staying with her and Brawl. Scorn has allowed her to stay with the two since that was what she wanted.

Speaking of which, Uzi, having to no longer look over her shoulder, not worrying about possession by Cyn, used her boosted Absolute Solver powers to recreate the areas that Outpost-3 lost in the cataclysm. She had gain a little bit of respect from her peers, returned to school and gave a presentation about her experience.
