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

On an abandoned building in the area known as Outspot 137, V was standing on one of the Skycripers, eagerly scanning the area in search of prey to hunt. Through the wrecked buildings and disabled cars, she was able to pick up the movement of three Worker drones in an abandoned building. Immediately, a smile full of madness and longing appeared on her face, and V extended her wings and claws and sped off towards the building.

Inside the building, three worker drones were searching through the rubble for any resources such as batteries or spare parts. One of the workers was searching on the first floor when he heard a noise coming from behind him. He turned around and switched on his flashlight to see the source of the sound, but he found nothing. He turned back to continue his work, but the sound returned, this time accompanied by the laughter of a girl. In a panic, he began to check his surroundings, but he found nothing either. Fear and panic began to grip him. Then the noise returned again, accompanied by the same laughter. The worker tried to escape from the building, but he collided with something that made him fall and knock his flashlight to the ground. The worker tried to find his flashlight to see what he had collided with. When he found it and switched it on, he saw a dissample drone in front of him with an X drawn on its screen and a crazy smile. Before he could scream, V severed his head with its tail, grabbed his body with its talons, and cut him in half, then began to drink the oil with relish.

On the second floor, two worker drones were searching for resources when they heard a noise coming from the first floor. They knew something had happened to their companion, but before they could think of escaping, they heard a thud behind them. When they turned on their flashlights, they saw their friend's head lying on the ground.

They screamed and ran in terror, trying to escape the building. When they reached the exit, one of them spotted something standing on the roof.

V was standing there, greedily devouring their companion's body, an X on its screen, staring at them with predatory eyes and a snarl of madness.

V began moving quickly on its hind legs like a cat and pounced on one of the workers, tearing at its body.

The other worker drone watched in horror, frozen in place, its body trembling.

V glanced at him with a smile and said, oil dripping from her mouth, "Run. That's the best part of hunting." The drone worker felt terrified and gathered his strength, trying to escape quickly, but V transformed her hand into a gun and shot him in the legs.

The worker fell to the ground in pain and tried to get up again, but V caught him, pinned him to the ground, and began to tear him apart as he screamed and begged for help.

When V was finished, she said, laughing, oil still dripping from her mouth, "Okay, who's next?"

V was the opposite of N and J when it came to hunting. She hunted for fun and felt something like ecstasy with each prey she killed, especially when she heard her prey's cries for help. This was like a song that delighted her ears and made the hunt even sweeter.

In Outspot 184, J shot 3 of the worker drones and eliminated them quickly without pursuing or wasting time. She carried their bodies and took them to the spire.

J didn't waste her time enjoying killing worker drones like V or hesitate like N, as what mattered to her was the results at the end of the day.

But as the days passed, these results began to decline little by little due to the hidden shelters in which their prey hides to protect them.

J knew that this would cause them problems, so she resorted to using other methods while hunting. She would examine the workers from afar before hunting them, and she would interrogate some of them and take information from them in painful ways so that they would reveal where their companions were hiding.

When J was flying in the sky, returning from the spire and heading to her hunting area, she noticed some movements below of some of the workers. She landed and began to observe before deciding to hunt them or interrogate them.

While observing, I noticed that some of the workers had what looked like stars on their shoulders and were moving under the orders of their leader, and they were all armed.

Upon seeing this, J realized that she had found some prey, as most of the workers were moving randomly, without organization or orders, and without arming, so she decided that she would not kill this group for now.

While the group of workers was moving, their leader said: "We did not find anything here. What about the others? Were they lucky?"

One of the workers replied, "No, sir, we have lost contact with the second group, and communication with the third group has become distorted."

The leader said, "Okay, let the rest of you know that we are returning. We will not benefit from staying..."

Before he could complete his words, J fired a light bomb at them, which distracted them and caused them to lose their sight. Before any of them could respond or even run away, J turned one of her hands into an electric shock and spat them all out, knocking them unconscious.

When the leader began to regain his consciousness, he saw in front of him a Dissample Drone in the form of a female, and she was devouring one of the workers. When the leader looked closely, he saw that it was one of his squad members, and he was not lost, but rather it seemed that it had killed four of his squad members, and he and another member remained alive and was sitting next to him.

When J saw that the leader had woken up, she threw the worker's body on the ground and said, "Well, well, look who has finally woken up from his sleep."

When Commander heard J talking, he was not shocked. He had been informed by the head of the shelter that these things could talk. Rather, he collected all the information he knew about the current situation and said firmly, "I will save you time and effort. I will not tell you anything, so it is better that you relax yourself and kill me."

J replied to him as she walked towards him, "Don't worry, I don't want any information from you. Your band members have told me everything beforehand." She continued after stopping behind him and the other member: "But I want to make you an offer." She turned her hands into a sword and placed it on their necks and said in a terrifying voice, "What do you think about that?"

The leader looked at the other member who was his assistant in the squad and he began to become afraid and said to J: Why should I care about this offer of yours? If the members of my squad have told you everything, why don't you kill us now and end the matter?

J said after bringing the two swords closer to their necks, "You are the leader and this is your assistant, and these four are soldiers who follow your orders, right?"

The leader remained silent and craned his neck as he stared at J, who was standing above his head and giving him cold looks after he realized that this was all the information that J knew after killing four members of the squad.

J said, "You know, it has been a long time since my squad and I began our mission to hunt workers," and she continued after she returned her hands to normal and stood in front of these two and said, "But during all those years we have not found a squad of workers working as organized and with average armament as your squad."

The leader said, "I will never tell you anything..."

J interrupted him and said, "But this was not directed at you."

The leader looked at his assistant, as if fear had overtaken him, and he heard him say in a voice filled with hesitation and fear, "Do you promise...that you will not kill me?"

J said, giving him a terrifying look, "I give you my word that I will not show you hell and I will not make you wish for death."

The leader tried to say something, but J put her hand on his mouth and said to the assistant, "So what do you have?"

The assistant was trembling with fear after seeing J brutally kill, torture, and eat his four squad members in front of him. He was looking for any way to escape this nightmare.

The assistant said in a voice filled with fear, "The head of the colony sent us here to search for..."

Before he could finish, the commander interrupted him, "Don't reveal anything.."

J hit the leader until he was silent, and said as she looked at the assistant " please continue".

The assistant said hesitantly, "We were sent to search somewhere."

"A place? What kind of place is it that takes six armed worker drones to find," J said.

The assistant said, "I don't know, but he gave us a symbol and told us to find any place related to this symbol."

J said while thinking, "A symbol?" She immediately unbuckled the assistant and gave him a pen from her pocket. She said to him in an angry voice, "You only have ten seconds."

The assistant drew three arrows: an arrow to the north, an arrow to the southwest, and an arrow to the southeast. These arrows were connected to a hexagonal circle.

J watched the worker as he was drawing and saw the leader's expression, which began to show fear. Then she knew that this information was correct and said to the leader, "It seems that I don't need you now." She shot him and turned to the assistant and said to him, "So the last question before you go, where is your shelter location?"

The assistant answered her fearfully, and she knew that the shelter was located in outspot203.

"Go now before I change my mind," J said to the assistant, a thoughtful look on her face.

As the assistant began to run, V pounced on him and started tearing him apart and eating him.

"You made your prey run away," V said as she ate the assistant.

"It doesn't matter," J said, giving her a disgusted look at the way she was eating. "The information I got is more important than a cheap piece of junk."

"Information? Like what?" V said, tilting her head in surprise.

"I'll tell you everything on the way back. We don't have enough time to carry it out today; the sun will rise anyway."

When V and J arrived at the spire, J said, "Don't forget what I told you."

V said, "Yes, yes, I heard you the first seven times. Tomorrow it's a team mission and I have to be fully prepared and all that."

J said angrily, "It's a very important operation. It'll be a big problem if those stupid Workers find out about this, so we have to..."

V interrupted her, saying, "Take them all out. I know that. The important thing is that we'll have fun killing some Workers tomorrow. Don't worry." And she went to sleep.

J rolled her eyes and noticed that one of her squad members was missing. She said irritably, "Where is that useless idiot anyway?" and continued, "I'm sure he's wasting his time right now."
