The Ebony-haired Drone Girl Sat In The Interrogation Room, She Was A Little Scared.She Sat, One Leg Crossed

The ebony-haired drone girl sat in the interrogation room, she was a little scared. She sat, one leg crossed over the other, holding her hands together to self soothe. "Y-you can ask me anything you need to, I'll answer to the best of my memory..." she insisted, she was starting to regret wanting to go out today.

"You seem familiar." Abruptly commented a brunette security drone as she looked Tessa up and down with those yellow eyes of hers, almost like she was scanning her with sensors hidden behind the visor as she pondered who they might be or where they had been seen before.

Compared to a disassembly drone, she was clearly a bit taller being about six feet (or about 1.83M if we're talking metric.), more heavily armored, and there wasn't an exposed sensory array attached to the headband. That and she was weirdly silent in spite of her size...

RoboTessa jumped slightly at the security drone. "Cor blimey, you gave me a startle." She stared at the other drone, shocked at how tall she was. "I... I was formerly known as Tessa James Elliott... and then... well, everything happened," she rubbed her gauntlets near where her wrists were out of anxiety, "I've been dead for at least a decade, but, through some mechanical intervention, I'm alive again, somehow... I'm sorry if I upset you," she winced a little, she was scared if she was in trouble, she didn't like getting in trouble at all, too many bad memories of her getting in trouble with her parents were starting to show up in her mind, she smiled sheepishly. "I-if there's any issue, you could reach out to Jay-b... I mean" she stopped herself from using her pet name for J, "Serial Designation J, if there's any issues... she's one of the drones who helped put me back together."

She held Nate's hand reassuringly, she felt sorrow to hear that but, she knew that he meant well.

"We all process grief differently, Nate. I am not one to judge. Do you want to talk about her?" She hopped up and patted the abandoned counter of the store's cashier desk, offering Nate a place to sit and chat.

Hey Nate, it's Tessa (xXRoboTessaXx) I figured out a recipe for oil ice cream, I'll bring some by later. Do you know if the worker drone colony has a clothing store? I need more clothes to wear than the spacesuit, my dress from J and the pretty blue one someone gifted to me. No rush, I'll meet you at the second doors.

Hopes and Goals

Okay, so since I've returned to being alive, and I am more than happy to repair any drone that needs repairing, there's another job I'd like to have that I work more of my time at. It'd be a fun idea because Jaybird is doing patrols but, I don't think she's enjoying her old job as much anymore. I hope to open my own beauty parlour though. I've been sewing new wigs made of heat resistant nylon, I've been practicing sharpening and polishing J's claws, I know how to cut, style and dye wigs. I just need somewhere to set up shop. Maybe Jaybird will see a building that survived the planet explosion that I could use because I don't want to open shop in the bunker, a lot of drones are scared of J, and I want her be welcome any time she wants to be there with me. It would be fun having her as a receptionist.

I know it's a crazy, outback, ridiculous dingo-brained pipe dream, but a girl can dream, right?

She scooped Nate up, as well as some of his broken limbs. "It's alright, accidents happen. Hold on, we're gonna head back to the pod cavern and I'm going to get my tools and fix you up, alright?" She ran up the embankment with whatever the drone version of adrenaline was being her energy.

@nate-doorman-elliot

.. ..he's exploring and gets trapped under rocks.......n hadn't checked in

She had heard some noise outside of the landing pod and she went to check it out. RoboTessa ran to the side of the cliff where the noise came from. "NATE! OH MY GOODNESS!" She exclaimed as she ran down a less steep grade of the embankment. "Are you alright?" she asked as she ran to his side

"No, I am aware," the robotic version of Tessa responded reassuringly, "you knew that I was the reason they were protected from Mother and Father."

Tessa giggled a little at the memory, "I remember you then, I don't understand though why mother got so mad at me doing the same thing." She laughed a little more, "Gosh, I'm sure I probably caused a few of her grey hairs," she offered Vanessa a hug. "it's great to see you again, Vanessa,"

The brunette security drone would just sigh... hand Tessa a thermos of oil, and calmly signaled for her to go.

"Just... don't wander so closely to the camera room next time, alright... kiddo?"

She wasn't sure if this was actually Tessa or a facsimile, so she was being a bit standoffish for the time being.

Vanessa wasn't about to say that J already knew who she was... since she thought it was better to let Tessa figure it out and remember on her own.

Being the sole security drone in the manor was a complicated operation. She had to keep the workers organized and in check, especially when Tessa's parents were not home... while juggling other duties like pest control and keeping an eye on the kid as well.

That night though, she wasn't there... technically. She could still remember when that body went offline suddenly as something suddenly cut through her core.

"I couldn't ever be annoyed at you," she said, wiping away digital tears, "I wouldn't ever want to..." She smiled through the sorry, "I... I think I needed to talk about this, but, I didn't know I needed to. I wouldn't want to talk to J about this stuff," she built up her courage to say the name of the drone who took everything from her, "Cyn... and the solver, they abused poor Jay bird too... she abused all of us... me, you, V, Jaybird... everyone... it was horrible..."

She hugged Nate from the side, reassuring, "But we're free now, like birds, we're free now... and safe, and that's the most important thing."
