Plot Summary

A heart-warming story of destroying mankind, Uzi, a sardonic teen Worker Drone gone rogue befriends N, an excitable optimistic Murder Drone sent to destroy her, creating what we can assume is a very bad relationship for all humans.

Worker Drones are autonomous robots helping humans mine exoplanets, but after humans were wiped from the planet, the Worker Drones created a civilization all to themselves, however the parent company was not fond of the idea of runaway AI and sent Disassembly Drones to kill off all the Worker Drones.

Uzi Doorman, a teenage worker drone wants to go out and stop the Disassembly Drones instead of hiding behind doors, and along the way learns of many secrets about herself, the worker drones, and the Disassembly Drones, as her and N (a Disassembly Drone) start to form a bond.
